Did you know most fitness advice for women is based on male scientific research? Women are not small men! Discover why standard workout and diet advice is failing half the population. For decades, female physiology has been completely ignored in exercise and nutrition science. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, Dr Mark Hyman sits down with leading exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist Dr. Stacy Sims to unpack exactly why treating women's health like "small men" is a recipe for burnout, weight gain, gender equality and hormonal chaos in women health care. We dive deep into how your metabolism, gut microbiome, and muscle function shift in your 30s, 40s, and beyond—and how to adjust your routine to thrive. From the incredible brain-boosting power of lifting heavy weights to the exact protocol for true High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) for women, Dr. Sims reveals the science-backed strategies you need to protect your long-term health. Plus, we cover the biggest nutrition mistakes women make, why common intermittent fasting windows might be working against you, and the game-changing reason you should never train on an empty stomach (and why protein coffee might just be your new best friend). Adjusting how you train and eat can make a massive difference in your energy and strength—watch the full episode to find out how! #WomensHealth #FitnessForWomen #DrStacySims #HormoneBalance #longevity If you’re interested in learning more, Dr. Stacy Sims is offering my listeners 15% off her online courses with the code DRSTACYSIMS15OFF. **The waitlist is open** Sign up for Dr. Hyman’s Brainshaping Academy to learn how to nourish the biological systems that support your mental, emotional, and cognitive health -https://drhyman.com/pages/brainshaping-academy-waitlist?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=YouTube&utm_campaign=brainshaping-waitlist View Show Notes From This Episode https://drhyman.com/blogs/content/podcast-ep1141 Get Free Weekly Health Tips from Dr. Hyman https://drhyman.com/pages/picks?utm_campaign=shownotes&utm_medium=banner&utm_source=podcast Sign Up for Dr. Hyman’s Weekly Longevity Journal https://drhyman.com/pages/longevity?utm_campaign=shownotes&utm_medium=banner&utm_source=podcast Join the 10-Day Detox to Reset Your Health https://drhyman.com/pages/10-day-detox Join the Hyman Hive for Expert Support and Real Results https://drhyman.com/pages/hyman-hive This episode is brought to you by Rho, Pique, Perfect Amino, Sunlighten, Korrus and Made In Cookware.
