Same story!

[@vestalingvyte4634]

I used to feel overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice out there, especially since much of it is based on male-focused research. I experimented with fasting, more protein, eating in the morning-you name it-but nothing clicked until I realized two things: every woman is different, and we need to experiment to find what works for us. Letting go of the stress to 'do it right' made me healthier and happier. Plus, much advice targets already healthy women. For me, the key was healing my gut first. Listen to your body, try what resonates, and trust your results!

[@Sarah-Gee]

Brilliant conversation! I feel like a stalker as I am following Dr Stacy Sims wherever she’s a podcast guest! 😄

[@livewellbewellsarah]

We have another conversation with Stacy tomorrow - what would you like to ask!

[@Sarah-Gee]

@@livewellbewellsarahHi Sarah! Thank you for this wonderful opportunity. So, I am 50 years old recently post menopausal (completed 12 months without my periods; I don’t know why this sounds like an achievement! 😄). Felt really horrible, was not functioning properly so went on HRT (Estradiol gel and micronised progesterone tablet) and it changed my life. However, I had noticed a gradual but noticeable decrease in strength in perimenopause, I could not find the energy when gardening and other household chores. When I hit menopause, I saw a noticeable loss of muscle in my shoulders area, it kind of shrunk! I swim for fitness once a week and developed frozen shoulders which seemed to have improved but not 💯 with HRT. I have recently started practicing Yoga and Pilates on a daily basis. I learned from your guest Dr Stacy that I should be doing resistance training and weight lifting. My question is: since I feel such weakness in my arms shoulders area, do I need to first check the reason for my sarcopenia before I adopt these exercise routines or will the exercises by themselves help me gain my muscles back eventually? I am worried that I will end up injuring myself as I don’t have the strength to lift meaningful weights. Does Dr Stacy recommend testing and supplementing with testosterone or DHEA in cases such as mine? I am sure there many other women in my boat! Also, I am big on protein intake and will add a protein drink (any good one you know of?) as per Dr Stacy’s recommendations as one can only eat so much! 😉 Thank you so much and I wish you health! 🙏

[@Sarah-Gee]

OMG I feel like I've been brainwashed over the last few years with intermittent fasting and various food eating options (yeah, by bro culture). Great information. I was watching a KZbin by Laura Try which busted a few diet/exercise/health myths and led me to Dr Stacy, which led me to this channel. Awesome show - such good, common sense 30/30/30, exactly how I used to eat before being brainwashed in trying to lose 20 lbs. Will definitely watch this channel again.

[@New-York-Attitude]

High protein is where it’s at! I started on a high-protein diet of 115 to 130 g of protein per day six months ago and 15 pounds came off just like that at the age of 60. I had just been through a family crisis and I wasn’t exercising either unfortunately. I have whey protein in my coffee and casein and shake at night. My sleep has improved. My muscle tone has improved. I started lifting weights a few months ago. And I eat carbs and cookies every now and then.

[@laurabrewer3702]

Healthy gut does need fiber so short term your gut might not be getting irritated but longterm you will probably be doing more harm. I would urge you to talk with a gastroenterologist to try and heal your gut and reintegrate fiber into your diet. It is really important for long term health.

Honestly love this content and have been following Dr Sims. I take issue with her use of the term “cis” women in this episode - I have watched her a ton and haven’t heard her use this term which is an ideological and unscientific reference. She correctly emphasizes the metabolic sex differences between women and men and references this constantly in her work. Dr Sims, I am sure that you know that there are no “cis women” only women!

[@Coffee_is_ready]

Constantly referencing may. Be unnecessary. But I would assume that there are difference between women with the female sex and women born male sex, aka trans women. Their challenges may be different from either cis men or cis women. Especially, if the ate on hormones, it makes a scientific differnence.

[@Coffee_is_ready]

Of course, you could continue to argue that not all women are the same. There are enough auto-immune and hormonal challenges, e.g., pcos that makes on thing work for one woman but not for the other.

