Train Like A Woman with Dr. Stacy Sims

On today's episode I sit down with one of my personal hero's, Dr. Stacy Sims! We dive deep into fitness, nutrition, and training for women, how and why women should train differently than men, the many benefits to training to help prevent age-related bone density and muscle loss, and so much more. This is a juicy episode, enjoy!
Dr. Stacy Sims MSC, PHD, is a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who aims to revolutionize exercise nutrition and performance for women.

She has directed research programs at Stanford, AUT University, and the University of Waikato, focusing on female athlete health and performance and pushing the dogma to improve research on all women.

With the unique opportunities Silicon Valley has to offer, during her tenure at Stanford, she had the opportunity to translate earlier research into consumer products and a science-based layperson's book (ROAR) written to explain sex differences in training and nutrition across the lifespan. Both the consumer products and the book challenged the existing dogma for women in exercise, nutrition, and health. This paradigm shift is the focus of her famous "Women Are Not Small Men” TEDx talk.

Her contributions to the international research environment and the sports nutrition industry have established a new niche in sports nutrition and established her reputation as the expert in sex differences in training, nutrition, and health.
