Summary
My guest today is exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist Dr. Stacy Sims. Through her own experience of being an elite athlete, Stacy became focused on revolutionizing exercise nutrition and performance for women. Before all my men run for the door if you have a woman in your life this is a must-listen. If you are in a relationship with a woman, your mom, a sister, a daughter, or if you are a coach, the information that Dr. Sims shares is helpful and could be life-changing for some women.
Who knew that at different times during our cycles our immune systems are weaker or stronger? Stacy shares that we should eat more calories at very specific times in our cycle and that intermittent fasting may not be a girl's best friend even if she's trying to change her body composition.
Her new book, Next Level is out now.
