Stacy Sims: Thriving Through Menopause with Science-Backed Strategies and Protocols

Dr. Stacy Sims 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. With the unique opportunities Silicon Valley has to offer, during her tenure at Stanford, she had the opportunity to translate earlier research into consumer products and a science-based layperson's book (ROAR) written to explain sex differences in training and nutrition across the lifespan. Both the consumer products and the book challenged the existing dogma for women in exercise, nutrition, and health. This paradigm shift is the focus of her famous "Women Are Not Small Men” TEDx talk. Stacy’s latest book, Next Level: Your Guide To Kicking Ass, Feeling Great, And Crushing Goals Through Menopause And Beyond, is out May 17th. • This episode of The Ready State Podcast is sponsored by Momentous, the largest supplier of nutritional support to college, pro-sports teams, and the military in the world. In this conversation with Stacy Sims, a couple of supplements come up a lot: Collagen and Creatine. And the importance of starting them early. Right now, Momentous is offering The Ready State listeners a discounted Collagen/Creatine Bundle.

ABOUT TIME BERY IMPORTANT INFO HERE!!! Must-read for women of ALL ages!

This is a must-read /listen for women of ALL ages, and especially if you’re already in peri- or post-menopause! The truth is, once you’re in peri menopause, big changes have already begun. After more than 20 years of research, Dr Sims tells ALL women specifically how, why, and in what ways we should be training BEFORE this starts.
If you’re young, you’ll thank yourself later to get a jump on this information before these hormonal changes occur, because it’s much easier to prevent than to fix!!
I’m sharing Dr. Stacy Sims’ information, books (she has two—ROAR and NEXT LEVEL) and podcasts with all my female friends/relatives, because I’ve watched so many decline once they hit age 50. Even the ones who live at the gym doing hours of treadmill while living on 1200 calories daily. Dr. Sims explains why they’re still getting fatter in the belly, losing their butts and lean mass (aka muscle) overall, as well as losing bone mass.
She tells how to work with your hormones (or lack there of) with heavy resistance training and stopping the endless cardio.
Bottom line, STOP trying to get smaller with cardio and starvation and start eating protein and build muscle instead so you can be healthy and self-sufficient your entire life!!!
