podcast guest
Stacy T. Sims, Ph.D., is an applied researcher, innovator, and entrepreneur in human performance, specifically sex differences in training, nutrition, and environmental conditions. During Stacy’s tenure at Stanford, she had the opportunity to translate earlier research into consumer products and a science-based layperson’s book, ROAR, written to explain sex differences in training and nutrition across the lifespan.
In this episode, we talk about how women’s and men’s bodies respond differently to exercise and sports training, how we should be exercising, popular diet trends and why they are problematic, the effect of the contraceptive pill on muscle gain, her top supplement recommendation for everyone, and so much more!

A Nutrisense CGM is an incredible way to monitor your blood sugar levels in real-time and their app helps you see exactly how your diet and lifestyle specifically affect your blood sugar. I tried a Nutrisense CGM this past summer and it was a game-changer. It was amazing to see how my meals and specific foods were affecting me positively or negatively. There was a whole lot of experimentation while using it to see what worked best for me and some foods were real shockers. Now you can get a Nutrisense CGM and take $25 off your first month of service. This includes two CGMs to be used for two weeks each, the app, and a month of free dietitian support. That support is invaluable and the best part of the service.
