Your Training Questions Answered: Zone 2, Protein Timing & Muscle Building Through Every Decade - AMA Episode #1 with Dr. Tony Boutagy
Description
Our first Ask Me Anything podcast is here.
I answer your questions on training through menopause and beyond - from resistance training and protein timing to Zone 2, mitochondria, and training into your 70s and 80s.
In this session, we cover:
✔️ Do we really lack female-specific resistance training research?
✔️ “Stay in your lane” - the danger of experts giving advice outside their field
✔️ Zone 2 training, mitochondria, and whether cardio helps or hinders hypertrophy
✔️ Lactate threshold, heart rate, and why lab testing still matters
✔️ Carbs vs fat for endurance - and why elite athletes aren’t the best model for most women
✔️ Protein timing in women - does it differ from men?
✔️ Light vs heavy weights, and why variety still matters
✔️ Testosterone and postmenopausal training
✔️ Sarcopenia, injuries, rotator cuff issues, and training into your 70s and 80s
✔️ Tai chi, gymnastics, and “second-tier” activities for longevity
✔️ The truth about wearables, recovery scores, and training frequency myths
We didn’t get to every question this time, so another Q&A will be recorded soon. If you’d like to submit one, leave it in the comments or send it through on Instagram.
