âSports Nutrition & Supplements - What Menopausal Women Really Need with Abbie Smith-Ryan, PhD
The most recent Feisty Menopause podcast, Sports Nutrition & Supplements - What Menopausal Women Really need with Abbie Smith-Ryan, PhD, is one you'll want to bookmark, listen to a few times and take some notes.
As most of you know, I am not an advocate for supplements that are not based on rigorous peer reviewed science. Did you know that most supplement research is done on men? Women, especially those of us in peri- and post-menopause, are often excluded from exercise and nutrition research. We're also the largest consumers of supplements. So, when I find studies and peer-reviewed papers specifically addressing women I'm eager to share them with you. This podcast is full of EXCELLENT scientifically valid research on which supplements serve us best. I encourage you to listen to the entire podcast so you understand WHY these supplements might benefit you. Here are some of the supplements discussed that have been tested and researched specifically for women.

Supplement considerations for the active female individual, from the article Active Women Across the Lifespan: Nutritional Ingredients to Support Health and Wellness, Ryan-Smith , et al., published in Sports Med. 2022; 52 (Suppl 1): 101â117.

This podcast is just not about supplements. Dr. Smith-Ryan also discusses specific sports nutrition needs of women. Did you know you should NOT workout fasted? You need to eat something before you workout! Protein and an easily digestible carbohydrate is best. After your training session is the time to eat more complex carbohydrate and starches. Yay!
