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.  What We Discuss:  02:58 Understanding Women's Physiology 06:00 The Importance of Tailored Training for Women 10:08 Injury Risks and Biomechanics in Women 14:02 Navigating Perimenopause and Menopause 19:54 Effective Training Strategies for Women 25:03 The Role of High-Intensity Training 29:58 Jump Training and Bone Health 35:15 Understanding Ground Reaction Forces 35:43 Fasting and Women's Health 38:38 Hormonal Sensitivity and Nutrition 40:24 Protein Needs for Women 42:13 Plant-Based Protein Sources 45:38 Essential Supplements for Women's Health 49:41 Peptides and Their Efficacy 50:58 The Ozempic Craze 54:17 Microdosing and Inflammation 56:20 Training Across Different Life Stages 01:01:55 Underrated and Overrated Health Tips 01:03:40 Saunas vs. Cold Therapy …and more!

New Zealand's AUT University recently celebrated 206 school leavers who completed the university's preparation programme 'UniPrep'.

A few years ago, commentators and analysts often raised the idea of a ‘youthquake’ - young, first-time voters coming in and shaking up the political landscape. It was after events like the School Strikes 4 Climate showed the power of youth mobilising around a common goal. Yet those youthquakes never happened – at least, not for left-leaning politicians. Instead, there’s been a shift to more conservative views among our youngest voters – and a yearning for the quote ‘good old days’ has seen trends like ‘trad wives’ and a ‘return to traditional family values’ skyrocket online. It’s all while a recent UK survey found that 52 percent of 13- to 27-year-olds believe their country would be better with a “strong leader who does not have to bother with parliament and elections”. Today on The Front Page, to discuss what’s shaping the youth of today, we’re joined by AUT University senior lecturer in Communication Studies, Christina Vogels.

They explore the importance of maintaining a positive mindset during injuries and dive into broader societal issues, including community responsibility, shifting political landscapes in health and nutrition, and the role of leaders like RFK Jr. and Elon Musk in shaping policy and vision. They discuss the evolution of education systems, the potential of AI in healthcare, and the balance between human interaction and technology in solving complex health problems, all while highlighting the value of political discourse, societal progress, and health awareness.Grant Schofield is the Professor of Public Health at Auckland University of Technology, Director of the University's Human Potential Centre, former Chief Scientific Adviser to the Ministry of Education in New Zealand, co-author of four best-selling books and Chief Science Officer for PREKURE.Professor Grant's career has focused on preventing the diseases of modern times, and seeing what it takes to help people live a long, healthy and happy life.He lives and breathes the motto “be the best you can be”, and sees this as a game-changer for the health system – capable of transforming the current health (sickness) model, to one in which we aspire to be well. He is redefining public health as the science of human potential; the study of what it takes to have a great life.Grant is well known for thinking outside the box and challenging conventional wisdom in nutrition and weight loss, as well as physical activity and exercise.He brings his fluency across several scientific disciplines – from human physiology, to psychology, to peak performance – to his role at PREKURE, where he delivers world class training in lifestyle medicineGrant's What the Fat books can be sourced here: https://profgrant.com/books/You can find Grant through the following avenues.Grant Schofield Blog: https://profgrant.com/Human Potential Centre, AUT University: https://humanpotentialcentre.aut.ac.nz/Pre Kure https://prekure.com/ Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

