That narrative was recently resurfaced in a high-profile review by Tim Noakes — but does it actually hold up when we zoom out? In this episode, I break down the Noakes narrative review, explain what the science does and does not show about fat oxidation, and clarify a critical point that often gets missed: 👉 Fat oxidation improves with training — not carbohydrate restriction. We’ll cover: How ongoing endurance training increases fat oxidation capacity Why carbohydrate availability does not block mitochondrial adaptations How low-carb fueling increases risk for low energy availability (LEA) and RED-S, especially in women Why well-fueled athletes can burn fat and perform better If you’re a runner trying to balance performance, health, and longevity — this episode will help you cut through the noise and fuel with confidence.
