If you have ever been told to fast, cut your carbs, or stick to light weights then this episode is honestly going to change everything you thought you knew.
Dr Stacy Sims is a world-renowned physiologist, nutrition scientist, and applied researcher who has dedicated her career to the mission of understanding and communicating the profound differences between male and female physiology, and making sure women stop being treated as smaller versions of men.
She is the author of ROAR and Next Level, the host of a TED talk entitled ‘Women Are Not Small Men’ that has now been viewed nearly half a million times, and one of the most important voices in women's health and performance science today.

The research does not support it. Zone two training? Women are already oxidatively capable. They need intensity, not more long slow work. Light weights? Absolutely not.
