About

Hi, Iโ€™m Dr. Stacy Sims! Welcome to my official YouTube channel. My vision is a world of healthy women who understand their bodies, know how to work with their unique physiology, know their periods are ergogenic aids and create positivity around being a woman in sport. Together we can shift the destructive narrative and elevate women in research, science, and sport.

Video Description

Are carbs really bad for you, or have we been misled? In this conversation with Dr. Stephanie Estima, we uncover the truth about how carbohydrates impact gut health, blood sugar, hormones, and energy. Learn why colorful fruits, veggies, ancient grains, and even sourdough bread can actually support your microbiome and performance. Weโ€™ll also explore essential supplements for women across reproductive, perimenopause, and postmenopause years, from creatine to vitamin D and omega-3s. If youโ€™ve ever feared carbs, this conversation is for you. Watch the FULL video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJdJHpxl-Gk Want to go deeper?
