“I can never get a good workout in… I don't have the time.” I hear it all the time, especially from busy women. But get ready to learn the best way NEVER to say that statement again! In this episode, I sit down with Ulrich Dempfle, the CEO of CAROL, to talk about why carving out even a few minutes for exercise in midlife can be a total game-changer. Ulrich explains that the right movement is one of the most powerful things you can do to boost health span, energy, and quality sleep. So we dive into the science of VO₂ max and mitochondrial function (which start to decline in our 30s), and how efficient workouts can slow that process dramatically. For busy women in midlife, heart health and metabolic health are front and center, and CAROL's unique approach makes it possible to train smarter, not longer, for ultimate health. Tune in here to learn all about CAROL, and discover how quick, intentional exercise can fit seamlessly into your hectic life WITHOUT sacrificing results! Ulrich Dempfle Ulrich Dempfle is the CEO and co-founder of CAROL Bike. He began his career as a mechanical engineer in Germany's automotive industry, but later became a healthcare system consultant and is now a fitness tech pioneer. Ulrich's personal fitness transformation is proof of CAROL's power. He stresses the importance of not only improving fitness but also delaying the aging process. By significantly improving his own VO2max, CAROL Bike has helped him turn back the clock on aging and keep it there. IN THIS EPISODE Positive and healthy alternatives to long cardio exercises Comparing the benefits of different training methods All about CAROL, and how it can help you get your energy back How 5 minutes on the CAROL bike can be transformative for you Physical, mental, and cognitive benefits of the CAROL bike The science behind short, effective, rehit workouts How CAROL is ideal for supporting women's unique hormonal shifts in perimenopause and menopause Use the code MARIZA to claim $100 OFF your CAROL bike! QUOTES “Unfortunately, with aging, we all lose about 10% of our VO2 max per decade. So it's a progressive thing. It starts from around 30, and if you don't do something about it, you will lose fitness progressively throughout your life.” “Based on the feedback we're receiving, [we] make it as simple as possible and take as many barriers away to actually stick to a workout and reap the benefits that are available from this ultra short, super efficient workout.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Preorder the Perimenopause Revolution and get your VIP ticket to the Perimenopause Solution event http://hayh.site/pr_bl_ap-snyder_a_opt Get $100 off your CAROL bike HERE with code: MARIZA https://carolbike.pxf.io/GK3LaE CAROL YouTube CAROL Instagram CAROL Facebook RELATED EPISODES #546: How to Stay Lean, Energized and Strong By Working With Your Physiology, Not Against It with Dr. Stacy Sims #646: The Number One Exercise Hack I'm Doing Daily In Peri To Burn Fat, Build Lean Muscle and Boost Energy & Mental Clarity #552: The Midlife Muscle Crisis: Why Maintaining Muscle Is Necessary For Fat Loss, Strength and Longevity with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon 672: Unbreakable: How to Build a Body And Life That Defies the Rules of Aging with Dr. Vonda Wright
In this shorter Mini Motivation episode, host Amelia Phillips and world renown exercise physiologist Dr Stacy Sims dives into targeted nutrition for the holy grail, which is nutrition to lose bodyfat but build muscle strength. So often when people go on a fat loss mission, they can accidentally lose muscle at the same time. It does not have to be this way. They also discuss the confusing topic of whether prolonged overnight fasts are helpful or harmful for women and why.

Chill overnight for a ready-made drink Method: Brew your coffee. Combine coffee with protein powder (and optional ingredients) in a blender—blending ensures smooth texture and better absorption . Blend until frothy and well-mixed. Enjoy within 30–60 minutes of waking—it aligns with natural cortisol rhythms, helping stabilize energy and support muscle protein synthesis . Why This Recipe Works for Women Sustainable energy + less crash: Combining protein with caffeine helps blunt cortisol spikes and prevents those shaky jittery responses we often get from coffee alone . Muscle preservation + training support: Leucine-rich protein early in the day supports muscle recovery and metabolism—especially important for active women or those navigating hormonal transitions . Hormone-friendly routine: Enjoying protein coffee as soon as you wake sets a physiological tone of “fed and safe,” which can improve energy, reduce cravings, and enhance mood—less fatigue, more focus.

