What We're Still Getting Wrong About Women's Health & Fitness: Dr. Stacy Sims Live

Dr. Stacy Sims is an exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist whose mantra – "women are not small men" – has reshaped how women approach their health. Recorded live with a studio audience, we challenge the conventional wisdom around fasting, cardio, and calorie restriction. In its place, a playbook calibrated for female physiology – heavy lifting, fed-state training, circadian eating, and a new relationship with perimenopause. Stacy is a force. Enjoy!
