I am honored to connect with Dr. Stacy Sims today. She is a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist on a mission to revolutionize exercise and nutrition performance- particularly for women.\nIn our conversation, we discuss the exclusion of women from research in the modern science era and how gender differences begin in utero. We look into the importance of tracking our menstrual cycles, the differences between follicular and luteal phases, and problematic ovulatory cycles, exploring the current research on oral contraceptives, the impact of the Women's Health Initiative, and the kind of training that is essential for women in perimenopause and menopause. We also cover the physiologic changes that occur in perimenopause and menopause, and Dr. Sims shares her thoughts on weight loss resistance, SECO, undereating, the importance of protein, and essential supplements for middle-aged women.\nI know you will love this invaluable conversation with Dr. Stacy Sims.\n\nIN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:\n\nWhy are women still excluded from many studies?\n\nHow the physiological differences between men and women begin in utero and continue through adulthood\n\nHow stress during pregnancy affects the developing fetus\n\nHow the muscle morphology of women differs from that of men\xa0\n\nWhy girls need to learn new ways to move and build strength during puberty\n\nHow tracking menstrual cycle phases helps women optimize their training\n\nThe potential long-term effects of using oral contraceptives\n\nWhy a diverse diet is essential for supporting gut health\n\nCommon misconceptions surrounding hormone therapy\n\nWhy Dr. Sims recommends creatine for women in perimenopause and menopause\n\n\nConnect with Cynthia Thurlow\xa0\xa0\n\nFollow on Twitter\n\n\nInstagram\n\nLinkedIn\n\nCheck out Cynthia\u2019s website\n\n\nSubmit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com\n\n\n\nConnect with Dr. Stacy Sims\xa0\n\nOn her website\n\n\nOn Instagram\n\n\nFacebook\n\nTikTok