[@gyongyigeluhygren4727]

I am a 43 year old woman who works out. I listen to quite some podcasts on the subjects of glucose, caffeine, hormones, fasting, how oatmilk for example is just starch and highly processed, cleaner eating etc. I am a bit confused why you would say: Eat within 30 min after waking up? What about melatonine? What about trying not to intake caffeine within the first 1-2 hours after waking up? What about the big glucose spikes that just promote cravings during the day etc? Hopefully I get some answers later on in this podcast…😊

[@brendawells1813]

Maybe do your own podcast with your own reserch * bedt wishes

[@artschool673]

I think that no rule fits everyone. In other words, you gotta find what works for your own body. I have fasted a few times (not intermitent fasting, but 5-day fastings and they did wonders for me). I think that intermitent fasting and caring for your glucose spikes will show their benefits in the long run. Well, so basically the best advice is do what works for you and makes you feel good. Good luck Edit: protein powder makes me have stomach discomfort. Also, eating megaprocessed stuff (and protein powder could not be more processed) I dont think that it is a good idea. Do not trust everything you hear.

The hardest is for female life long obesity like me. 2 years old to 63 years old. I’ve fought my whole life and still have 60 lbs to lose. Your descriptions are for regular people, not me. What you say is what I did and gained weight every single time (or sabatoged my weight loss). Oh I felt great as I put the weight on with 30 -30-40. Mind you, perfect diets, no processed foods, no sugar, honey or other sugars. Only stevia and occassional erythritol. Allulose gave me headaches. 30-30-40 and couldn’t give me enough energy to make it through the day. 4 hour a day training caused severely enlarged heart. Hiit with mild intensity 3 times a week keeps me going. I’ve reversed my diabetes (unless I eat above 50 grams of carbs a day). I am fat intolerant also. It is amazing I have no mental health issues and have had a very successful life. Wonderful marriage for 44 years so far. No birth control and 2 children. I hope what you say does actually help others out there. My Bmi is not high enough for weight loss shots (29).

I love and respect how honest and straightforward dr. Sims is. This is what women need. Not only her science and experience but her example. That being said, how do you get enough whole amino acid profile protein with with a predominantly plantbased diet, and is the 1.6gr per kg of bodyweight the actual bodyweight or the optimal bodyweight? I’m assuming the first bc we have little data to establish an optimal bodyweight.

I always understood it to be lean bodyweight, so our weight without the body fat. Obviously you'd have to work out how much of your total weight is fat, first.

Good advice 👍 and I love the quote " Woman are not small men" but I have been obsessed with KZbin and advice for and against fasting... and have tried every every suggestion over the years and have had good and bad results following different advice... I will and from now on... gain all the tools I can... and stick with the quote... " we are not all made equal" and " not all.one size fits all." Every single one of us is different, and we have to do what works for us as an individual... I feel like my head is going to explode when I come on to KZbin. Find something that works ( give it time to see results ) and stick to that and change it up when needed.... enough with conflicking advice.... it's hard enough for some people without conflicking advice every single second of every day!!!!

[@over40nfab]

intermittent fasting changed the game for me - gained 35 pounds during menopause in like 6 months was freaking crazy had been on acid meds for reflux for years and was insulin resistant - fat was all belly - I’m almost 3 years in and I fasted the first year 18/6 then went to typically 16/8 / I eat quality food targeting good macros. I dropped the weight the first year and stopped the acid meds within 6 months. I did start hormone replacement as well. / I’m focusing deliberately on strength training and continuing to understand the importance of my nutrition - the standard American diet is absolute garbage on every level.

[@teresarommel]

If you started hormones then you can’t exactly credit it to fasting. Hormones will make a huge difference.

