Manage episode 445851828 series 2715240
I am honored to connect with Dr. Stacy Sims today. She is a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist on a mission to revolutionize exercise and nutrition performance- particularly for women.
In our conversation, we discuss the exclusion of women from research in the modern science era and how gender differences begin in utero. We look into the importance of tracking our menstrual cycles, the differences between follicular and luteal phases, and problematic ovulatory cycles, exploring the current research on oral contraceptives, the impact of the Women's Health Initiative, and the kind of training that is essential for women in perimenopause and menopause. We also cover the physiologic changes that occur in perimenopause and menopause, and Dr. Sims shares her thoughts on weight loss resistance, SECO, undereating, the importance of protein, and essential supplements for middle-aged women.
I know you will love this invaluable conversation with Dr. Stacy Sims.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:
- Why are women still excluded from many studies?
- How the physiological differences between men and women begin in utero and continue through adulthood
- How stress during pregnancy affects the developing fetus
- How the muscle morphology of women differs from that of men

- How tracking menstrual cycle phases helps women optimize their training