She is currently a lecturer at Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology in New Zealand, and is a Nutrition consultant for national and international athletes and coaches. She is a mom of two and has previously represented New Zealand in distance running, winning several national and international marathon titles.We learn:--How osteoporosis is a silent disease which impacts women more than men--Insights into the Osteogains phone app and how it helps women improve bone density in just minutes per day--Why walking isn't enough to protect bone health--How women need to lift heavier to protect bones and muscles--Nutritional advice for supporting bone health, including calcium and vitamin D intake--The significance of protein in maintaining bone and muscle integrity as we ageConnect with Tracey:https://www.instagram.com/osteogains/Keywords:Bone health osteoporosis women's health exercise science bone density osteogains app nutrition calcium vitamin D protein intake aging strong exercise intensity silent disease bone mineral density dr stacy sims#bonehealth #osteoporosisprevention #womenover50 #healthyaging #OsteoGains
Selene is a professional health and fitness writer who is also the author or co-author of 6 books including the incredibly popular ‘Roar' with Dr Stacy Sims.Selene is also an extraordinary athlete in her own right. She's been a semi-professional athlete since her late 30s and has competed in everything from Hawaii Ironman to 7 day mountain bike stage races and 200 mile (that's 320km) gravel classics.And she hosts the popular podcast ‘Hit Play Not Pause' for active performance-minded women in their 40s and beyond.In this conversation we discuss:* how riding her bike helped her find herself after a series of abusive relationships and a really bad eating disorder left her feeling lost,* the line between having a healthy drive and an unhealthy one,* her advice for women interested in mountain biking or off-road cycling, and* how she came to meet and work with Dr Stacey Sims, and the changes she made as a result of what she learnt.Plus we discuss the new project she's working; another book with Dr Stacey Sims on menopause.
Based in Boulder, Colorado Erin is the head coach for EC Fit. Her clients include the dynamic duo of Mirinda Carfrae (3 x Ironman World Champion) and Tim O'Donnell (fastest American ever at Kona). Aside from the World Champions she coaches, Erin also coaches everyday people - like me! She's a visionary who is changing what it means to be a strong athlete and the best strength training for endurance athletes. In this conversation we discuss:* her career as a basketball player, including playing professionally in Europe, * how her love of strength training started from a need to become stronger for basketball,* her transition into strength training endurance athletes,* why addressing hormonal responses and creating more energy (rather than strength or speed) is at the heart of her philosophy, * why strength training for performance is about how well you can move, not how much you can lift,* the importance of rest and recovery and the easiest way to incorporate it into your busy schedule (essentially, forget all the tech; just do things that you find relaxing or that calm you down - which is *not* spending time on social media),* that she has the opposite of the Imposter Complex and why she's thought that she's “good enough” since the 5th grade,* why you can come last and still be victorious, * how she came to meet Dr Stacy Sims and how they came to collaborate on a strength program for women,* how her philosophy and approach to strength training has changed after learning from Dr Sims, and* her experience through peri-menopause and menopause as an athlete in her 50s.
As we get older, have you ever wondered why the exercise advice we've been given doesn't seem to work as well as it once did? As we move into our 40s and beyond, our physiology changes in ways that can often feel confusing and frustrating. But what if we could harness those changes to feel stronger, healthier and more resilient than ever before? My guest this week is exercise physiologist and nutritional scientist, Dr Stacy Sims. Stacy is dedicated to helping active women – and the people who support them – take back control of their bodies, health and lives through science-based knowledge and practical tools. She is the author of two books, including ‘ROAR: How to Match Your Food and Fitness to Your Unique Female Physiology for Optimum Performance, Great Health, and a Strong, Lean Body for Life' and the creator of her signature course, Women Are Not Small Men, after recognising the lack of research specifically done on women in exercise, nutrition and medicine. In this conversation, we discuss: Why conventional fitness advice often fails women in midlife, and how we can move beyond outdated recommendations How hormonal changes during perimenopause affect everything from metabolism and muscle strength to mood and sleep The crucial role of resistance training in maintaining bone density, muscle mass and cognitive function as we get older Why high-intensity interval training can boost our metabolism, balance blood sugar and reduce harmful belly fat How the language around “muscle toning” can be unhelpful, and why lifting heavier weights is so important for building real strength and protecting our long-term health Practical ways to start strength training safely, even if you don't enjoy the gym, and simple strategies for fitting effective movement into a busy week with minimal time How building strength now supports our independence, resilience and vitality, helping us stay active, prevent injuries and feel confident as we age This conversation is an invitation for all of us to rethink what's possible as we grow older. Stacy's insights remind us that with the right information and support, we can build strength, confidence and better health at any stage of life. And if you find this episode helpful, why not share it with the women in your life – friends, family or colleagues – so they can feel empowered and informed about their bodies, too.

Creatine: the most researched supplement in the world and a game-changer for women’s energy, brain health, and resilience against anxiety and depression. Saunas & Cold Plunges: why women respond differently than men, the ideal temperatures for maximum benefit, and how to safely integrate heat and cold into your routine for better health, mood, and longevity. If you’ve ever wondered how to fuel, train, and recover in ways that actually support women’s unique physiology - this conversation will inspire you to rethink your approach and take charge of your long-term wellbeing.

