In this podcast episode, Leo and his special guest, Dr Dean St Mart, discuss the importance of understanding the unique biology and psychology of females when it comes to coaching and designing meal plans. They highlight the significance of the menstrual cycle and its impact on training, supplementation, and overall health. KEY TAKEAWAYSThe approach to dieting for females should take into account their unique biology and psychology, including the menstrual cycle and hormone fluctuations.Female-specific health issues can arise as a result of extreme dieting and low calorie intake, such as hormone imbalances and estrogen dominance.It is important for coaches to understand and address the root causes of health problems in female clients, rather than just focusing on physical appearance or weight loss.Monitoring markers such as fasting blood glucose and blood pressure can provide insights into a client's stress levels and metabolic health.Prioritising overall health and lifestyle improvements, such as sleep hygiene and micronutrient balance, can be just as important as achieving a specific physique goal for female clients.BEST MOMENTS"You can't really diet a female the same way as a male.""It's important to have an understanding that the end goal, the physique goal, is often outweighed by some of the lifestyle improvements you're going to give your clients.""If a female isn't in a position to diet, there has to be an acceptance there when you are onboarding that person that they need to be aware that if their body's not in a prime position to diet, then they're not entering into a dieting phase.""The ultimate thing that suffers is the hormone output.""You almost want to have that accomplished feel like I'm saying that you are giving that person the skills to correct these potential hormone imbalances that again, getting lean could be an amazing goal for a female, but having normal periods could be even better than having a beach body physique."VALUABLE RESOURCESEmail Leo at [email protected]://tysontransformations.co.uk/ https://www.instagram.com/leotysonn2/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/leo-tyson-b719ba191/ SN Education - https://www.sneducation.co.ukSupplement Needs - https://www.supplementneeds.co.ukLeo is a fitness professional and nutritionist who’s ended up specializing in female health by chance after seeing female clients struggle to get the same results he quickly realized you can’t train and diet women like they are just smaller men!
