In this podcast, I sit down with the remarkable Dr. Stacy Sims– who fully embodies feeling energized at any age. 
For almost all women– even active women– perimenopause and menopause can hit hard. And goodness knows I’ve felt that overnight.
But today, we discuss how menopause doesn't have to be the end of you building muscle, maintaining a healthy metabolism, or feeling energized. Dr. Sims teaches us that once you understand your physiology, you can work with it– not against it. And you can optimize your health to reverse your inner age. 
We’ll dive deep into her cutting-edge research on women's physiology and how we can adopt crucial lifestyle strategies so we don't have to become a statistic– because we’re so much more than that.
A strong metabolic foundation lets me show up as my best self for my family and myself. And to get metabolically healthy, you need to support your body with nourishment, movement, stress management, and quality sleep. 
Lucky for you, Dr. Sims and I discuss all of this– and so much more in this podcast!
So join Dr. Sims and me to learn how to thrive as women. She’ll give you the tools you need to exercise for strength and enhance your metabolic health– at any age. 
Plus, if you love all the knowledge she shares and are interested in learning even more, I highly recommend her book Next Level. I've read it twice so far, and it’s a valuable guide that will span decades. 
Because even throughout these 40+ years, we're going to constantly evolve and change. So having this kind of research can help us navigate our body’s changes with ease and grace. 
Press play on this podcast now to learn how to enhance your metabolic health– and feel like yourself in your body again! 

Dr. Stacy Sims 
Dr. Stacey Sims is an international exercise physiologist and nutritional scientist. She aims to revolutionize exercise, nutrition, and performance for women.
While at Stanford, she had the chance to translate her early research into consumer products and a science-based book called Roar. Roar was written to explain sex differences in training and nutrition across the health span and lifespan of women. Both the consumer products and the book challenge the existing dogma for women in exercise, nutrition, and health. 
Her newest book, Next Level, focuses on how women can navigate menopause with strength, endurance, and energy.
