About

Hi, I’m Dr. Stacy Sims! Welcome to my official YouTube channel. My vision is a world of healthy women who understand their bodies, know how to work with their unique physiology, know their periods are ergogenic aids and create positivity around being a woman in sport. Together we can shift the destructive narrative and elevate women in research, science, and sport.

Video Description

How does intermittent fasting affect women’s hormones and metabolism compared to men’s? In this discussion with Andrew Huberman, I talk about the impact of fasting on women’s metabolic flexibility, cortisol levels, and training performance. Could fasting be causing more stress than benefits, especially for women in perimenopause? Learn why aligning eating windows with the body’s circadian rhythm may lead to better health outcomes.
