  • STACY T. SIMS, MSC, PhD, is a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who aims to revolutionize exercise nutrition and performance for women. She has directed research programs at Stanford, AUT University, and the University of Waikato, focusing on female athlete health and performance and pushing the dogma to improve research on all women. During her tenure at Stanford, she had the opportunity to translate earlier research into consumer products and a science-based layperson's book (ROAR) written to explain sex differences in training and nutrition across the lifespan. Both the consumer products and the book challenged the existing dogma for women in exercise, nutrition, and health. This paradigm shift is the focus of her famous "Women Are Not Small Men” TEDx talk.
    In this episode we discuss:
    • Training methods for everyday women, not athletes.
    • Should women be taking exogenous hormones?
    • How to maintain fitness during menopause.
    • Can your health get better with age?

      I went through menopause after having a hysterectomy. Years of suffering with endometriosis.
      I started working on my mindset, started fueling my body with nutrition and cut out sugar. I also started walking then moved up to HITT for 20 minutes a day and dropped those 30lbs I had gained during menopause. Now I’ve added weight training 3 times per week.
      I changed my career and now help women do the same.
      Love what I do and how I feel.

    I found this podcast and the work of Dr. Sims very helpful as a 65 year old woman. I beg to differ on the HRT. I started bioidentical hormones around the age of 54. As I compare myself to my friends my age who do not use HRT, I do not have many of the health issues my counterparts have. Many of the get UTIs, no libido, dryness not only vaginally but overall. Then there is bone atrophy, aches, pains. Heart problems and the list goes on. Since she was part of WHI it tells me a lot. That to me was a very flawed study. New research shows that HRT helps with the dementia. Last, I was never able to tolerate birth control so have never been on them. All in all I learned a lot from this podcast!

    • @SydneyCollin
      @SydneyCollin Před 2 měsíci +2

      Yes! Bioidentical HRT has been an absolute lifesaver for me! Like you, I am vastly healthier (and happier) than most of my peers. The WHI study was disasterous for so many menopausal women.

    Homemade bone broth has been a game changer for me …. Healed leaky gut, no more joint paint where I had prior injuries . Sleep is still an issue an I did bio identical hormones which did not go well for me so I changed my diet to all Whole Foods with a huge emphasis on meat eggs butter full fat dairy/ protein . I started 10X weight lifting, yoga, long slow walking for 5-8 miles per day and hiit 2 times a week on my trampoline! I’m 54 menopausal

    I’m an athlete just gone through menopause, my body has changed considerably. I went from Muay Thai training (high intensity) fasted 3 mornings a week, fed 6 afternoons and 3 hypertrophy a week pre menopause to having to figure myself out all over again. Now I do 3 fed morning Muay Thai training and no more than this. If I do more cardio or high intensity than this it now gives me high bp and sleep problem, it’s too much for my new menopause body. I still do 3 hypertrophy a week. I have had to change what I eat, this video was so useful to confirm what I had figured out for myself. I’m having way more protein now and big meals in the daytime as you say around training. I’ve also found black cohosh a non negotiable, hot flashes disrupt my sleep without it. Maca and ashwaganda, along with l theonine are my new best friends. It’s so bizarre to have known my body so well and for it to have changed so quickly and to have to figure it out all over again. I’ve just purchased Stacy’s books, thanks!

      @@downundaincagoddess3316 I'm 52, I'm off the black cohosh now and have been able to up my cardio training again after being way more careful about my cortisol levels & sleep. Being post menopause means stress management and I have so few stresses in my life compared to others, but exercise and positive stressors are now a bigger deal. I think the cortisol is the thing that affects metabolism in menopause, I noticed I was putting on weight and now I eat way MORE and especially focusing on carbs after training (of course protein, was doing that already) but carbs seem to settle the body down from the stress of exercise.

    FWIW, I had HORRIBLE hot flashes for a few years after i reached menopause. Would wake up drenched, sheets soaked from sweat. Happened to go to a 10 day silence and meditation retreat where ZERO COFFEE was served. Flashes stopped. I gave up all coffee.. I've never had another hot flash since. It was like overnight they stopped.

    This is what I started reading and researching 20 years ago and couldn't find the right professional to get on the same page. I've always felt that it was much more than just diet and exercise. I ate healthy, started walking after my 2 kids were born,
    added aerobics, wts, circuit training, biked a little, swam a bit... continued walking 2-3 miles every evening. Then hormones disappeared. To see me walk now, I look like I'm 15 years older than what I am. It has to be muscle and bone loss, and whatever else is missing. I feel like I've been Screaming to the top of my lungs trying to find someone to help!! I'm about in tears right now listening... because now I think it's too late.

