Wanna know the ONE thing that's made a profound and positive shift in my mental energy?  In this episode, I'll be sharing my top longevity hack that's EASY for any woman in midlife to implement.  I know there's no one busier than a midlife woman. From careers to caregiving, household responsibilities, and MORE… all while we deal with the emotional and physical whirlwind of menopausal hormonal changes.  And along with navigating the chaos of our day-to-day, these declining hormones lead to us losing bone mass, metabolic resilience, and mitochondrial function.  But the beautiful thing about combating these changes in midlife?  You don't have to rearrange your schedule! Seriously, this simple exercise hack is a complete game changer for me and my health, and I can't wait to share it with you here!  IN THIS EPISODE Navigating midlife hormonal changes and a busy schedule  My top tip for easily boosting your energy WITHOUT burnout  The benefits of quick exercise on your overall health  Prioritizing consistency over intensity  The research and science behind short bursts of exercise  My favorite kinds of “exercise snacks” and how you can easily incorporate them into your routine!   QUOTES “Midlife is the most critical time to move our bodies. This is when our metabolism starts to slow, and our insulin sensitivity declines. We begin to lose precious muscle mass at a relatively steady rate.” “The ultimate longevity hack is moving our body as much as possible throughout the day, not just the one big workout.”  “Honestly, nowhere is off limits for intentionally building my life around movement.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Connect with me on Instagram!  DrMariza.com Check out my other podcasts  Skin longevity made simple: Head to oneskin.co/ENERGIZED and use code ENERGIZED.

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah are joined by internationally renowned exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist Dr Stacy Sims — a trailblazer on a mission to revolutionise how women train, eat, and perform. Known for her viral TED Talk “Women Are Not Small Men”, bestselling book Roar, and over 100 peer-reviewed papers, Stacy has dedicated her career to closing the gender gap in sports science. In this conversation, she dives into the often-overlooked physiological and emotional challenges girls face during puberty — challenges that are too often misunderstood or ignored, causing many to lose confidence and drop out of sport. With her new course NEXT GEN, Stacy is focused on educating coaches and parents to better support developing girls. She explores how puberty impacts performance, confidence, and injury risk, and why it’s crucial to rethink how we train and talk to our daughters. From the damaging effects of language like “girl pushups” and “sissy squats,” to the ripple effects of diet culture and uniform design, Stacy highlights the changes we need to make — and how to do it. This episode is a rallying cry to shift the culture around girls’ health, sport, and self-image — and to give them the tools, language, and support they deserve.

