2 小时 28 分钟Welcome to the Huberman Lab podcast, where.
We discuss science and science based tools for everyday life.
I'm Andrew Huberman and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.
My guest today is Doctor Stacy Sims.
Doctor Stacy Sims is an exercise physiologist and a nutrition scientist and a world expert in all things training and nutrition specifically for women.
In addition to working at Stanford and with numerous professional athletic teams, Doctor Sims has authored more than 100 peer reviewed studies on exercise physiology.
She has not only evaluated existing protocols for nutrition and fitness that are specific to women versus men, but she has also developed many new protocols that are now in practice with professional sports teams, but that can also serve people who are generally interested in fitness and longevity.
And in doing so, the general public the tools that doctor Sims shares with us today are applicable to fitness, to changing your body composition, and to overall health.
Today, we discuss how hormones and hormone cycles impact nutrition and fitness needs, specifically in women of different ages.
We, of course, discuss the menstrual cycle, perimenopause, and menopause, but also female specific nutrition and training as it relates to things independent of hormones.
For instance, we evaluate the evidence that women may not want to train fasted and the reasons for that.
We talk about how training might vary according to different phases of the menstrual cycle, and we discuss how women can design nutrition and training programs that are optimized for their specific needs, not just because they are women, but because they are women of a particular stage of life and women with particular goals.
As you'll soon see, doctor Sims is exquisitely skilled at explaining the human universals of nutrition and training, that is, the things that do not differ men and women and their needs in terms of nutrition and training.
But she is also exquisitely skilled at highlighting the data showing that there are specific areas of nutrition and fitness for which women and men differ, and women have specific needs.
So today you will learn what those are, and you will learn how to apply those specific protocols such that by the end of today's episode, you will be armed with a tremendous amount of new knowledge about the biological mechanisms and the specific do's and do nots that can guide you towards your female specific health and fitness goals.
Before you begin, I'd like to emphasize that this podcast is separate from my teaching and research roles at Stanford.
It is, however, part of my desire and effort to bring zero cost to consumer information about science and science related tools to the general public.
In keeping with that theme, I'd like to thank the sponsors of today's podcast.
Our first sponsor is Maui Nui Venison Maui Nui Venison is the most nutrient dense and delicious red meat available.
I've spoken many times before on this and other podcasts and with several expert guests on this podcast about the fact that most of us should be seeking to get about 1 gram of high quality protein per pound of body weight every day.
