Masterclass: Master Fat Loss, Blood Sugar Control and Metabolic Health for Longevity
Episode 427
Angela presents a special compilation episode, dedicated to exploring the critical role of skeletal muscle health, mastering fat loss, metabolism and blood sugar in optimising longevity and metabolic resilience.
Featuring insights from experts Matt Gallant and Wade Lightheart, Danielle Hamilton and Barielle Lyon, the discussion covers the science behind metabolic flexibility, reverse dieting, and the common pitfalls of traditional fat loss approaches. Hear practical strategies for maintaining a healthy metabolism, especially after the holiday season, and how to navigate indulgences without sacrificing your health goals.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Muscle is the key to longevity: Skeletal muscle is essential for metabolic health, resilience, and optimal aging.
- Protein intake is critical: Aim for 1g of protein per pound of ideal body weight to support muscle and overall health.
- Avoid common fat loss mistakes: Calorie-cutting without strategy can harm metabolism; focus on building muscle and metabolic flexibility instead.
- Reverse dieting prevents weight regain: Gradually increasing calories after weight loss helps maintain results.
- Circadian rhythms impact glucose control: Morning light exposure and meal timing are crucial for balancing blood sugar.
- Fasted training considerations: While it works for some, post-training refueling is key for muscle maintenance, especially in older adults.
- Perimenopause requires a tailored approach: Resistance training and protein intake are pivotal for managing body composition changes.
