Women’s Fitness Myths, Busted with Science!
|
In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple to cut through the noise and tackle some of the most persistent myths in women’s fitness. We break down where misinformation shows up in popular programs, why overly complicated plans often backfire, and what the science actually says about fasted training and low energy availability. We also get into hot topics like cold water immersion and cortisol, real sex-based differences in training responses, and why women’s fitness research is still so challenging to conduct well. If you’re looking for practical, evidence-based guidance instead of hype, this episode will help you train smarter and with more confidence.

No muscle is being abducted while you untie your shoes. A brand-new 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis just landed in Nutrients asking the exact question that...
What up as the flying metal germ tube dropped me back in MN after an amazing event with Coach Kav in Reston VA. Today I still watching the internet lose its darn mind over one number: 28.7% That’s the headline weight loss from the Phase 3 TRIUMPH-4 retatrutide trial, currently being passed around like a golden ticket to metabolic Willy Wonka land. And yeah—on paper? That number is wild, no doubt... ...But before you start celebrating or rage-posting about “shortcut culture,” let’s do the...
