Carbs? Fasting? Lifting Heavy? Confused by all the fitness advice flying around lately?
You’re not alone.
One scroll through social media and you’ll find everyone from trainers to PhDs arguing over:
-
Should women fast or eat frequently?
-
Is cardio or strength more effective for fat loss?
-
Does protein timing really matter?
-
Do we need to “lift heavy” or just be consistent?
-
Can you gain muscle in a deficit—or is that nonsense?
It’s enough to make you throw up your hands and wonder… Who do I even trust anymore? The good news? These debates don’t mean science is broken. They mean science is working.
Experts like Dr. Stuart Phillips, Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple, and Dr Jen Gunter remind us that the best answer to many fitness questions is: “It depends.”
They’re not afraid to say:
Your goals matter
Your phase of life matters
And yes, the science evolves
And that’s exactly the point. People like Layne Norton, PhD are vocal about one critical truth:
“If someone never changes their mind, they’re probably not following the science.”
Layne, Stuart, Jen, and Lauren are some of the voices that we are listening to that blend real evidence with real-world context.
So… How do you filter through the noise?
Follow people who…
✅ Back up claims with research and don’t just cherry pick
✅ Aren’t afraid to say, “Hey, we were wrong”
✅ Explain why something works, not just what to do
In midlife, you’re not broken or behind. You just need advice that’s grounded in research and tailored to you.
Keep questioning. Keep evolving. That’s what smart fitness looks like.
