Women's Metabolism throughout life with Stacy Sims, PHD

One Thing with Dr. Adam Rinde

In this episode I welcome on the esteemed exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist Stacy Sims, PhD. My patients have been hearing me talk about her for years when I first started recommending her book ROAR. And, now with so many women struggling with their metabolism during their 40's and 50's , I asked her to come on and speak about her new book Next Level: Your guide to Kicking Ass, Feeling Great, and Crushing Goals Through Menopause and Beyond. There are not many people who have left me speechless during my podcast and Dr. Sims did. Her explanation of the importance of estrogen, protein, nutrient timing, specific training stimuli, and overall resilience was precise , poignant, and actionable. I am sure you are going to enjoy this episode and feel more equipped to understand what the heck is happening to your body as you age.
