# Introduction to Stacy T. Sims, MSC, PhD
Stacy T. Sims, MSC, PhD is an internationally renowned exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who is dedicated to revolutionizing exercise nutrition and performance for women. She has held research positions at Stanford, AUT University, and the University of Waikato, focusing on female athlete health and performance and advocating for improved research on all women. During her tenure at Stanford, she developed consumer products and wrote the science-based book, ROAR, to explain the differences in training and nutrition between men and women. In her famous TEDx talk, “Women Are Not Small Men”, she discusses the need for a paradigm shift in the way women approach exercise, nutrition, and health.
# Training Methods for Everyday Women
Dr. Sims believes that training methods for women should be tailored to the individual, and not based on the training methods used by professional athletes. She emphasizes the importance of listening to your body and understanding your own unique needs when it comes to exercise. She also encourages women to create a personalized training program that works for them, rather than trying to follow a “one-size-fits-all” approach.
# Should Women Be Taking Exogenous Hormones?
Dr. Sims does not recommend taking exogenous hormones for the purpose of improving performance or health. She believes that it is important to understand the role of hormones in the body, and to work with a healthcare provider to ensure that any hormones taken are necessary and appropriate.
# Maintaining Fitness During Menopause
Dr. Sims advocates for a holistic approach to menopause and recommends focusing on the “big three”: nutrition, sleep, and exercise. She emphasizes the importance of eating a balanced diet, getting adequate sleep, and engaging in regular physical activity. She also recommends incorporating strength training into your routine to help maintain muscle mass and bone density.
# Can Your Health Get Better With Age?
Dr. Sims believes that health can improve with age, and that it is never too late to make positive changes. She recommends eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise, and managing stress in order to stay healthy and active. She also encourages women to seek out resources and support from healthcare professionals, such as nutritionists and exercise physiologists, to ensure that their health is on the right track.

She has directed research programs at Stanford, AUT University, and the University of Waikato, focusing on female athlete health and performance and pushing the dogma to improve research on all women. During her tenure at Stanford, she had the opportunity to translate earlier research into consumer products and a science-based layperson’s book (ROAR) written to explain sex differences in training and nutrition across the lifespan. Both the consumer products and the book challenged the existing dogma for women in exercise, nutrition, and health. This paradigm shift is the focus of her famous “Women Are Not Small Men” TEDx talk.