While The Front Page is on summer break, we’re taking a look back at some of the biggest news stories and top-rated episodes from the podcast in 2024. June 20 this year marked 30 years since five members of the Bain family in Dunedin were found dead in their family home. The one survivor, David, would be convicted of murdering his parents and three siblings. He served 13 years in prison before the Privy Council quashed his convictions, and he was found not guilty on all charges at a retrial in 2009. For the anniversary in June, we spoke to long-time Bain advocate Joe Karam for an exclusive chat reflecting on his three decades linked to the case, as well as exploring our obsession with the case with AUT University’s Professor of Pop Culture, Dr Lorna Piatti-Farnell. New episodes return January 13th. Host: Chelsea Daniels Audio Engineers: Paddy Fox, Richard Martin Executive Producer: Ethan Sills See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr Gareth Sandford has a consulting business that helps Olympic, Pro & College coaches with individualized conditioning. Recent consulting clients include: Manchester City Football Club (EPL), England Football Association (International Football), Australian Institute of Sport (Olympic/Paralympic Sport), Melbourne Football Club (AFL), Kerry GAA (Gaelic Football). Prior to this, Gareth has worked for 14+ years across individual and team sports within three Olympic and Paralympic systems (UK, New Zealand and Canada) and three professional sports leagues (English Football, Cricket and Rugby), supporting over 450 athletes that achieved 23 Olympic, Paralympic and World Championship medals, and one world record. He was also scientific lead for the Canadian Olympic marathon and race-walk athletes at the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games. He holds a PhD in sport physiology and running performance from the Sport Performance Research Institute at AUT University in New Zealand and a ‘mini' MBA from Simon Fraser University in science innovation and technology commercialisation. QUOTES “There are a number of things that we should be looking for. The first thing is the athlete profile. So that is where all your sub-disciplines come in, from a medical standpoint, what are we talking about? From a biomechanical, psychological standpoint, which type of personality are we dealing with? From a physiological standpoint, are we talking about a speed profile, hybrid or endurance profile?” “So a common question you hear often is should conditioning be more sport specific or should it be more targeting the physical capacities underpinning the sport? But the reality of the matter is that physiology exists, whichever sport you're playing.” “It is a very rare occasion in a team sport where you are short on the sport-specific exposure of chemistry” “Sprinting speed is scaffolding for team sports. We can't build it and then let it go, because if we let it go, then the percentage we're working at when running goes up” “The three metrics alongside team sport key training metrics I'm looking at are where's the sprinting speed? where's the MAS? where's the critical speed?” “Athletes need to be exposed to all the stimulus, from low intensity to sprinting speed, probably for 18 months, two years at the low end, for us to be confident, this is the type of profile an athlete is.” “The key metric for low and moderate intensity work is the effort, the internal effort, not the external speed and the answer is whatever speed elicits a five or six out of 10 feeling” SHOWNOTES 1) Gareth's exploration of the anaerobic speed reserve which has taken him from the UK to NZ to Canada 2) The framework for conditioning and importance of athlete profiling 3) The relevance of middle-distance track events and their training for field sports 4) Getting a clear characterization of what is happening in technical-tactical training sessions and unlearning “classical” physiology 5) Assessing the anaerobic speed reserve in athletes and the practical application of profiling 6) The interplay between critical speed and maximal aerobic speed or velocity VO2max and Gareth's preferences for measuring both 7) How to use the ASR ratio as a screen of “spread” and benchmarking sprint and endurance physiology 8) Principles versus models and the value of holding principles as loosely as possible until you understand exactly what type of athlete you are dealing with PEOPLE MENTIONED Peter Weyand Phil Bellinger Veronica Billat Phil Scott

Dr. Stacy Sims, MSC, PHD, is a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who aims to revolutionize exercise nutrition and performance for women. She has directed research programs at Stanford, AUT University, and the University of Waikato, focusing on female athlete health and performance and pushing the dogma to improve research on all women. She is the author of the book ROAR, written to explain sex differences in training and nutrition across the lifespan.  This book challenges the dogma for women in exercise, nutrition, and health and this paradigm shift is the focus of her famous TED Talk "Women Are Not Small Men”. Her latest book is called Next Level and is focused on crushing goals through menopause and beyond. Dr. Sims has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers and several books and is a regularly featured speaker at professional and academic conferences.  The lack of research on women's performance and nutrition has negatively affected women's health for generations, but Stacy is on a mission to change that. She and I explore the sex differences in hormones as they relate to performance and how menstrual cycles can be used to a woman's health benefit as an ergogenic aid. She offers recommendations for performance, supplements, nutrition, and recovery in both the follicular luteal phases and highlights the impact of hormonal changes on performance during perimenopause and postmenopause. We touch on supplements, intermittent fasting, and practitioner guidelines for guiding patients through life with confidence in their ability to lift weights, train effectively, and navigate every stage of reproduction with empowering knowledge and confidence.   I'm your host, Evelyne Lambrecht, thank you for designing a well world with us.   Episode Resources: Dr. Stacy Sims - https://www.drstacysims.com/ Design for Health Resources: Designs for Health - https://www.designsforhealth.com/ Designs for Health Practitioner Exclusive Drug Nutrient Depletion and Interaction Checker - https://www.designsforhealth.com/drug-nutrient-interaction/ Visit the Designs for Health Research and Education Library which houses medical journals, protocols, webinars, and our blog. https://www.designsforhealth.com/research-and-education/education Chapters: 00:00 Intro. 04:07 Why has there been so little research on women in the medical field, specifically in nutrition and exercise physiology? 07:00 Implications of the lack of research in women's performance and nutrition. 08:38 Sex differences in hormones as they relate to performance. 13:00 Stacy's ideal research study would be a transdisciplinary effort that incorporates a wide variety of testing for women. 16:20 Menstrual cycles can be used to a woman's health benefit as an ergogenic aid. 20:17 Recommendations for performance, supplements, nutrition, and recovery in the follicular phase. 23:55 Stacy's dietary recommendations for athletes that meet appropriate nutrition for the training. 26:40 Protein and carbohydrate intake guidelines during the luteal phase. 30:01 Current research on oral contraceptives and performance. 33:51 The impact of hormonal changes on performance during perimenopause and postmenopause. 38:45 Heavy weight lifting recommendations for whole life health and performance. 43:39 Training, nutrition, and supplement recommendation differences during perimenopause and menopause. 45:58 Tactics for practitioners to support patients in invoking effective change in sleep hygiene and physical training to increase mobility. 51:15 Creatine and other supplement recommendations for women. 54:30 Iron, estrogen, and testosterone in perimenopausal women. 55:55 Stacy's supplement recommendations include adaptogens based on scientific research. 59:22 Intermittent fasting in women is an easy no for most women. 1:03:33 Stacy's personal daily supplements, favorite health practices, and the ideas she has changed her mind about in recent years. 1:08:05 What Stacy wishes for her daughter as she grows up as an empowered woman.

