Do you really need that post-workout protein shake, or is real food (and simple habits) enough for great health? In this episode, Dr Mary Barson and Dr Lucy Burns unpack the difference between training for performance and training for health, explain why “gym bro” advice often doesn’t suit everyday women, and show how small, consistent choices like fasting, strength work and low-carb real food can boost metabolic health without endless rules. Listen in to learn when fasted exercise is helpful, how to tell if you personally do better eating before or after a workout, and easy ways to get enough protein without relying on ultra-processed shakes.
