This week on the Better show we bring back the AMA - Ask Me Anything with Dr. Stephanie Estima. We went to instagram and had a flood of questions, and the majority of them revolved around Female Muscle Building. We begin the episode by breaking the myth of Creatine especially for women’s use of it. We then discuss the best ways women can gain muscle, as we aren’t the same as our male counterparts. The age-old question that is asked of Dr. Steph, “Through training and nutrition, is there a way to gain muscle, but still limit fat gain?” Well listen in to hear the answer. Dr. Estima tells us how she feels about Amino Acids, and other ways to boost performance for training. We push into the next discussion around training Fasted, or training Fed, as some people may prefer fasted over fed workouts. We have a question about glucose levels rising during workouts and if it’s normal to see that, and finishing off the episode with Dr. Stephanie’s favourite protein powder. We are looking forward to our next AMA so be sure to follow Dr. Stephanie Estima on instagram to get the opportunity to contribute to the next one! Episode Overview: 0:00 Introduction2:00 Female Physique4:30 Creatine for Women20:30 Best Method to Gain Muscle for Women38:30 Strategy to Build Muscle while Limiting Fat Gain55:00 Amino Acids and Alternatives to Boost Performance58:30 Fasted or Fed Workouts1:00:30 Is it Normal to get a Glucose Spike during Fasted Exercise?1:04:20 My Favourite Protein Powder1:05:50 Conclusion Phil Maffetone Episode Link: https://youtu.be/qHKi0M3fPqQ My Favourite Protein: Use code "DR.ESTIMA10" for 10% offhttps://www.qnihealth.com/dr-stephanie-estimaMy Amazon Store:https://www.amazon.com/shop/dr.stephanie.estima?ref=prof_v_infl Sign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS - for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more moneyAre you A Healthcare Practitioner?