Dr Stacy Sims is an environmental exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist at the University of Waikato in NZ.She's an incredible athlete in her own right too, having competed at the Hawaii Ironman in Kona as well as the Xterra (Off-Road Triathlon) World Championships in Maui.And she's the author of an important book called Roar. It is a profound book that will challenge everything you thought you knew about training, nutrition, racing and recovery.At the core of Stacy's work is the concept that women are not small men.It seems obvious, I know!However the majority of sports science research - and a result, the majority of what we understand about the best way to train, eat, drink, race and recover - has been done on men.Even the common training program structure of 3 weeks of training followed by 1 week of recovery is - you guessed it! - based on research done on men, without any regard for the hormonal changes experienced by women each and every month.Yet given that every system in our body changes across the month (not just our hormones), it's hard and frustrating to believe this “shrink it and pink it” approach has also been applied to sports science.But unfortunately, it has! We've been taught to train, eat, drink, race and recover the same way as men!
For women, mid-life can be a season when all of a sudden it feels like our health is on a downward spiral without us changing a thing. Hormonal fluctuations happening during the years preceeding menopause can lead to weight gain, depression, muscle loss, hot flashes and more. The good news is that people like Neal Barnard and Stacy Sims are providing today's women with a lot more information and tools than our grandmothers ever had relating to women's health during these years. We know a lot more about simple interventions that in some cases have been shown to be as effective in reducing symptoms as hormone therapy. Listen in as I share the research on foods, supplements and exercise methods that are providing women with relief from the long list of unpleasant symptoms that can accompany this stage of life. It's time to learn and let go of so much of the silent suffering woman have faced during this season of life.

What does it take to heal beyond the pills, the quick fixes, and the 15-minute doctor visits? For today's episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast, we have Cristi Cuellar, also known as “Austin's Holistic Physical Therapist,” who has spent the last 18 years transforming lives through her approach to healing. With a passion for alternative pain management, she champions conscious exercise and an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, emphasizing personalized, one-on-one care that addresses the root causes of pain. In 2016, Cristi enhanced her expertise by becoming certified in dry needling, inspired by its rapid benefits in her own journey—from a high school athlete who tore her Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), to becoming a physical therapist, and ultimately launching C&C Dry Needling, her own wellness clinic in South Lamar. We talk about what makes her approach so unique, which is the 5R wellness method that helps patients reset their nervous system, repair soft tissue, and truly reclaim their health. She takes pride in listening to her patients' complete stories, creating a holistic pathway to optimal health and empowerment. Cristi has a Bachelor's of Health and Science Degree from Baylor University and a Master of Physical Therapy Degree from Texas State University.

Why do women struggle more with intermittent fasting than men? And what's the real secret to building bone density that most women are missing? In this Fitness Friday episode, exercise physiologist Dr. Stacy Sims and I break down the biological differences that make popular health trends work differently for women. We explore the concept of "polarized training"—why women need to go super hard or super easy, avoiding that moderate-intensity middle zone that can actually increase cortisol and visceral fat. We also discuss the fascinating brain differences between men and women that make fasting potentially harmful for women's hormones, sleep, and body composition. Dr. Stacy Sims is an international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who specializes in sex differences in training, nutrition, and environmental conditions. She's the author of "Roar" and "Next Level" and has spent decades researching how women's unique physiology requires different approaches to health and fitness. What we discuss: The polarized training approach: why moderate intensity is the enemy Minimum effective dose for women's training (hint: it's less than you think) Why jump training beats running for bone density The specific type of jumping that builds bones (it's not what you expect) Why trampolines don't count for bone building The brain differences that make fasting risky for women Why women become "anabolically resistant" at 40 and need more protein The top 3 supplements every woman needs Thank you to our sponsor: Momentous: Shop this link and use code Jen for 20% off Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off TruNiagen: Head over to truniagen.com and use code HUSTLE20 to get $20 off any purchase over $100.

I also share a bit about my own pregnancy and experience with cold plunging. Topics Discussed:→ Can cold plunge therapy improve hormone balance?→ Does ice bathing help with fertility and testosterone?→ How does cold exposure support mitochondrial health?→ Can chronic illness be reversed with cold therapy?Sponsored By:→ Black Lotus Shilajit | Visit: www.blacklotusshilajit.com and Use Code: SARAHK for 15% the entire site!→ Bon Charge | Click here & use code for SARAHKLEINER for 15% off storewide. → Troscriptions | There's a completely new way to optimize your health.

The Simple Sophisticate - Intelligent Living Paired with Signature Style
"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
