#378 ‒ Women's health and performance: how training, nutrition, and hormones interact across life stages | Abbie Smith-Ryan, Ph.D.

Hey everyone, welcome to the Drive Podcast. I'm your host, Peter Atia. This podcast, my website, and my weekly newsletter all focus on the goal of translating the science of longevity into something accessible for everyone. Our goal is to provide the best content in health and wellness, and we've established a great team of analysts to make this happen. It is extremely important to me to provide all of this content without relying on paid ads.

To do this, our work is made entirely possible by our members, and in return, we offer exclusive member-only content and benefits above and beyond what is available for free. If you want to take your knowledge of this space to the next level, it's our goal to ensure members get back much more than the price of the subscription. If you want to learn more about the benefits of our premium membership, head over to peterateiamd.com forward slash subscribe. My guest this week is Abby Smith Ryan. Abby is the Associate Chair for Research in the Department of Exercise and Sports Science, the director of the applied

physiology lab, and the co-director of the Human Performance Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She's authored more than a hundred and eighty peer reviewed papers, books, chapters, and has led NIH and industry funded trials on exercise and nutrition interventions. Her research focuses on body composition, metabolism, and cardiovascular health, but with a special attention to women's health through the perimenopausal and postmenopausal transition, as well as overweight and obese populations. She is also a dedicated mentor, educator, and advocate for empowering women with evidence based approaches to health and performance.
