In this enlightening episode, we explore the complexities surrounding exercise intensity and its impact on women’s health with Dr. Kristi Storoschuk, a PhD researcher. Dr. Kristi challenges the widely accepted notion that zone two training is the gold standard for fat burning, mitochondrial health, and longevity. She argues that this belief lacks solid scientific evidence and that higher intensity exercise in zones three and four may actually be more beneficial for mitochondrial adaptation.
Key discussions include:
– The myth of the 80/20 training split, which was developed for elite athletes, not everyday individuals exercising four times a week.
– The differences in fasting responses between humans and rodents, and the implications of this research for women.
– How cortisol from exercise differs from chronic stress impacts.
– The misconception around fasted exercise and its effects on women’s health.
– Insights on what lactate reveals about metabolic health and how Kristi’s current research may redefine our understanding of lactate thresholds.
