Show notes
Today’s guest on pod is Dr. Stacy Sims, making her third appearance. Rather than delving into typical educational and scientific topics, this episode takes a more personal approach. With Stacy having been on 292 podcasts in the past year, I wanted to shift the focus to what’s currently happening in her work and world and what "playing to win" means to her as a woman, athlete, mother, and scientist.
Key Takeaways:
- Insights into Stacy’s current projects and endeavours.
- The decision to revise ‘ROAR’ and the notable changes in version 2.0.
- Collaborative efforts aimed at educating women on strength training.
- Advocacy for gender equality in youth athletics and sports in schools.
- New scientific findings regarding creatine and its impact on women.
- Adapting training strategies across various life stages, particularly in response to hormonal changes.
- Utilisation of technology, such as ‘smart tampons,’ for early detection of health issues.
- Groundbreaking research on using menstrual fluid as a diagnostic tool to improve women’s healthcare accessibility.
- Personal anecdotes on balancing training, business, and family responsibilities, with insights into prioritising self-care and achieving balance.
- The importance of balancing rigorous training with adequate rest, nutrition, and recovery for overall well-being.
