Ep. 316 The Impact of Age, Gender and Lifestyle on Metabolic Health with Dr. Ben Bikman

Dr. Bikman and I dive into a wide range of topics, including agerelated changes in fat cells, genderspecific differences, the contrasting dynamics of hyperplasic and hypertrophic fat cells, and the impact of hormone replacement therapy and a metabolic buffer.

We explore the changes in insulin sensitivity occurring during perimenopause and menopause and discuss the role of muscle, explaining how it can utilize either carbohydrates or fat for fuel.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

• How our fat cells change with age
• How lifestyle factors impact insulin sensitivity
• The hormonal changes that occur during perimenopause and menopause
• Why it makes sense for women to have more fat cells than men
• The importance of resistance training for building muscle
• Risks associated with relying on GLP1 agonists for weight loss
• How immobility activates inflammatory pathways in muscles, leading to insulin resistance
