Book Review: Stop Training Like a Man

from The Art of Plenty · host The Art of Plenty

If you've ever felt like your fitness efforts aren't quite working, even when you're following the latest trends like intermittent fasting or keto, you NEED to hear this. Dr. Sims blows the lid off the fact that most fitness research is based on men, especially college-aged guys (which, hello, I am NOT!). She dives deep into how our unique female hormonal cycles impact everything – from your energy in the gym to why certain "successful" male-based regimes can actually cause crazy things like periods stopping or hair loss for women.