  "With the right training, nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and the power of the mind, women in their fifties and beyond can still [accomplish amazing feats] . . . women prove every day that our best years can be ahead of us no matter how old we are now . . . you've accumulated hard-earned wisdom and power over the years. You're higher on the totem pole of life. There are countless opportunities that lie ahead." —Dr. Stacy Sims, phD, International exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist The beautiful gift of stepping into another year of life is that we have the opportunity, but not the promise, to enjoy the application of wisdom learned along the way. As someone who lives with awareness and pays attention to the reality of life, we know that our bodies need to be taken care of properly so that they can take care of us. Knowing how our bodies change as we age is crucial to knowing how to give it the care it needs for optimal quality of living. Which brings me to a reality that Dr. Stacy T. Sims, an exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist, pointed out in a recent interview on The Mel Robbins podcast (listen here), the majority, and arguably supermajority of all fitness studies and how the body responds to exercise for weight loss and strength building has been done with men as their test subjects, and the few studies that did involve women, were women who were pre-menopausal age. In fact, she points out in her latest book Next Level: Your Guide to Kicking Ass, Feeling Great, and Crushing Goals Through Menopause that in a 2019 study published by the Mayo Clinic Proceedings "found that of 177 resident physicians in family medicine, internal medicine, and even obstetrics/gynecology who were surveyed, 20 percent received zero lectures on menopause during their training. Fewer than 7 percent reported feeling prepared to help manage the care of women through their menopausal years." However, thankfully, awareness and discussion and knowledge are being more readily shared thanks to many high profile individuals - Michelle Obama, Oprah, Naomi Watts, Halle Berry, Katie Couric, Maria Shriver and more. What is most important is understanding what we can do and how it will benefit us not only in the short-term but in the long-term. And as someone who has been active all of my life, and now am at the age of 46, I began to realize I need to learn more about what I can do to keep my body strong, reduce the symptoms and continue to enjoy working out while seeing results. That is why I was thrilled to be introduced to Dr. Stacy Sims, and I have a long-time TSLL reader and member to thank for this - Janet M. Janet sent me the link to the Mel Robbin's podcast episode with Dr. Stacy Sims that essentially just blasts so many myths out of the water about how to eat, workout and think about what we do to ourselves as women as we step into the perimenopausal and then postmenopausal period of our life, which is the rest of our life - we think we need to eat less and work out more and the exact opposite is true. I cannot tell you how refreshing, validating and inspiring that episode was, so I encourage you to listen to it so you can meet Dr. Stacy Sims and get an introduction to what we're going to talk about today and why I highly recommend picking up her latest book Next Level. With all of that said, I have simultaneously been reading a book about how to strengthen our memory to do all that we can, whatever our age, to prevent dementia and Alzheimer's, and what I discovered, which will not likely surprise you, is that so much of what we can do for our physical health that will also benefit our brain health and strong memory. So today's episode is the episode that will share with you 17 specific life habits, practices and approaches to keep both your body and mind healthy for the rest of our lives, specifically dedicated to women as we move through perimenopause, then menopause (which is essentially one day), and the postmenopause which will be for the rest of our lives. Why not discover how to thrive and enjoy this awesome time of our lives because as a favorite quote of my shares, "The climax of the story always occurs in the second act. It's the best part." as written for the dramatized show Julia about Julia Child. The other reason I wanted to bring this episode to you is because the more we talk about and celebrate and model how to live amazingly through this inevitable change, we destigmatize what has been for centuries seen as a negative along the journey of womanhood. No longer! And that can only change with women - the words we use, how we talk about it, how we live, etc. The mindset we bring, the attitude, the wisdom, the support, it will all make a powerful difference that not only will help each of us, but those around us and those who will arrive into the latter half of their life after us undaunted and eager to do so because of the women who came before who refused to be seen as less-than or a incapable of achieving amazing things. ~Find the Show Notes on The Simply Luxurious Life blog — https://thesimplyluxuriouslife.com/podcast402

It seem's like we can find conflicting information in everything.  Politics, for sure. Health, for sure. Parenting.  Education.  You name it.  So how in the world are we supposed to navigate all of that? How in the world are we to know who's right and who's wrong? It feels like we are in the weeds a lot of the time! Sorting and just looking for the “right” answer! One quote said, "I'm more confused than a chameleon in a bag of Skittles!" We live in a world where we can have access to information anywhere, anytime, and on any topic! However, this can be troubling because there is just too much! For example, when I walk into a store with too many items, I get completely overwhelmed! In today's podcast,  we are going to discuss how to get answers when there are opposing ideas.   First, consider your source. Second, look for evidence. And Third, experiment. Listen in for more details to see if you can find some answers to your opposing ideas!   The Body Reset: How Women Should Eat & Exercise for Health, Fat Loss, & Energy | Dr. Stacy Sims

Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #317! On this podcast, we will be diving into all things women's hormones to help you learn how to live in alignment with your female physiology. Too many women are living with their check engine lights flashing. You know you feel “off” but no matter what you do, you can't seem to have the energy, or lose the weight, or feel your best. This podcast exists to shed light on the important topic of healthy hormones and cycle syncing, to help you gain maximum energy in your life.  In today's episode, I dive into whether or not there is a "faster way" to losing weight. I dive into common questions I get regarding carb cycling, fasting, and more, and whether those things are good for female physiology.  I reference Dr. Stacy Sims and her research on this in multiple instances. You can learn more via Sims' blog found here. Dr. Sims also has several articles published via PubMed on the subject of female athletes. If you're a woman who trains, you're an athlete, so this research is most relevant!

