Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones

Video Description

Ever wonder why your fitness routine doesn't yield the same results as your male workout partner's? In this episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, I talk with exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist Dr. Stacy Sims, as she reveals that women's bodies respond completely differently to exercise due to our unique physiology. We dive into the importance of tailored training protocols for women, especially during different life stages such as puberty, perimenopause, and menopause. We also discuss essential supplements, the implications of using Ozempic for weight loss, the benefits of exercise over pharmaceutical interventions, and underrated health tips. Dr. Stacy Sims is a forward-thinking exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist with an MSc and PhD who specializes in female-specific training, nutrition, and health. Named one of the top visionaries in the running industry and featured as one of the top women changing the paradigm of her field by Outside Magazine, she is the author of the groundbreaking book ROAR and creator of the "Women Are Not Small Men" philosophy. Dr. Sims has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers, directed research programs at Stanford, AUT University, and the University of Waikato, and continues to advocate for women's health through her courses, speaking engagements, and research.