      It’s not too late, start now let go of the past, your grieving is over;) today is the day Linda, it will get better from here on out, not any worse, you better know that, you better believe that. you have the power to create your future. The body can heal and regenerate, so you better know that In your soul and see it happening for yourself, very important. Keep a good headspace, lift weights and eat lots of meat and eggs, cottage cheese things like that, whey protein powder, vit D and k2.
      You NEVER give up on yourself when you have life ahead of you.

      Thanks for the reminder. In the beginning I used some progesterone cream from the health food store. My gynecologist seemed to be ok with bioidentical, but later with different insc, when I wanted to have my levels checked he said my insc wouldn't cover it unless I agreed to take hormone replacement therapy. And it wasn't the bioidentical. That's nutz!! Big pharma! I want to try saliva testing again to see if I have anything left and go from there. Thanks!

    This is just what I needed to hear right now. I’m heading straight into full blown menopause. It will be one year this July that I haven’t had a period. My hormones are all over the place and I feel like I have zero energy and my mood swings are horrible. I still fast and exercise daily, but get so irritable until I can eat something and my family suffers through having to deal with me. I have tried broadening my eating window but feel worse when I do that so I go back to fasting like before. I think I just need to try to implement these tips into my routine to see if it can get any better for me. Thank you for this! 😊

    Can’t wait to see what she says once she hits menopause herself. The WHI study was very flawed and she doesn’t appear to understand that. There are multiple reasons to replace our missing hormones and despite doing everything else recommended I wouldn’t be here without my 3 replaced hormones.

    • @SydneyCollin
      @SydneyCollin Před 2 měsíci

    • @yubable
      @yubable Před rokem +2

      when asked why she is against hrt, she says that from the cultural perspective, she thinks it's wrong that women are constantly, in the course of all of their lives, are pushed to take exogenous hormones, and that if men would be asked to do that they wouldn't have it. did I get it right? that second point doesn't make sense and doesn't prove anything. the first point is not true. a very small number of women are offered HRT for menopause. Many have to beg for it, while others are scared of it because of the WHI study. her reply sounds disingenuous to me.

  • @ggrthemostgodless8713
    @ggrthemostgodless8713 Před rokem +1

    From trainers I respect, I hear that as you grow older the intensity of the exercises should be preserved OVER the volume.
    If you are NOT recovering from a session at the gym, and you have to adjust and "sacrifice" one over the other, with rest staying equal because of life obligations, then you should lower your volume, but keep the intensity, fewer reps same weight, and a FEW more sets; but finding a balance and NOT taking too much weight OFF between sessions. Thus, you preserve the strength and muscle mass,CNS activity etc, and if you CAN adjust a bit the rest periods but do not take too many sessions off the calendar.

    I’m 68, went through menopause at 52. Always had an easy time of building muscle. Never had weight gain or intense menopausal symptoms. I’m 5’5”, 116lbs. My issue now is stage 2-4 osteoarthritis in my knees. May have been exacerbated by motorcycle accident at 19 (left leg is 2” shorter now). I stopped resistance training years ago. Mountain biking and hiking were my jam. I’m also vegan-20 years. I now realize I MUST train again. I’ve been doing resistance training with a sports PT for the past 6 weeks and it’s been incredible. I’m thankful my body responds well although I do notice it takes more time. I’ve also begun adding some fish to my diet and tracking macros with a focus on increasing protein. I’ve never done HRT and understand that now the negatives outweigh benefits. I was put on birth control for acne at 15. I was on BC for 15 years. I have good energy as long as I get good sleep. I’ve been tracking my sleep and tweaking things to get more deep sleep. Low sex drive is frustrating. I’ve taken ashwaganda and other supplements that hasn’t seemed to help much. What has helped is resistance training! Energy levels and focus are also side benefits from training. I’ve heard other doctors/trainers tall about creatine. I will add this supplement for a couple months and track how I respond. Great podcast! I will look for Stacy’s revised edition of her book.