Today's episode is a MUST listen. You will learn the surprising science of women's exercise and nutrition, the mistakes you're making, and the simple changes that lead to better health and longevity. For way too long, fitness and nutrition have been based on research done almost exclusively on men, and the women who have been following those strategies are left wondering why the fitness and nutrition guidelines don't work for their bodies. That changes today. In this firecracker of an episode, Mel sits down with Dr. Stacy Sims, a world-renowned exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist, to break down exactly how you, as a woman, should be eating, training, and recovering for your hormones, metabolism, and overall health.Dr. Sims reveals why traditional fitness advice is failing women. She talks about how intermittent fasting drains your energy and why your workouts leave you exhausted instead of strong. She explains why fasted workouts, calorie restriction, and extreme cardio can actually make it harder to lose weight and what you should be doing instead to build muscle, burn fat, and feel amazing at every stage of life.Ever wonder why men seem to drop weight faster than you? Or why your workouts feel great one week and awful the next? There's a reason for that. Dr. Sims will tell you, it's all in your hormones.Inside this episode, you'll learn:-Why women should NEVER train like men (and what to do instead)-The #1 mistake you're making in the gym—and how to fix it-The truth about fasted workouts (spoiler: they might be wrecking your metabolism)-Why eating too little could be making you gain fat—not lose it-How to work with your cycle for better energy, results, and recovery-What every woman needs to know about perimenopause and menopause trainingIf you've ever felt like your diet and workout plan isn't working, this episode will change the way you approach fitness and nutrition forever.For more resources, click here for the podcast episode page. If you liked this episode, your next listen should be: Look, Feel, & Stay Young Forever: #1 Orthopedic Surgeon's Proven ProtocolConnect with Mel:  Get Mel's #1 bestselling book, The Let Them TheoryWatch the episodes on YouTubeFollow Mel on Instagram The Mel Robbins Podcast InstagramMel's TikTok Sign up for Mel's personal letter Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes ad-freeDisclaimer

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!

Each week, I ask my guest five questions designed to nourish their mind, body, and soul pre interview. These questions help us explore what makes each guest tick as an imperfect, evolving human, taking them out of their heads and into their bodies.While our discussions often go deep into the intellect, these questions invite my guests to step out of their comfort zones, gain a fresh perspective, and perhaps hold a bit more compassion for themselves. I believe this shift from headspace to heart space is something we can all relate to – it's the universal journey of being human.And as a listener, I hope you'll come away feeling a little more connected, not only to these stories but to the shared truths and vulnerabilities we uncover here. Each conversation is an opportunity to peek behind the scenes and share in the humanity of those on the other side of the microphone.Second - Exercise Physiologist, Nutrition Scientist, and Expert in Female-Specific Nutrition, Dr. Stacy Sims.Listen to the full episode here.Watch the full episode on YouTube here.***Thank you to my wonderful sponsors!

In this episode of The Body Pod, we sit down with fitness journalist and endurance athlete Selene Yeager to talk about training, menopause, and navigating the ever-evolving landscape of women's health. From her collaboration with Dr. Stacy Sims to insights on strength training, nutrition, and the science behind hormonal shifts, Selene breaks down the biggest myths and shares practical strategies for thriving through every stage of life. Whether you're an athlete or just looking to feel stronger and more energized, this conversation is packed with expert wisdom and real-life solutions.

