What We're Still Getting Wrong About Women's Health & Fitness: Dr. Stacy Sims Live
The Rich Roll Podcast
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!
my takeaways
This podcast re-affirmed in many ways what we already knew, but with even more science to back it up.
- Lifting heavy is even more important than we thought especially for women
- Creatine...
- True high intensity is crucial - F45 and anything where you're moving for more than a few minutes at a time is NOT HIIT and is actually bad for you
