Is fasting actually helping your hormones and recovery - or quietly making things worse?
In this episode, I break down the science behind fasting, autophagy, and inflammation for women 35+ who train hard.
You’ll learn:
- What autophagy really is (and what actually triggers it)
- Why calorie restriction — not just skipping meals — drives most of the research
- How fasting impacts cortisol and recovery in high-intensity training
- The difference between correlation and causation in inflammation claims
- When fasting can be strategic - and when it becomes under-fueling
If you’re a female CrossFitter over 35 trying to lose fat, support hormone balance, and improve recovery, this episode will help you understand whether fasting fits your lifestyle ... or if better fueling and stress management will get you further.
Because for most active women, the solution isn’t more restriction ... it’s smarter structure.