    The long term benefits (body and brain) of IF outweighs the small percentage of supposed lifting gains I may be missing out on by eating before a workout. My body is used to using fats as fuel. I do light cardio in AM and lift heavy in the PM, then I eat. I'm incorporating taking Keto friendly essential amino acid supplements right before my lift sessions but I haven't seen any improvements from it yet. I have a lot more muscle mass now at 48 than when I did decades ago while doing a ton of running, lifting and eating all day long.

    I am just so completely confused. So much conflicting advice, don't eat fat, eat fat, low carb, high carb. Fast, don't fast, train fasted, don't train fasted. OMAD, 16-8, mix up your fasting timings. Then we get to training, cardio is best no resistance is better. Don't do HIIT, you must do HIIT. I'm starting to feel like I'm listening to too many podcasts and any problem with excess fat (I am not overweight and train regularly) is my body is just as confused !
    The only thing that I am trying to do is up my protein and lift heavier. I eat very little sugar or processed food but boy does my body tell me when I do. Still trying to decide whether to continue training fasted as before listening to this I was going to attempt 30 day OMAD!
    On top of this I have to take iron which I have to do on an empty stomach!

    @ggrthemostgodless8713 Před rokem +1

    Exercise SELECTION is very important, BUTTTT... there is limit to how varied it can become, the basic exercises have to always be included, people start to say thing like , the exercises to do depend on the person, and that is true but has limits, if the objective is adaptation.
    And to begin with the person has to be ABLE to assume the extreme positions in the range of motion FIRST, with bodyweight, before you add any weight. So many, for example, start doing squats, but they cannot keep the lower position without weight at all, and yet they start doing them and never go past a quarter way down.
    When I position people in that lowEST place they feel things popping and adjusting and opening and the back muscles engaged and spinel bones moving to the right places, etc, then hold it for a few seconds and do it over again, same with ALL other exercises, not just the multi-joint exercises.
    For older people is even MORE important, I mean old people, someone at 40-50 is not old and should be able to quickly adapt to it... but if you take someone in their 70-80 then they have to do it too but give them way more slack and time, but they all can do it. For the squat for example, they can hold on to a pole or rack and lower themselves into the position and NOT feel like that are going to fall, with women you got to be extra nice bc they get in there feelings, even cry to attempt to get out of it, and only thank you later when they achieve all of that.

    I'm 52 and need to rebuild my body. I had a complete hysterectomy at age 27 and went without using HRT until last year. There's no need to get into why I'm in poor condition. My biggest concern is that my thyroid and sex hormones are out of balance, which I'm currently working on. Also, getting nutrition dialed in. We don't have a gym here, I bought resistant bands. I plan to do body weight and band exercises along with Qi Gong. Any advice on how often, how much, and nutrition? Would it be wise to begin working out before I get my thyroid and sex hormones balanced?

    A lot of this goes against Peter Attia's recommendations and Rhonda Patrick's recommendations. For example, Peter advocates for a lot of zone 2 cardio. Rhonda touts the benefits of Norwegian 4x4 training for longevity and VO2 max improvements. Norwegian 4X4 is longer intervals than was Stacey recommends for her "sprint training." With all these "experts" and their differing opinions/advice, it is very hard as a woman to know what to do. There is no consensus, other than the importance of weigh lifting.

      I know it is frustrating, but Peter Attia’s info is based on research on men, Stacy says. And Rhonda’s info is on longevity specifically. Stacy’s work is specifically for women of a certain age to feel well hormone and energy-wise, have the body composition they want, and stay strong to avoid falls in the later years. Maybe a different focus?

    She speaks so fast that if you put the subtitles on a LOTTTT of important words are misspelled, or replaced by other words not related to anything she is speaking about, by the autogenerator, and are written badly, if she would slow down like 25% and collect her thoughts and then express them it would help a lot more than it is already helping. If she had a crispier voice this would not be an issue bc I have seen videos of people specially woman with clearer ENUNCIATION and not run their words together so much that confuses the close captioning autogeneration... remember this is watched world wide, and many (not me) are not English speaking or not native speakers, etc, clearly speaking voices are important.
    For example, 18:05, Sprint interval TRAINING is written as Sprint interval TRADING...
    her nasal pronouncement interferes with the AI translator and that is whet it hears. Many examples like that.
    By the way, that "sprint interval training" is also known, or maybe called, Tabata Training ... invented for VO2 max for Japanese speed skaters etc etc... They did 20 SECONDS of running fast, with 10 seconds of rest, six to eight times. Four minutes and you are DONE!! Really DONE!!
