Description
In this episode, Dr. Stacy Sims returns for her fourth appearance on the podcast to share her latest insights into women’s health, performance, and longevity. She clears up common misconceptions about aging and fitness, emphasizing the importance of foundational practices - sleep, nutrition, and consistent training - over chasing advanced supplements or quick fixes.
Dr. Sims highlights the gender differences in exercise research, explains why women need tailored approaches to training, and explores how HIIT, resistance workouts, and structured year-round plans can transform strength and resilience. The discussion also covers gut health, menopause hormone therapy, protein timing, and strategies to keep young girls engaged in sports.