On this episode Coach Nick and Coach Amanda are joined by Dr. Stacy Sims, a female athlete performance physiologist, to discuss the physiological differences in training and nutrition for women, particularly during perimenopause. In this episode the three talk about how training, fueling and recovery needs are all different in women vs men especially when it comes to perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Sims and Coach Amanda emphasize the importance of lifting heavy weights for women, as estrogen is responsible for muscle growth and strength. The three also highlights the benefits of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and sprint interval training (SIT) for women's insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial function, and fat metabolism. They discuss deload weeks, proper nutrition, sleep and some of the gender differences. Lastly they discuss Low Energy Availability and issues surrounding it and Dr. Stacy Sims answers a couple interview style questions to close out the episode. ---------------------------------------- (00:00) Introduction and Overview (02:37) Understanding the Impact of Perimenopause on Physical Fitness (10:15) The Importance of Lifting Heavy Weights for Women (18:18) The Benefits of High-Intensity Interval Training for Women (24:21) The Role of Recovery in Preventing Injuries and Optimizing Performance (28:41) Moving Beyond Zone Two Training: The Power of Polarized Training (38:38) Supplementation for Para-Menopausal and Menopausal Women (45:35) Pre-Fueling and Carbohydrate Intake During Exercise (50:56) The Dangers of Low Energy Availability (54:22) Interview Questions -------------------------------------- STACY T.

Angela is joined by Stacy Sims, who discusses the updated science and recommendations for women's health and fitness, specifically focusing on the menstrual cycle, perimenopause, and postmenopause. She highlights the importance of adapting exercise and training strategies to accommodate the changes in hormone levels and body composition during these stages. Stacey emphasises the need for a personalized approach, taking into account individual experiences and tracking of the menstrual cycle. She also discusses the benefits of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and sprint interval training (SIT) for women, as well as the importance of resistance training KEY TAKEAWAYS Hormone therapy, also known as menopause hormone therapy, is a tool that can help mitigate symptoms of menopause, such as mood swings, sleep issues, and vasomotor symptoms. However, it does not replace the need for lifestyle changes to improve body composition and overall health. Women in perimenopause and postmenopause should focus on high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and sprint interval training (SIT) to stimulate glycolytic activity and enhance mitochondrial health. T his type of training can be done through various exercises, such as running, cycling, rowing, or plyometric movements. Resistance training, particularly power-based exercises like deadlifts, squats, and shoulder presses, should be a consistent part of a woman's exercise routine. Periodizing resistance training can help target specific muscle groups and prevent boredom. Supplements like black currant juice concentrate, tart cherry juice, creatine, omega-3s, and vitamin D can be beneficial for women's health. BEST MOMENTS "We have to look at getting some more oxidative capacity. So that's when zone two might come in handy” "So when we're looking at mitochondria and function, that is all about that high-intensity glycolytic stuff that we're women don't have a lot of so then it causes an up regulation of the Transport mechanisms “ "We have two weeks of focus training and then one week of full recovery. And in that recovery week, this is your mobility” "If you're doing two weeks on one week off, or you're doing three weeks on one week off or whatever it is, you have a six week focus of maybe deadlift or all posterior chain."

Forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist Dr. Stacy Sims, MSc, PhD joins the show today for a wide-ranging conversation about fueling, hydration, and optimizing performance for female endurance athletes! In this episode, we cover... Getting past focusing on weight loss and body recomposition as "the magic solution" The issues with intermittent fasting for female athletes What about utilizing low carbohydrate diets to force an increase in using fatty acids for fuel (i.e. fat burning or "fat adaptation") The problem with "cycle syncing" training programs How funding for research works and potential issues with bias; do we need to be concerned about WHO is funding research? Should you be worried about "becoming reliant" on carbohydrates for fuel when you run? Different forms of carbohydrate: let's talk about fructose, sucrose, glucose, performance fuel products, and more How does dehydration affect performance for women vs men? Figuring out your hydration needs Current research Dr. Sims is most excited about And more! This episode is sponsored by Previnex!

If there is one person I trust with my nutrition and supplementation, it's Robb Wolf. LMNT is a tasty electrolyte drink mix with everything you need and nothing you don't. That means a science-backed electrolyte ratio – with none of the junk. No sugar. No coloring. No artificial ingredients. No gluten. No fillers. No BS. The benefits are numerous, but here's a few to wet your whistle... ​ Prevent and eliminate headaches, muscle cramps, fatigue, sleeplessness, and other common symptoms of electrolyte deficiency Boost performance and recovery. Electrolytes facilitate hundreds of functions in the body, including the conduction of nerve impulses, hormonal regulation, nutrient absorption, and fluid balance Support a low-carb lifestyle by preventing, mitigating, and eliminating the “low carb/keto flu” Support healthy fasting. LMNT replaces electrolytes without breaking a fast ​ Personally, I'm a big fan of intermittent fasting and drinking LMNT daily during my fasting hours provides noticeable improvements in energy, focus, and gut function. Most of all, it helps me drink more water throughout the day and that's never a bad thing (it also mixes well in a cocktail, but you didn't hear that from me).   The Ultimate Plan tests up to 43 blood biomarkers—including glucose, cholesterol, cortisol, and hemoglobin—for a complete and holistic analysis of your health.

Today on the show , I'm winding the clock back to May 2020 when I sat down with my good friend Samuel McKenzie.  In 2019, Sam completed his Master's degree at AUT University focusing on 1st XV rugby players' perceptions of their coaching environment. Sam's research findings have had a huge impact on the way I think about environments for developing skilled, creative and resilient athletes and so, heading into the winter season, I thought I'd share our conversation again. Sam now works as a coach developer in the talent pathway for the AFL. We pick the conversation up hearing Sam talk about how experiencing some of the darker side of sport drives the work that he loves today.

Optimal nutrition is different from person to person, and even moreso from sex to sex. Men and women have many physiological differences that can truly change how to approach your health and fitness. Are cold plunges good for men and women? What about saunas? Dr. Stacy Sims - a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist - is the guest of todays episode, and we explore the physiological differences between male and female bodies and reveal how you can optimize your nutrition and training based on your unique needs. We dive deep into specific vitamins and minerals, the difference in heat retention and how that affects health, and we discuss whether some biohacking methods - like cold plunges and saunas - are more optimal for one sex. Stacy Sims has directed research programs at Stanford, AUT University, and the University of Waikato, focusing on female athlete health and performance and pushing the dogma to improve research on all women.

