Feel Better, Live More with Dr Rangan Chatterjee · BITESIZE | What You Need To Know About Strength, Menopause & Healthy Ageing | Dr Stacy Sims #673 · 9 Jul 2026 podcast

You're going to get strong.

you're going to have really good cognitive faculties, and you're going to have really strong bones.

And those are the things that we're after.

Absolutely.

Because as we age, both men and women, we become more anabolically resistant to exercise and protein.

So the more strength training you put in, the more your body responds to building muscle and building bone, both men and women.

It's just when we look at aging, we see women have this definitive point in time where all of a sudden they're feeling the effects of aging and it's perimenopause.

Whereas men age in more of a linear fashion.

We see a blip in their 40s and we see a blip in their 60s, but it's not as overt as what's happening to women in perimenopause.

And I say this coming from an incredible endurance background.

Like I was an ultra runner.

I raced Ironman.

I raced road bikes.

I did XTERRA.

But strength training is something that

was exposed to me early days, but I didn't really understand the value and the power of it until I started working with Marcia Stefanik at Stanford in the Women's Health Initiative data, where we really started looking at the outcomes and longevity from DEXAs of who had more lean mass and who did strength training versus those who didn't.

So it wasn't really even about attenuating any of the menopausal symptoms.

was about let's look at the viability and the quality of life for women who entered the study when they were in their 60s and now they're in their 80s or 90s, who's doing the best?

And it was those women who were more muscle centric and strength oriented.

And I was like, okay, now let's really start getting into the strength training thing.
