I am so happy you guys join me because this is an incredible interview, not because of me, but because

my guest is insane. So this is Dr. Stacey Sims. I found her through her book Roar. And I mean,

she's just incredibly smart and I love it. Her tagline is, we are not small men.

So basically as she was studying for her PhD and as she was researching the body, all

these studies that she was finding as she was working with professional athletes and as

herself as an athlete, nothing was being researched on women.

And even, God, she even talks about this in the interview, but even the

genetic testing, the things like 23 and me that I'm getting my results for, all of that is based

on like white European men. And it's just so fascinating. One, that that's the case, but two, that there's,

I mean, she's just such a powerhouse.

She decided to do it herself.

And this interview is all about the differences between men and women and what that means

for training and what that means in so many different ways.

But I wanted, I was legit nervous to interview her.

And I wanted to read her bio before she

gets talking because you guys just need to know how awesome she is.

Recently named by Outside Magazine as one of top 40 women who have advanced and challenged

the outdoor world through their leadership, innovation, and athletic feats.

Dr. Stacey Sims is an exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist.

She works in New Zealand right now, but her research mainly is involving understanding

sex differences of heat and altitude stress, recovery, genetics, and nutrition to moderate adaptive

responses for performance. And I am just so thrilled.
