Imagine a world where we leverage AI to solve problems in human health, propel human performance, and close the gender gap in research. Thanks to Dr. Silvia Blemker, a professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Virginia, and her team at Springbok Analytics, that is happening at a rapid pace. Dr. Blemker and her team are changing our understanding of muscle repair and how to stop muscle degeneration - something we all need as we age.As a founder of Springbok Analytics, Silvia uses AI-powered technology to deliver detailed insights for muscle health, performance, and longevity across both males and females, advancing medicine for all and finally closing the gender gap that is prevalent in scientific research.Today, Silvia discusses her current research projects, how sex differences affect every part of our body, how AI is creating rapid change for women’s health and sports performance, and most importantly, why women have better calves (you can’t argue with science!)Join us at Feisty Fest - September 18-20th, 2026: https://feisty.co/events/feisty-fest/Sign up to Receive The Feisty Women's Performance Newsletter:https://feisty.co/newsletters/feisty-womens-performance/Follow us on Instagram:@feisty_womens_performanceVisit the Feisty website at https://feisty.co/ for info on all of our events and podcastsSupport our Partners:Use code PERFORMANCE for 20% off at http://cozyearth.comMomentous: Head to https://www.livemomentous.com/ and use promo code PERFORMANCE for up to 35% off your first orderWahoo: Learn more about Wahoo Fitness Products at: https://wahoofitness.pxf.io/0GAByRTifosi Optics: Use code FEISTY2026 for 20% off at https://tifosioptics.com/