[@over40nfab]

@ sorry my post wasn’t specific - I had already been on hrt for a couple years before I began fasting - hormones indeed make a huge difference and sets the baseline for success but IF turned the corner for me

Thank you for this info - it has answered a few questions that have been pending for a long time - no consultants / GPs have responded - not considering it to be their area of expertees/interest. An observation: I'm noticing quite a high number of post menopausal women are watching this and commenting. I would really appreciate some more focus on this age group - looking at both diet and exercise to maximise our quality of life. I feel that I am patching together information like a big research jigsaw - there are still quite a few blanks.

[@VioletsAreBlue-j4j]

I love all of this information and read all of Stacy's books, content, and follow her! I am a very fit and healthy 55 and do strength training with a trainer 3 days a week. I am definitely eating enough calories (making sure to hit all my macros) every day (use a Cronometer tracker, In Body, Oura ring...) but my visceral fat has steadily increased and on my limbs. Every week I do yoga, barre, pole dancing, cycling, HIIT, walking too. Both my trainer and I are at a loss as to why I am gaining weight and fat so much instead of body re-comping and hypertrophy. I am 6 months in and it isn't changing.

[@marygunn7417]

Menopause

[@empresslove2120]

I thinks it’s good to research multiple sources in relation to fasting protocols for women, Our bodies are highly intelligent, If we have enough stored glycogen and fat our body will burn through these fuels before it eats at our lean tissue. If our body fat is above 20% it has no reason to pick muscle over glycogen or fatty tissue. I don’t think fasting encourages us to become insulin resistant because fasting for 14+ hours keeps our blood sugar lower, that injunction with resistance training actually increases the chances of us holding onto our muscles. What we must be aware of is decreasing strength if we become weaker or unable to increase our resistance load/volume that’s a signal we need more calories from nutrient rich food. Fasting increases HGH (human growth hormone) and insulin when we eat helps with muscle gains. As we loose weight our lean tissue will shrink due to water loss but that doesn’t mean we have lost lean tissue, our metabolism will also adjust to our weight as we get leaner so fewer calories will be required that don’t mean our metabolism is slow it’s just done what we have trained it to do by consuming less energy. Many women have experienced positive results from fasting along with resistance training, they’re dexa scans reports have revealed fat loss and lean tissue increases so everyone is different there are so many factors involved, age, diet, activity, strength, medication, menopause, stress levels, health issues so it’s really important to look at all these factors before we rule out anything. 😊

[@maxlogan1608]

Right on the nose!!

[@robinmorgan2713]

We need more long term data on women re: fasting. Fasting is a stress on the body. Indigenous, especially, nomadic folk had cyclical food availability. Even ag a hundred or so years ago was not non fasted, so, yes, the body can do it and survive and even reproduce if the min is available, but I'm not yet convinced a year round daily fasting routine is healthy long term.

My youtube feed fed me a thumbnail that said, "you don't need carbohydrate, its a myth." It was a woman pushing this. Was complete nonsense. Stacy Sims is my women's fitness guru. I workout harder and ate less and gained weight. For 6 months I followed Sims model of more strength and less cardio and focusing on getting enough protein and I lost weight but gained strength.

[@CozyPiper]

23:50-high protein, low carb diets have been around forever. They were super popular in the 70’s and again in the early 2000’s. The “Protein Power” books in the nineties were extremely popular, and they hold up really well science-wise. Protein Power required counting protein grams per pound of lean mass, and emphasized non-processed food. The headlines emphasize the low carbs, but the books emphasize high protein. Atkins knew years before everyone else that cholesterol in food doesn’t cause high cholesterol, and that butter was better than the margarine that was pushed on us in the 70’s and 80’s. I still stand by the Protein Power recommendations, and a lot of Atkins’.

