In this episode, I break down the recent debate between Dr. Stacy Sims and Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple on women’s strength training, nutrition, and performance. We dive into why their advice sometimes seems contradictory—and the key insight that they’re actually speaking to different populations of women.
I cover:
How heavy vs. moderate weight training works for different women
What current research says about hormones and training cycles
Fasted training—what’s okay and what’s not for women
Nutrient timing and why it matters (or doesn’t!)
