    Dr. Stacy Sims is an exercise physiologist, nutrition scientist, TEDx speaker, and the bestselling author behind the viral phrase "Women are not small men." In this episode, she joins Denise Thomas to unpack what we really need to know about women’s physiology — and how most training and nutrition advice completely ignores it.

    They get into the menstrual cycle, perimenopause, postmenopause, and how to train through it all. Stacy explains why women lose power during certain phases, how training affects the brain, and what female athletes should do differently when it comes to strength, conditioning, recovery, and stress. They also break down cold plunges, sauna use, and why CrossFit coaches and gym owners have an opportunity to lead the way in changing the narrative.

    Topics Included
    • Biological differences in training, recovery, and metabolism
    • Power, hormone shifts, and the menstrual cycle
    • When and how to modify workouts
    • Why fasting and cold plunges don’t affect men and women the same way
    • How to feel and perform your best during perimenopause and postmenopause
    • Raising the next generation of girls to understand their physiology for performance
