ADVICE

Make Resistance Training A Lifelong Habit

  • Prioritise resistance training across the lifespan to maintain metabolic health, bone density, balance and independence with aging.
  • Make strength work a core habit to reduce risks such as diabetes and falls later in life.
ADVICE

Restore Energy To Protect Fertility

  • Avoid chronic low energy availability; eat enough to match training or the hypothalamus will down‑regulate reproductive function.
  • If fertility is an issue, increase calories and protein and reduce chronic catabolic stress to restore ovulation.
ADVICE

Fuel Before Training

  • Train in a fed state with protein and some carbohydrate before sessions to protect hypothalamic signalling and reproductive health.
  • Fuel and recover around workouts to avoid a chronic catabolic state and hormonal disruption.
