episode 68: Strong girls: what if we tried to make women bigger? Focusing on lean tissue.
What if you tried to get bigger instead of always trying to get smaller?
Lean tissue (muscle!) is a predictor of how well women age. It’s related to your independence, your risk of osteoporosis, and your metabolism. In this episode, my friend and colleague, Dr. Erin Ley ND, and I break down barriers to the discussion of “growing strong women” and why women should be focusing on building muscle. We review the nutritional needs of women to grow muscle and give you take home calculations to get you started on a path towards strength.
