310: No "meno belly!" Nutrition & Exercise in Perimenopause - Dr. Stacy Sims [PART 1]

Women are not small men. We have different needs as we age.

As women age, we experience additional hormonal changes associated with perimenopause and menopause. These changes can affect energy levels, body composition, and overall well-being.

Dr. Stacy Sims' work has been revolutionary in empowering women to understand and embrace our unique physiology so we can continue feeling strong and vital in the years between childbirth and menopause.

In this episode:

  • Changes in exercise during peri / menopause
  • Strength versus cardio training for women
  • Why Zone 2 training is not ideal for women
  • How to avoid belly weight gain ("meno-pot") in perimenopause
  • Sleep disturbances and hypoglycemia
  • Debunking the misconception that carbohydrates should be limited or avoided
  • Weighing in on nutrition, eg protein, carbs, creatine, BCAA/amino acids, collagen
  • Protein tips for vegan athletes and the importance of spacing out protein intake throughout the day
  • What to do about feeling overwhelmingly achy and tired
  • Creatine - why 3g a day may be useful for women across all ages
