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

Youโ€™ve heard HIIT is good. But what kind? For how long? And why does it work differently for women in perimenopause? Dr. Stacy Sims breaks down the difference between REAL high-intensity interval training and the fatigue-based workouts that raise cortisol and stall results. Is 30 seconds of workout enough? Whatโ€™s the best post-lifting finisher? And how do you build intensity without burnout? Watch the Full Video here: https://youtu.be/DU4V5OpLp3s?si=Pdk-R9egE7hQJ5UY Want to go deeper?
