Stop Training Like A Man: How To Optimize Your Routine For How Your Body ACTUALLY Works | Ep 32

October 13, 2026 · 24 min

Show notes

Most fitness and productivity advice is built on research done on men, and ambitious women follow it without questioning whether it works for their biology. If you have been waking up early, pushing through exhaustion, and matching someone else's intensity while feeling worse than ever, this episode explains why.


Mason and Audrey, fitness coaches and founders of Metabolic Makeover Academy, break down how Audrey spent three years copying Mason's 4am wake-ups, cold plunges, and high-intensity schedule before realizing it was destroying her energy, nervous system, and body composition. They compare what each of them actually needs to perform at their best and why women's hormonal cycles, nervous system regulation, and recovery demands require a fundamentally different approach. Built for career-driven women who are doing everything "right" and still feeling stuck.
