192 - Muscle Myths Busted and Why Women Need to Lift w/ Dr. Shannon Ritchey

In today’s episode, Dr. Ritchey and I discuss weightlifting, muscle building, and the misconceptions that often surround them. Here are my top three takeaways from our conversation: We debunk the myth that weight training can turn fat into muscle. Dr. Shannon explains that while you can build muscle and lose fat at the same time, they don’t convert into each other. Fat loss comes from diet, while muscle gain requires strength training and sufficient protein. This is key for achieving a "toned" look! We talk about how many women fear becoming "bulky" from weightlifting. Dr. Shannon emphasizes that building muscle is crucial for women, especially as they age, as it supports healthy body composition and hormone regulation, including insulin sensitivity. Strength training can reduce the risk of conditions like gestational diabetes and improve overall health. If you're a soon-to-be mom or know someone who is, this part of the episode is a must-listen! Dr. Shannon shares her insights on the benefits of strength training during pregnancy. Contrary to popular belief, lifting weights while pregnant can be incredibly beneficial, helping to maintain muscle mass and improve recovery postpartum. She provides practical advice on how to safely strength train, emphasizing the importance of exercise selection and stability. Tune in now to learn more!
