Dr. Stacy Sims’ Guide to Fitness and Nutrition after 40

Video Description

Are you a woman over 40 and want to learn how to build and maintain muscle and strength as you age. We often receive conflicting advice and it can be confusing! Many of us notice it becomes harder as we age and belly fat creeps on! Dr. Stacy Sims is an internationally renowned exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist. She has directed research programs at Stanford University focusing on female athlete health and performance and published over 100 peer-reviewed papers and several books including the popular “Next Level: Your Guide to Kicking Ass, Feeling Great, and Crushing Goals Through Menopause and Beyond.” This interview took place live at the Institute for Functional Medicine Annual International Conference (AIC) in Las Vegas. We learn: - Why it becomes SO hard to maintain body composition as we age (it involves estrogen!) - What specific exercises will build muscle and strength for women over 40 - Tips for women who have NEVER lifted weights before - How cardio routines need to change after 40 - All about SIT and HIIT and why they are necessary to shred fat as you age - What actually works to build bone and prevent loss (we were surprised on this one!) - How much protein is necessary to stimulate muscle - The best diet and eating patterns for women over 40 Connect with Dr. Sims: https://www.instagram.com/drstacysims https://www.drstacysims.com/ Resources mentioned in the show: https://thebettyrocker.com/ https://www.instagram.com/haileyhappensfitness/ Checkout our previous Podcast ( Functional Medicine) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJhfs-w7_xI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFUXnJ1gR4E&t=3s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU-n8wy3J5w&t=0s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OVJv9arF74&t=40s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bpfxy2u98LQ&t=0s https://youtu.be/BYQA1osrDnk Medical Disclaimer The Functional Moms Podcast provides information for educational and informational purposes only.