Your approach to pre-workout nutrition, especially for early morning training, might need a personal overhaul. Drawing from 20 years of coaching experience, I've discovered that the conventional wisdom of what to eat before training deserves careful reconsideration.The classic recommendation of 20 grams of protein and 20 grams of carbohydrates before training holds merit, but requires individual calibration. Your muscles store glycogen from meals throughout the day, which means your previous day's nutrition profoundly impacts your morning performance capability. For some, fasted training works beautifully; for others, it's a recipe for poor recovery and diminished results.Gender differences add another critical layer to this conversation. Women typically experience greater hormonal disruption from high-intensity fasted training compared to men. Dr. Stacy Sims's research reveals that women benefit significantly from consuming both carbohydrates and protein before training sessions, while men—who generally have more muscle mass and glycogen storage capacity—might perform adequately without immediate pre-workout nutrition.Experimentation is essential. I recommend testing a consistent morning protocol for 1-2 weeks, paying close attention to energy levels, recovery capacity, and daily well-being. Some people thrive with liquid supplements 30 minutes before training, while others need whole foods two hours prior. Equally important are your micronutrients and hydration status—electrolyte balance dramatically affects performance regardless of your macronutrient timing.Ready to optimize your pre-workout approach?

I've always been fascinated by how our body's natural rhythms affect our thoughts, performance, and feelings. Yet, the complexities of women's health often remain unclear, leaving us with incomplete knowledge. But what if the secrets to thriving at every age are more accessible than we think?This episode of Live Well, Be Well is super special because I'm sitting down once again with the amazing Dr. Stacy Sims, a leading expert in women's physiology. We're picking up right where we left off, diving even deeper into what makes our bodies tick and how we can work with our natural cycles rather than fighting against them. Dr. Sims is back with her straightforward, myth-busting approach, offering up some real talk and super practical tips for women of all ages.In this episode, we're unpacking:✔️ The real deal on continuous glucose monitors and other tracking tech—could they be doing more harm than good?✔️ Some surprising insights about perimenopause and why it might start earlier than you think✔️ Why ramping up your high-intensity training and strength work is key during perimenopause✔️ A must-have supplement guide—sorting the helpful from the hype and saving you some serious cash✔️ Effective strategies for maintaining pelvic floor health post-prolapse✔️ And why it's crucial for men to join the conversation on women's healthThis conversation delivers science-backed clarity on rarely discussed women's health topics.Dr. Sims doesn't just share the research; she also gets personal about her own journey through these life stages, offering wisdom that's both empowering and refreshingly honest.Who is Dr. Stacy Sims?Dr. Stacy Sims is an exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist specializing in sex differences in training, nutrition, and health. Known for challenging traditional male-based research models, she's the author of "ROAR" and "Next Level" and has dedicated her career to improving women's performance through evidence-based approaches tailored to female physiology.

Angela is joined by Dr Stacy Sims for a bitsezie edition devoted to the intricacies of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and resistance training specifically tailored for women navigating perimenopause and postmenopause. They discuss the importance of adjusting workout intensity and frequency based on hormonal changes, emphasising the need for increased doses of sprint interval and strength training as women transition through these phases KEY TAKEAWAYS Women in early perimenopause should aim for 2-3 sprint or HIIT sessions and at least 3 resistance training sessions per week. In later perimenopause, this increases to 3-4 sprint sessions and 3 resistance training sessions. For late postmenopause, 4 sprint sessions and 4 resistance training sessions are recommended, focusing on shorter, high-intensity workouts. A structured approach to training, including microcycles and macrocycles, is essential. This can involve focusing on different training modalities (like VO2 max or strength) in blocks, with deload weeks for recovery, allowing for adjustments based on seasonal changes and personal schedules. For women in late perimenopause to early postmenopause, a training cycle of two weeks of focused intensity followed by one week of recovery is beneficial. Recovery weeks should include mobility work and lighter activities to support overall health and performance. Resistance training is crucial throughout all phases, particularly during perimenopause and postmenopause, to combat the loss of lean mass and strength. BEST MOMENTS "When we get into late postmenopause, those receptors are gone. So we really have to look at what kind of external stress can we do to stimulate change in the body." "It's not like I have to do this for 12 months. It's definitely following a periodised model." "We have two weeks of focus training and then one week of full recovery. And in that recovery week, this is your mobility." "When we are getting into perimenopause and we really start to lose lean mass and strength, this is where that power-based training is essential."
