Are women training the wrong way? 

Should you really fear lifting weights? 

How much protein do you actually need? 

And what's the truth about Ozempic?

In this episode of The Masoom Minawala Show, I sit down with renowned strength and conditioning coach Sohrab Khushrushahi for one of our most eye-opening conversations on women's fitness, strength training, nutrition, and long-term health.

For years, we've been told to eat less, do more cardio, and chase the number on the scale. But what if the real goal isn't to become smaller, it's to become stronger?

Sohrab breaks down the biggest fitness myths keeping women away from strength training, explains why muscle is one of the most important indicators of long-term health, and shares practical advice on building a body that supports you through every stage of life.

In this episode, we spoke about:

• Why strength training is essential for every woman—not just athletes

• The biggest myths about cardio, weight loss, and getting ”bulky”

• How much protein you actually need and whether too much protein is bad for your kidneys

• Why carbs are not the enemy and how to build a balanced diet

• The truth about protein powders and common nutrition myths

• Whether sports like Padel can replace strength training

• Fitness during pregnancy and how to exercise safely

• The role of muscle in metabolism, healthy aging, and longevity

• Sohrab's honest take on Ozempic and weight-loss drugs

• Why consistency matters more than intensity when it comes to fitness

• How to build sustainable workout habits you'll actually enjoy

• The mindset shift from training to look better to training to live better

Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or looking to train smarter, this episode will change the way you think about movement, nutrition, and building a stronger, healthier body.
