Summary

Proper muscle mass is foundational for a resilient body and healthy aging. Training to build muscle is a worthy endeavor–regardless of any body composition goals–and today’s episode explores why.

In this conversation, Erin chats with Liz Wolfe about the interplay between muscle mass and nutrition, from blood sugar balance to glucose control; tips on protein, carb, and amino acid intake around working out; and thoughts on building a lifestyle around nutrition and working out that is not grounded in perfectionism.

Liz Wolfe is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and best-selling author who encourages women - all women, but especially the 40-ish crowd - to embrace their inner (and outer) badass using nutrition, fitness and beauty concepts that serve both their bodies and their sanity.

Liz is the author of the Wall Street Journal Bestseller Eat the Yolks, the host of the award-winning Balanced Bites Podcast, and the co-founder of the Athletic Mom fitness program.

Welcome to the Functional Nutrition Podcast. I'm your host, Erin Holt. I'm an integrative and

functional medicine nutritionist with a feisty attitude in well over a decade of clinical experience.

0:13.0

I work with women all over the world through my online programs. And I'm also the founder of the

0:18.0

Functional Nutrition Academy, a school in practitioner mentorship

0:21.7

where we help other clinicians level up with functional medicine methodologies. I've got a bone

0:27.6

to pick with diet culture and the conventional health care model that are both systematically

1:26.2

conversation are just that. They're conversational.

That's really self-indeligent on my part. I just love to chat with Liz and ask her all like the

1:35.8

random questions between like biohacking stuff and then like, you know, reality TV. So

1:42.7

buckle up. This is one of those episodes. You'll feel like you're
