Written by | published on

Messing with your hormones won't help to reveal your abs, ladies! I have written about this problem previously. Actually the whole SuppVersity "Athlete's Triad"-Series ( read it ) is remotely related to it: Women working out like hulk and eating like a sparrow. A behavior that leads to hormonal imbalances and amenorrhea very reliably. So if you are wondering, why your menstrual cycle is messed up. Why you cannot get pregnant or why you simply stopped menstruating, ladies, this article is for you. Needless to say that the same goes for male and female trainers, obviously, for whom the results of a very recent study from the Pennsylvania State University and the Penn State University College of Medicine (Williams. 2014). Low T3 syndrome is also a result of dieting and a part of the (Female) Athletes Triad . Female Athletes' Body Comp Suf- fers From Dieting Female Athlete's Triad is not ex- clusively female Female Athlete's Triad - A V...

It's nice to be lean, but is it really worth ruining your health? I don't think so, but everyone is the architect of his / her own future. I want to say in advance that you'd better not read this article if you belong to the ever-increasing number of carbophobs (people who are afraid of carbohydrates) who have been so indoctrinated by the confusing information on the Internet that they are willing to close their eyes to all objective data. In view of the fact that you kept reading, I assume that you (a) don't belong to this group of blockheads or are (b) a blockhead who is about to scroll down to the comment section to start raving about how bad carbohydrates are, pointing out that "you just have to eat a ketogenic diet to live happily ever after" - spare me this bullshit, please! Not everything that's high carb is bad - even if your guru say so! Veggies Rule & They Contain Carbs, Too? If you go High Carb, Go Really High! Half As He...

The Female(?) Athlete Triad - Part II/III: LH, GH, IGF1, Insulin, Ghrelin, Leptin & Co Form a Self-Perpetuating Vicious Cycle

Written by | published on

I usually rant against pizza and beer, but once the athlete triad has struck, they can be an occasional part of the "healing protocol". In last Sunday's first installment of this series we have taken a look at the prevalence, etiology and fundamental cause of an entity that is, and I am repeating myself here, profoundly mis labeled as the " female athlete triad ". In fact, it is, as we have learned in the last installment , neither an exclusively female thing, nor a triad. If anything, it is a quintet or sextet. To make that clear, and give you guys, who make the same mistakes, but usually with less detrimental consequences, I will once more refer to it as "athlete triad" = AT,  in this second part of the Female(?) Athlete Triad Series in which we will take a look at the endocrine underpinnings of the previously described consequences of the temporary and long-term energy deficiency we have identified as the single most important causative fact...

The Female(?) Athlete Triad - Part I/III: How An Evolutionary Advantage Can Turn Its Ugly Face On Both Sexes!

Written by | published on

The cover of the Vogue is usually not the place to turn to, if you are looking for role-models, but let's be honest: Do you believe Hope Solo or Serena Williams suffer from amenorrhea or their fellow Olympian Brian Lochte from low testosterone? I don't think so. So, there must be something "real" athletes do that way too many weekend warriors, who are in it, often to look just like their stars don't do - and in this multi-part SuppVersity Special , we are going to figure out what this may be. I guess some of you will already have believed that I had forgotten about the requested and promised article on the "Female Athlete Triad" . As you can easily see, this is not the case and still, I must admit that it will take another week until I will eventually have make good on my promise, as this is only the first part of a multi-part feature . The main reason I decided to split things up is that I did not want you to simply skip on the fundamental inform...

Image 1: This would be a case where metformin probably won't help you to get your menses back - unless this is just one of your "yous" and you are taking high doses of anti-psychotics, of course. In view of the fact that I have piled up way more " On Short Notice " items than I can possibly squeeze into one installment, today's news on the right tea (green or black) for prostate cancer , the purported anti-obesity effects of leucine and alanine , which turn out to be inferior to those of whole protein, the anti-amenorrhea and weight loss effects of metformin in women on anti-schizophrenic drug and how this relates to PCOS, the surprising N=1 cortisol-raising, high blood pressure and water retaining effects of stevia , the stress and weight loss reducing effects of omega-3s and high DHA levels in the brain , and an effective yet rarely used hamstring exercise, the "Nordic hamstring exercise" , will be complemented by another installment of ...
