adaptive stress, epigenetic changes, which improves all of those markers that people are so adamant fasting does.
For women, no.
For men, I'm gonna say no as well, because when we're looking at the fueling mechanics of exercise, muscle is a very metabolically active tissue.
If your body is trying to fuel itself, it's going to break down the very first thing that's creating energetic need, which is muscle.
We see in women, women- So you're gonna lose muscle.
You're gonna break it down and use the amino acids as fuel.
You can tap into blood glucose and some fat, but when you aren't bringing blood glucose up through eating first, it's really hard for your body to understand that this is what you want it to do.
So it's like, okay, I need to conserve fat.
I don't want to go through all the glucose that I have because I need it for brain health.
So I'm going to start feeding more amino acids in to fuel what I'm doing.
Mm-hmm.
For women, we already use more amino acid than men.
So if we're looking at fasted training, then we're already increasing the amount of lean mass that our body's going to break down to use as fuel.
That's part of our hypothalamus.
That's a good way of wrapping it up.
Yeah.
It's not that we don't have blood glucose.
It's low blood glucose and no nutrients coming in that the hypothalamus is sensing.
So we're looking at neuropeptide responses within the brain, within the hypothalamus that controls appetite hormone, the way that your body's using fuel.
So if we don't have stuff coming in, the hypothalamus is like, oh, wait a second.
