• 196 - Could Skipping Breakfast Be Messing with Your Hormones? w/ Dr. Austin Lake

  In today’s episode, Dr. Lake and I discuss all things women’s health. If you're looking to reclaim your health naturally, this episode is a must-listen! Here are three key takeaways that I found particularly interesting:  Intermittent Fasting for Women: A Different Approach: Dr. Lake challenges conventional intermittent fasting, especially for women. He advocates for a nutritious breakfast and lunch while shortening the evening eating window, aligning with circadian rhythms to improve insulin sensitivity and hormonal balance. His approach prioritizes listening to our bodies and nutrient-dense meals. The Role of Inflammation in Hormonal Imbalances: Inflammation plays a key role in women's health issues like PCOS and estrogen dominance. Dr. Lake highlights its link to insulin resistance and hormone imbalance, urging listeners to identify triggers like processed foods and toxins. Reducing inflammation supports better hormonal health and well-being.  Detoxing: More Than Just a Trend: Detoxing is often misunderstood, but Dr. Lake explains that our bodies detox naturally. For those with chronic issues, supporting these systems through exercise and sweating is key. He emphasizes that simple lifestyle changes, not extreme diets, can enhance detoxification. Tune in to the full episode for a deeper understanding of how to approach your health naturally and effectively.  Bio:  Dr. Austin Lake is a functional medicine practitioner and founder of Wholly Health, a wellness approach rooted in biblical principles and root-cause healing.

• 192 - Muscle Myths Busted and Why Women Need to Lift w/ Dr. Shannon Ritchey

  In today’s episode, Dr. Ritchey and I discuss weightlifting, muscle building, and the misconceptions that often surround them. Here are my top three takeaways from our conversation:  We debunk the myth that weight training can turn fat into muscle. Dr. Shannon explains that while you can build muscle and lose fat at the same time, they don’t convert into each other. Fat loss comes from diet, while muscle gain requires strength training and sufficient protein. This is key for achieving a "toned" look!  We talk about how many women fear becoming "bulky" from weightlifting. Dr. Shannon emphasizes that building muscle is crucial for women, especially as they age, as it supports healthy body composition and hormone regulation, including insulin sensitivity. Strength training can reduce the risk of conditions like gestational diabetes and improve overall health.  If you're a soon-to-be mom or know someone who is, this part of the episode is a must-listen! Dr. Shannon shares her insights on the benefits of strength training during pregnancy. Contrary to popular belief, lifting weights while pregnant can be incredibly beneficial, helping to maintain muscle mass and improve recovery postpartum. She provides practical advice on how to safely strength train, emphasizing the importance of exercise selection and stability. Tune in now to learn more!  Bio: Dr. Shannon is a former physical therapist and founder of Evlo Fitness. Her mission is to educate women on the importance of building muscle, and that building a strong body doesn’t have to tear you down.  Connect with Dr. Shannon Ritchey:   Instagram: dr.shannon.dpt and evlofitness   Evlo Fitness Website: evlofitness.com   Prenatal Program: evlofitness.com/prenatal  For a month discount use code JUSTINGREDIENTS at checkout Podcast: The Doctor Shannon Show   For 15% off your order at Coconu  Use Code KARALYNNE15 at https://coconu.com/?ref=justingredients- / Looking for more Just Ingredients content?  Instagram Stories: @just.ingredients Podcast Instagram: @just.ingredients.podcast Facebook Community: Join our group Discover our non-toxic product line: Shop Just Ingredients  Timestamps:  0:00 Intro 0:23 Shannon Ritchey Bio 0:49 Welcome Shannon Ritchey 4:00 Can Weight Training Turn Fat Into Muscle? 4:52 Cardio vs Weight Lifting 6:56 Can Lighter Weights Be Effective? 8:57 Can Short Workouts Be Effective For Building Muscle 12:18 Is Lifting Weights Making Women Bulky? 16:30 Is Weightlifting Hard On Joints? 18:36 Does Weight Training Stunt Growth In Kids 19:42 Overeating 24:07 Muscle Building Impacts on Hormones 27:30 Exercises To Focus On Muscle Growth 29:06 Strength vs Muscle Mass 30:04 What Are HIIT Workouts? 31:53 Coconu Ad  32:50 Metabolism 34:42 Staying Motivated 36:40 Imbalanced Hormones Play A Role In Fat Loss And Muscle Building 37:37 Is Soreness A Good Indicator of A Good Workout? 40:00 Weightlifting In Pregnancy And Postpartum 48:46 EVLO Resources Available 51:22 Overloading A Muscle Group 52:46 Is 35 Minutes of EVLO Enough? 57:00 What Is The Best Ingredient In Life?