Many women dont realize that as we age, our training and fueling routines need to change with us. But how do we do this when there are so many nutrition trends out there that are so easy to get sucked into? The answer is in this 2 part episode where we dive into the research beyond how to fuel and move your body in peri-menopause, menopause, and beyond. Key Takeaways If You Are Looking to Change Your Training Routine as You Enter Your 40s, You Should: Remember that women are not small men and most guidelines out there need to be adjusted for your changing body Drop the moderate intensity crap and focus on high-intensity speed and power to see the results you want Take a step back to re-learn the difference between being tired from exercise or tired from stress Women Are Not Small Men with Dr. Stacy Sims Stacy T. Sims, Ph.D., is an applied researcher, innovator, and entrepreneur in human performance, specifically sex differences in training, nutrition, and environmental conditions. She is a regularly featured speaker at professional and academic conferences, including those hosted by US Olympic Committee, High-Performance Sport NZ, and USA Cycling, she is a Senior Research Associate at AUT University and resides at the beach in Mt. Maunganui, New Zealand with her husband and young daughter. Listen To Your Body and the Research When a woman enters her 40s, her body composition starts to change. Many people associate the symptoms of these changes with low sleep, high stress, and try to do more training to counter it. None of these are the appropriate types of stress that your body needs in order to mitigate these changes. Women need specific changes to their training routine, along with nutrition, to support their bodies throughout their 40s and beyond. Proper sleep, high-intensity workouts, and polarizing your training in order to recover are key. Change Is a Good Thing Often as women are approaching peri-menopause they are nervous about getting bulky or are told to switch to moderate intensity workouts. Dr. Stacy is here to say that is absolutely not the case. Physiologically women respond better to speed and power, and if anything we should be increasing the intensity of our workouts when we can, and bookending them with softer workouts for our recovery. This is just one example of the necessary ways you need to change your training routine in order to support your changing body and hormones. Are you excited for Part 2 of Dr. Stacy Sims' knowledge and experience? Share which of her tips you loved most from this episode with me in the comments section of the episode page. In This Episode Why the phases of your menstrual cycle should impact how you train (11:35) Some of the changes that you can expect to see when entering peri-menopause (14:49) How to shift the way that you strength train as you enter your 40s and beyond (18:42) Why the ‘moderate intensity' for women in their 40's is the exact opposite of what you should be doing (26:22) Tips for changing up your training and eating routine in order to stress your body and see results (33:52) Quotes “They attribute it to life stress, but it's not. Well, some of it is life stress of course. But when we pull it back to physiology and we see this change over these ratios, and our bodies are also trying to adjust.” (16:26) “What we are trying to do when we get into our 40s is look for an external stress that is going to help support what the hormones used to do, or augment what the hormones can do.” (19:55) “You need to work with someone who knows how to do proper movement.” (23:26) “We don't know what it is like to be uncomfortable. We have air-conditioned houses, we have heating in the winter, we go outside in the summer, and we don't know what it truly means to be uncomfortable, so our bodies never adapt.” (32:05) “We are really trying to get people to understand what it feels like, and teach themselves because we have lost that. We have lost what it feels like to be tired from physical activity, versus being tired from stress. So we are trying to teach that.” (37:41) Featured on the Show Join the Strength Nutrition Unlocked Group Coaching Program Here Next Level: Your Guide to Kicking Ass, Feeling Great, and Crushing Goals Through Menopause and Beyond with Dr. Stacy Sims Women Are Not Small Men TED Talk Check out the full show notes here!

Menopause is not the end of the line. It is not a “deficiency.” It's a transition to the next phase of your life–a phase that can be positive, empowering, and powerful. But first, we need to understand what menopause really is; what is happening hormonally during this time, and how it is affecting literally every cell in our bodies. That's where Dr. Stacy Sims and her upcoming book Next Level: Your Guide to Kicking Ass, Feeling Great, and Crushing Goals through Menopause and Beyond comes in. Next Level shines a light on every aspect of menopause and helps performance-minded women work with their changing physiology to optimize performance. We talk about Stacy's goals for this book to create an active, positive menopause movement and how we can all foster an empowering culture so menopausal women can keep stepping up to starting lines, trying new things, and thriving in their lives.   Stacy T Sims, Ph.D., is an international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who aims to revolutionize exercise nutrition and performance for women. She has directed research programs at Stanford, AUT University, and the University of Waikato, focusing on female athlete health and performance.

“If a woman can understand how she feels on different days her cycle, then she can start dialing and being more personalized with her training. When the hormones are low, this is where women have more power, more speed, recover better, have more “mojo” because they have less central nervous system fatigue. Around ovulation, with that boost of estrogen, some women feel bulletproof and other women feel a little bit flat, and then a couple days later they'll feel bulletproof, so, understanding that as well. And then when you get into the high hormone phase, with estrogen and progesterone being the highest, this is where we want women to deload more, where they're working functional technique and they're not doing too much high intensity, they're not trying to do top-end VO2 work because physiologically you're fighting your body because there's so many different metabolic and thermoregulatory and metabolic shifts that happen with the hormones. It's really hard to do that high, high intensity in the high hormone phase.” - Dr. Stacy Sims In the words of Stacy Sims, Ph.D, women are not small men.  Dr. Sims is an applied researcher, innovator, and entrepreneur in human performance, specifically sex differences in training, nutrition, and environmental conditions.   She is dedicated to educating women so that they can use their natural cycle to their advantage and train with their physiology, not against it.
