💌 Some things deserve more space than an episode allows. Join us on Substack for deeper dives, exclusive resources, and the nuance that actually helps you make sense of your health. 👉 https://proofpractice.substack.com/ What's the actual weekly minimum for a healthy metabolism? Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan explains why resistance training three to four days a week is non-negotiable for a good metabolic profile, since healthy skeletal muscle is the key driver while Dr. Gabrielle Lyon breaks down why progressive overload doesn't always mean adding more weight, it can mean more volume, more rest, or more consistency instead. The Proof of Practice: Where Science Meets Practice Hosted by the most respected names in women's health: Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan, Amber Taylor, Gabby Reece, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, and Dr. Stacy Sims, this show exists because women have been studied less, treated as afterthoughts, and given advice built for men. We're changing that. Every episode brings evidence-based, experience-backed conversations on strength, metabolism, hormones, longevity, and performance — for women, by women who've dedicated their careers to getting it right. No trends. No shortcuts. Just the proof that practice works. Listen and Subscribe: Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/033fm1E...
