Duration: 151 min

Dr. Lauren Anton, a PhD in integrative physiology and certified strength and conditioning specialist, joins Huberman Lab to challenge fitness industry marketing claiming women need sex-specific training programs, presenting evidence that men and women respond nearly identically to resistance training in muscle protein synthesis and hypertrophy.
