Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones

So as we feed forward and see at the onset of puberty what happens is there's another divergence where with what we call the epigenetic exposure or the situational change that happens with estrogen, progesterone, to some extent testosterone in girls, we have a change in all of our biomechanics. So our center of gravity goes from being up in the chest area down to the hip area.

Our hips widen, our shoulder girdle widens, but we're not told about this. So we feel ungangly in our bodies. We aren't taught how to run again, how to jump, how to swing, how to land or any of those things. They're just, well, you are at this point, you get your period. We know girls drop out of sport, but it has to do with the fact that the actual biomechanics of the body have changed.

So when we start looking at all of these trends that are out there and about doing like zone two work and improving our aerobic capacity and trying to do ketogenic diet for improving our fat burning capacity, all that's based on male data. Because being born that XX, you already have all of that capacity.

What we need to work on throughout our entire life is working on that power base and the fast twitch. And I say that because we want to be able to produce power. We want to be able to run fast, to jump, to land, to have good coordination. But more than that, when we look at longevity and we see this is really important in peri and postmenopausal that we keep producing lactate for brain health.

Because if we keep producing lactate from that fast twitch and that higher intensity work that we've been trying to build throughout our life, we are slowing the rate and the risk for Alzheimer's and dementia. So when we see that sex difference in Alzheimer's and dementia, it comes down to the type of muscle fibers and the metabolism that we've been exposed to throughout our life.

So that's why it's like, okay, if we look from birth all the way through to the end of life, There are unique things that women need to do to keep progressing and improving their health for longevity and performance, whereas men are more of a linear because they don't have all of these changes that women have with regards to biomechanics and hormone exposure.

So, of course, it makes sense that you see all this data that comes out for men and men are scribing these protocols and they're improving, that when you take that and put it into certain points within a woman's life, they're not going to respond the same way because physiologically and biomechanically, they are not the same as where that data originated from.
