Women Are Not Small Men: Dr. Stacy Sims on Exercise, Nutrition, and Menopause

Everything you've been told about exercise and nutrition was probably based on male physiology. For women in perimenopause and menopause, that gap is costing us. Stacy talks with Dr. Stacy Sims — exercise physiologist and leading researcher in female-specific science — about why women lose power before muscle, how the gut microbiome shifts in the four years before menopause, why fasting past noon disrupts your hormones, what to do if you're on a GLP-1, and how to build bone density, brain health, and confidence through movement.
