Good Carbs vs Bad Carbs - Episode 231
This episode is sponsored by Courage & Grace Body Care. Visit them at CGBodyCare.com and use code STRENGTH for 15% off your first order.
In this episode of The Strength Academy Podcast, we delve into the topic of carbohydrates, discussing the difference between good and bad carbs. Spoiler alert! There are no inherently bad carbohydrates, rather it's all about understanding their role in a healthy diet, especially for athletes. Listen in as we debunk myths such as eating fat causing weight gain and clarify that consuming more calories than needed leads to fat storage, regardless of the macronutrient source. We also get into the importance of timing carbohydrate intake around workouts and the impact of age and metabolic regulation, as well as the significance of adequate calorie intake for proper performance and recovery.

Customer Reviews
So much knowledge!
Jen and Kristen are both so knowledgeable. I just found the show on episode 187ish and will be binging the rest, keep up the good work! - TitanFuelSupps
New Episodes Are Just Ok
I used to love this podcast. Now episodes feel flat and stagnant. I personally used to love the emphasis on Women’s strength and nutrition from an evidence based perspective. Now that the scope has expanded, I feel like what made the podcast unique and intriguing is gone. There are so many other great science based strength podcasts I can listen to, this one gets lost.
Motivated
I listened to the podcast when Mary was on it and liked it but I find it so much better with the new cohost. She sounds more positive and there’s a good flow between the two. I’m excited to get back into lifting and continue listening to the podcast. It always motivates
