Women in midlife are being told everywhere to "lift heavy," "stop doing cardio," and "hack your hormones" for better metabolic health. But what is actually TRUE for the menopausal body?
In this timely re-release, I'm bringing back one of the most important and misunderstood conversations I've ever had — with exercise physiologist and researcher Dr. Stacy Sims. If you've been confused about how to work out in your 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and a science-backed plan to finally feel strong in your body again.
Stacy and I walk through strength training, sprint intervals, "soul food" cardio, injury prevention, brain health, protein and carb timing, plant-based vs omnivore nutrition, creatine, and how to combine fasting with training in a safe and supportive way.
And if you've ever wondered whether Stacy and I actually disagree about fasting — this episode will give you the nuance that short-form content never allows.
