Women were left out of medical, nutrition, and exercise research for 16 years. They studied men, and then they told women we would get the same results by following the general health guidelines. In this episode, you're going to learn what the research actually says when women are the subjects. You're going to learn an easy shift to work with your hormones to get the sleep that you need, how to help your body effortlessly lose weight, what actually makes you happier and calmer, and what will help you live longer. I’m joined by Dr. Stacy Sims who has her PhD in exercise physiology with a focus on nutrition and sex differences. She spent years in her postdoc at Stanford studying how different interventions impact men and women differently. She has devoted her life to figuring out the real science of women's health, and today she is sharing her exact playbook with you. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • Why intermittent fasting backfires for women • The workout class you may have been sweating through unnecessarily • Why your wearable could be gaslighting you • The male-data fitness myth costing women results • The truth about lifting heavy • Why calorie deficits often make women hold onto fat • Cold plunge vs. sauna: what the research says for women • The supplement that outperforms SSRIs in early research • What the birth control pill may have changed in your brain • Why you can't have it all at once in your workout Check out our NEW YouTube Channel with tons of YouTube exclusive Shorts, exclusive podcast content, and full video episodes: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LizMoodyTV⁠ For more from Dr. Stacy Sims: • Newsletter: https://www.drstacysims.com/newsletters/articles • Website: https://www.drstacysims.com/ • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstacysims/?hl=en Ready to uplevel every part of your life?
