About

What are the differences between males and females, and does it really matter?

Aside from the obvious external anatomical differences, the main difference that impacts us with regards to exercise and our response to training, is our different sex hormones that dominate after puberty.

šŸ™‹ā€ā™‚ļø Men have significantly higher levels of testosterone

šŸ™‹šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø Womenā€™s key sex hormones, estrogen and progesterone fluctuate regularly throughout the menstrual cycle, go crazy and fluctuate unpredictably during perimenopause, and drop off almost completely postmenopause.


The natural fluctuations of our hormones impact:

šŸ§ā€ā™€ļø Our body composition & our weight

šŸ’Ŗ Our ability to make muscle

šŸ”„ Our metabolism - the fuels that we burn and spare

šŸ˜“ Our ability to recover from training

šŸ„µ How well we tolerate the heat

šŸ¤¬ Our moods

šŸ¤Æ And so much more!


In this episode we dive into these differences, the influence of our hormones, and what we can do to optimise our health and our training.
