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

Does cycle syncing or menstrual cycle phase-based training actually work? Dr. Stacy Sims returns with new science that challenges the popular advice about training in your high and low hormone phases. Do you really need to change your workouts throughout your menstrual cycle? What if you’re not ovulating? And how can you train for performance if your cycle is inconsistent? Watch now to learn what the latest research says about phase-based training, and why your own cycle patterns matter more than any trend Want to go deeper?
