    Fact-Checking Female-Specific Training & Nutrition Advice with Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple, PhD

    In this episode, Laurel and Sarah sit down with  muscle physiology researcher and science communicator Lauren Colenso-Semple to take a hard look at some of the most popular and problematic claims circulating in women’s health and fitness. Together, they unpack the slogan “women are not small men,” and the idea that women need completely different training and nutrition approaches than men. Lauren explains where the evidence actually stands on topics like muscle loss at 30, lifting to failure, cardio recommendations for women, bone density changes at menopause, training fasted versus fed, cycle syncing, cortisol “hacks,” and more. This conversation is a deep dive into separating women's physiology from marketing ploys. Learn why overcomplicating women’s training does more harm than good. You'll gain clear, evidence-based guidance for women in perimenopause, post-menopause, and beyond.

    109: Hot Flashes, Cold Facts: Menopause Myths That Won't Die

    In this episode of the Movement Logic podcast, Sarah and Laurel take on the most persistent—and profitable—myths about menopause and women’s health. From metabolism myths to cortisol panic, creatine hype, and new exercise “rules”, they separate marketing spin from actual science. They also unpack the nuanced role of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT)—who it helps, when it’s useful, and why menopause isn’t a medical emergency needing endless “fixes.” Sign up for the Bone Density Course Interest list Follow us @MovementLogicTutorials on Instagram 10:12 8 Menopause Myths and Misconceptions 37:08 Cortisol and Menopause 43:14 Exercise and Menopause 51:33 Muscle Loss and Menopause 55:00 Hormone Therapy and Muscle Mass: The Evidence 57:56 Debunking the Rapid Bone Loss Myth 01:04:31 The Truth About Creatine Supplementation 01:18:48 Menopause Symptoms vs. Aging: What's the Difference? 01:29:24 Menopause Hormone Therapy: Myths and Realities 01:42:25 Concluding Thoughts and Recommendations Ep 8 A Perimenopause Perspective 63: Dismantling Long and Lean Pt 2 108: Does it Have to be Heavy?

    108: Breathing For Bone Density? YogaU Cannot Be Serious

    In this episode of the Movement Logic Podcast, Dr. Sarah Court and Laurel Beversdorf critically evaluate the claims made by YogaU Online about the connections between breathing practices and bone health during a recent promotional webinar for a new workshop called “Breath As Medicine: Yogic Breathing for Vital Aging.” They meticulously analyze research studies cited by YogaU, debunking pseudoscientific assertions about nitric oxide production, VO2 max, and the impact of breathing on bone density. The hosts highlight the ethical implications of such misleading information and emphasize the importance of evidence-based practices in the fitness and yoga communities. The discussion also touches on marketing tactics that prey on the fears of older women, underscoring the need for transparency and integrity in health advice.

    107: Does it Have to be Heavy? Rethinking the Lift Heavy Shit Narrative.

    In this episode of the Movement Logic Podcast, we take a hard look at one of our own core messages and ask: does it have to be heavy to build bone? We unpack a landmark systematic review and meta-analysis that compared more than 100 exercise interventions in postmenopausal women, looking at low, moderate, and high intensities across resistance training, impact, and combined programs. We explain the big picture: resistance training works across intensities, moderate intensity often performs just as well as heavy, and impact-only isn’t the standalone solution it’s often made out to be. We also highlight how few truly high-intensity trials exist, why that matters, and what it means for interpreting the data. Along the way, we reflect on why it’s important to update your message when new evidence emerges, and how this research shifts—not our programming, but our language—around lifting heavy. You’ll come away with a clearer understanding of what actually builds bone, what the science says (and doesn’t yet say), and why there’s more than one effective way to get stronger bones.

    106: Warming Up vs. Cooling Down: What Actually Matters

    In this episode of the Movement Logic Podcast, Laurel unpacks what warm ups actually do—and why cool downs aren’t necessary. She explains how warming up sharpens focus, raises tissue temperature, and primes the nervous system, setting you up to perform better and reduce injury risk. Laurel shares five simple principles for effective warm ups, clears up myths about stretching and “activation,” and contrasts them with cool downs, which don’t aid recovery or prevent soreness.

    105: Strength by Suggestion: the Placebo Effect and Exercise

    In this episode of the Movement Logic Podcast, Dr. Sarah Court explores the fascinating impact of the placebo effect on sports performance and rehabilitation. Dr. Court discusses recent studies, including a unique experiment involving a pink, calorie-free drink that boosted bench press performance among trained lifters. The episode delves into how beliefs and expectations can lead to measurable physiological changes, the historical context of the placebo effect, and its implications in physical therapy and exercise routines. Dr. Court also emphasizes the significance of positive mindsets in overcoming physical challenges and achieving fitness goals. 01:31 The Pink Drink Study: Exploring the Placebo Effect 02:36 Understanding the Placebo Effect 04:03 Historical Context and Research on Placebo 06:02 Detailed Analysis of the Pink Drink Study 10:19 Implications of the Placebo Effect in Exercise 12:08 Placebo Effect in Rehabilitation and Pain Science 14:49 Practical Takeaways for Enhancing Performance 16:49 Mindset and Belief in Physical Therapy 20:25 Encouragement and Final Thoughts Bone Density Course Interest List Sign Up Here Movement Logic on Instagram References:  The placebo effect of a pink non-caloric, artificially sweetened solution on strength endurance performance and psychological responses in trained individuals Mouth Rinsing With a Pink Non-caloric, Artificially-Sweetened Solution Improves Self-Paced Running Performance and Feelings of Pleasure in Habitually Active Individuals The Placebo and Nocebo effect on sports performance: A systematic review Placebo effects on kayak sprint performance in child athletes

    104: Can We Train Fascia?

    In this episode of the Movement Logic Podcast, Laurel explores whether you can train fascia, separating myths from facts about this connective tissue. She discusses her personal journey with fascia-focused methods, including self-massage and Yoga Tune Up, and questions commonly held beliefs about fascia adaptation from exercise. Laurel critiques the metaphorical narratives versus physiological mechanisms, examining the roles of muscle, tendon, and the nervous system in recovery and training. She concludes with insights on why calling it "fascia training" might be more about branding than science. Sign up for our FREE Bone Density Mini Course: Barbell 101!

    103: Do Weighted Vests Do Anything For Us?

    In this episode of the Movement Logic Podcast, Dr. Sarah Court, PT, delves into the trend of walking with weighted vests to improve bone density, especially among perimenopausal and menopausal women. She reviews multiple long-term and short-term studies on the subject, comparing the effectiveness of weighted vests in bone metabolism, bone mineral density, and balance improvement. Sarah argues that while weighted vests do not significantly impact bone density for most people, they could be beneficial for balance and cardiovascular endurance, especially for the deconditioned or frail.  She also discusses the importance of proper exercise regimens like progressive overload and impact training for bone growth. The episode concludes with practical advice on when a weighted vest might be suitable. 00:43 The Weighted Vest Trend in Menopause Marketing 02:38 Debunking the Myths: Evidence on Weighted Vests 06:10 Research Study: Long-term Exercise with Weighted Vests 13:08 Research Study: Walking Exercise with and without Weighted Vests 17:48 Research Study: Short-term Aerobic Exercise with Weighted Vests 23:45 Conclusion: The Real Benefits of Weighted Vests 28:51 Final Thoughts Sign up for our Bone Density Mini Course: Barbell 101!
