Dr. Stacy Sims

Okay. I always look around the room and I'm like, who's that doctor person?

Stitcher.

Stitcher.

Stitcher.

Yeah. So I started as an athlete and an academic and an academic in sports science and nutrition. And all the things that we are learning in class didn't really apply to me as an athlete or my teammates. So that really started the question of what are we doing? And as you started digging in, realizing that there really wasn't very much research on women.

And even when you're looking at the textbooks and textbook pictures of representation, they're all male, male bodies. So that was so many decades ago. And ever since then, I've been really trying to dig into both research and the application of research to get women to understand that their bodies are different. We have different physiology from birth. We have hormone fluctuations.

And these affect every system of the body. And we respond to training differently than men. We respond to stress differently than men. And the more we dig into it, the more we realize there's a lot of research to be done. So the research that we do have, I'm really adamant about getting it out so women can be empowered to understand what is going on.

Because face it, we put as much work into our training and we take time out of our day to really work on our health and well-being. So it should be appropriate for us. We shouldn't be fighting the battle against our own bodies because of protocols based on male data.

So that's my mission across the lifespan is to get women from puberty all the way through postmenopause up to speed about what their bodies are doing and how they can modify or alter what they're doing to get the best benefits.

Yeah, for sure. I like to kind of start this conversation when we look at the sex differences that exist at birth. So that's like without our hormone fluctuations from our menstrual cycle and stuff. So when we look at XX versus XY, because that's the primary area of research that we have. Very binary, but that's all we have at the moment.
