About this episode
Are you feeling off… but your labs say you're "normal"? In Episode 6 of the Chef Triathlete Podcast, we break down the subtle — and often ignored — signs of hormone imbalance in both men and women. From low testosterone and declining recovery in men, to perimenopause, menopause, and metabolic shifts in women, we unpack why so many people are told they're "fine" while still struggling with fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, stubborn weight gain, and lack of drive. We also dive into: • Why reference ranges don't always equal optimal • The role of cortisol and chronic stress • How overtraining, poor sleep, and under-recovery impact hormones • Why education and awareness come before intervention If you care about performance, longevity, and feeling like yourself again — this episode is for you. And next week, we bring on a special guest to go deeper into menopause, women's nutrition, and how training should evolve during hormonal transitions. Longevity is intentional.
