The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett · Women’s Fitness Expert: What You NEED To Know About Dieting & Exercise | Dr. Stephanie Estima · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

So when she was saying like, I train when I do resistance training, if she were to be monitoring her hormones, she would see both a glucose spike and a cortisol spike.

when she's training because to be able to train with enough intensity and effort, you need to get into something called sympathetic drive.

You need to be in like stress physiology.

So her cortisol spiking when she's training as well.

So I want to really caution women away from being scared of normal and predicted, you know, spikes, right?

Like glucose spikes, cortisol spikes.

So that's what I would say just to start off that conversation.

Women with PMOS, it used to be known as PCOS, now it's polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, her body typically behaves more like someone who is diabetic, like a type 2 diabetic, where she has...

issues with glucose disposal.

She has issues with insulin sensitivity.

So specific recommendations for someone who has PCOS is absolutely she should be training because every time she's contracting her muscles, she's actually helping whether insulin is present or not for her to pull that glucose into the muscle cell and to be able to make energy.

So that's really fantastic.

I also think that whether you have PCOS or you're, you know, type 2 diabetic, I think that zone 2 cardio is fantastic.

Again,

But you can also benefit from the very high intensity cardio that, you know, might be categorized as high intensity interval training or HIIT or sprint interval training, sometimes called SIT.

This is like SIT is basically like 10 to 20 seconds, all out, ovaries to the wall, 100% effort.

And then you recover.

And then you do that, you know, four, five, six times if you're feeling, you know, particularly tired.

you know, energetic.

And that can also, that stress, that cortisol spike and all the, you know, the physiological cascade that happens from that is going to make you stronger and a better glucose disposal agent, right?
