Are you matching your fueling and training?

Are you training based on your metabolism analysis ...or using math as a % of VO2 Max or Lactate Threshold?

n this episode, we dive into the critical connection between fueling and training, exploring how aligning your nutrition with your workouts can dramatically improve performance, endurance, and overall health. We’ll discuss the importance of personalized metabolic analysis and how tools like PNOE, a portable metabolic analyzer, can help you understand your unique metabolic profile to optimize your training and nutrition strategies.

What You’ll Learn:

• The significance of matching your fuel to your training needs.
• How the PNOE device measures metabolism and metabolic health at rest and during exercise.
• Insights into your body’s use of oxygen, production of carbon dioxide, and utilization of different fuel sources (fats vs. carbohydrates).
• Understanding your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) and how it impacts your daily caloric needs.
• How to identify your predominant fuel source through the Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER).
• The importance of metabolic flexibility and how well your body switches between burning fats and carbohydrates.

• Fuel Utilization Zones: Discover how specific heart rate zones correspond to fat and carbohydrate usage at different exercise intensities.
• Energy Expenditure: Learn how to calculate total calories burned during exercise and tailor your nutrition accordingly.
• Breathing Efficiency During Exercise: Insights into how your breathing patterns impact your performance and metabolic health.

Assessing Metabolic Health:

• Metabolic Flexibility: The importance of switching between fats and carbohydrates efficiently at rest and during exercise.
• Cardiovascular Fitness and Mitochondrial Efficiency: How VO2 max and ventilatory thresholds provide insights into your cardiovascular and mitochondrial health.

• Kisspeptin Overview: A neuropeptide crucial for regulating sex hormones, reproductive health, glucose control, and appetite. It is more sensitive in women and can be disrupted by stress, energy deficits, or nutrient deprivation, leading to reproductive and metabolic issues.
• Impact of Kisspeptin Disruption:
  • Menstrual irregularities and reduced sex hormone production.
  • Decreased insulin sensitivity and increased appetite.
  • Changes in body composition and overall hormonal imbalances.
• Metabolism & Hormones:
  • Developmental Influence: Metabolic factors influence kisspeptin neurons throughout life, especially during puberty and adulthood. Energy availability (calories/nutrients) impacts reproductive maturity.
  • Transient vs. Permanent Changes: Metabolic states can cause temporary or long-term changes in kisspeptin activity, with some influences becoming permanent, especially during key developmental periods.
  • Regulation at Multiple Levels: Kisspeptin neurons are regulated by metabolites (e.g., glucose, fatty acids) and hormones (e.g., insulin, leptin), controlling energy balance and reproduction.
• Kisspeptin and Energy: Although its role in food intake is debated, kisspeptin appears to play a key role in energy expenditure, possibly working with co-transmitters like glutamate to influence energy use in the body.

1. Balanced Nutrition:
   • Adequate carbohydrates and healthy fats to support hormone function.
   • Sufficient protein intake for muscle recovery and metabolism.
2. Stress Management:
   • Lower cortisol through mindfulness, proper recovery, and sleep.
   • Use cold/heat exposure with moderation to help regulate stress and hormones.
3. Exercise Modulation:
   • Avoid overtraining; balance high-intensity and recovery workouts.
   • Incorporate fat-adaptive training to improve cortisol and fat metabolism.
4. Thyroid Support:
   • Ensure intake of nutrients like iodine, selenium, zinc, and vitamin D.
   • Avoid excessive calorie restriction to maintain thyroid function.
5. Hormonal Balance:
   • Maintain a balanced energy state to support kisspeptin and reproductive health.
   • Consider hormone replacement or supplements if needed.
6. Mitochondrial Health:
   • Support mitochondria with CoQ10, magnesium, and antioxidants.
   • Promote fat metabolism through endurance training and targeted nutrition.

In summary, to optimize hormonal health and performance, aging female athletes should focus on balanced nutrition, recovery, stress management, and supporting mitochondrial function. Talk to Coach Debbie Potts to get a personalized program at www.debbiepotts.net
