Summary

Ep 105. Are you in your fitness era but feel confused about how to ACTUALLY fuel your body for muscle, blood sugar balance and hormone health? Lauren Papanos, MS, RD, CSSD is a registered dietician, hormone specialist, and sports performance expert who shares how to eat before/after workouts and her functional approach to women’s health issues like PCOS and hypothyroidism.

HERE’S THE JUICE:

Why your meals directly before and after exercise should be completely different than your meals outside of your training window
Why eating fat and taking supplements (omegas, Vit C) around your workout window is counterproductive
What the bodybuilder diet got right and wrong (i.e. “refeed days” for thyroid and appetite)
The potential risks of going on a low carb diet
Why your thyroid needs carbohydrates (the science on kisspeptin levels)
What labs you should request if you suspect you have a sluggish thyroid
Red light and topical glutathione for thyroid inflammation
If hair mineral tests are accurate + diet changes to replace our deficient minerals
How to relieve constipation holistically
The most ideal “exercise split” for women

0:08.7	YouTube channel where we're posting the full video and audio files of all of these episodes,
0:14.8	What's the Juice podcast channel. You will see that I am in our brand new podcast home studio,
0:19.8	which is in my basement,
0:27.4	which my husband, Nicholas, lovingly built by hand for me with his brothers and friends.