[@Shuffletraveler]

[@saskhiker3935]

Don't increase you weight all at once so your body adjusts to heavier shorter reps. Work your way up. Increase weight incrementally. Focus on quality over quantity. As for hill workouts. Try shorter more intense running sprints in middle of walk but only go for a 45 Minute walk. Still do your 4 miles walks but do it 2-3 days a week. Add the sprints or intense jump rope intervals. Try cutting your weights to 2-3 times a week to give your body more of a chance to recover. It's recovery that matters. With age weights 3 times a week may not give you enough recovery time. Stacy talks a lot about power and strength and less cardio. So try and mix up your workouts. Less cardio days more power like jumping, sprinting. I added the jumping to build bone strength that older women need.

Great conversation! Thanks!!

So happy to have found women who are working to separate the chaffe from the wheat where the major male pundits refuse to even consider the possibility of how we may respond differently, say when it comes to the carnivore diet for instance but unfortunately it is not just the men who refuse to tease out this subject.

[@simonacousino82]

if I use bone broth protein to load my coffee in the morning prior workout, does that count ? they say that bone broth protein doesn't have a complete amino acid profile, and so it doesn't count thouards your daily protein intake .

[@rebeccajordan3732]

Hmm, I’d like to know more about this, as well.

[@nutech1810]

This is true

[@rosamundperry]

I'm using collagen in coffee buy conscious it's not like other dietary protein

[@nrbeck1]

I'm pretty sure as long as you have a variety of other protein sources, you'll hit your total amino acid goals for the day. So if that is how you get your first protein and it is what you can consistently do, keep doing it.

[@bethra.flowers]

❤ Thank you!

[@PVVI2015]

Great information! And from my 76 years of being a very active woman, I know that Stacy is so very right! I follow her recommendations and they’re working for me! I have 5 “daughters” and 8 granddaughters (and 5 “sons” plus 5 grandsons). I know they’re all watching us age and will learn from us, both the negatives and the positives! Fortunately we’re both heathy, fit and active! And, I know they like that for many reasons, including that we’re not needy😏 As I listen to you two talk, I am so delighted my girls will have the information, support and courage to become the strong, healthy, happy women I know they can be! And that my boys/men will have knowledge and respect for women’s health that wasn’t apparent in my generation! Much gratitude🙏

[@AmandaBuxbaum]

What is a “son”?

[@marijaprokic1560]

Can I use essential amino acids suplement and omega 3 first thing in the morning as replacement for that 15g of protein??

[@michy2630]

This was terrific. I never heard of Stacy Sims. I just started following her. I'm 53 and usually do a 12 hr fast. I shoot for 90-100g protein/day. I'm 125lbs. I wake up hungry and always want & crave a challah roll when I get down to my kitchen. Is this bc I didn't have enough protein the day before? Ido if Stacy is looking at these comments but would love to know what she thinks. Subscribed to this channel. Thank you

[@banjohole]

you can have your challah bread, just add a protein source with it. 😊

[@michy2630]

@banjohole good point. I was wondering why I always crave a carb when I wake up. I think I need the protein more but craving the bread carb

[@saskhiker3935]

If your an older woman your body has more trouble metablizing protein, so you need more protein. Try and shoot for 1 gram of protein per pound of your ideal body weight.

[@brendawells1813]

​@@banjoholeive leaned we should not eat meat with bread (at same meal )

[@brendawells1813]

*Although its Not like it has to be meat for protien

[@maryjo5518]

I would love to know what protein (I assume a powder) she puts in her coffee (?)

[@gillmolony6781]

A friend of 39 years has been diagnosed with POI and has been put on a hormone patch of 100units she also takes an oral bio identical progesterone. This is to stop bone loss, cancer, dementia etc. I wondered if there was another way?

[@abbiemorris3433]

My friends and I, women, call zone 2, the cocktail hour.; nice sweat where and you can chat all day while you bike, hike or walk/ run briskly.

[@missygee6155]

So as i'm sitting here watching the video comments keep popping up but when I click on the particular comment, It's nowhere to be found. Happened 3 times. Thoughts? Instructions on how to find them? Also, honey, no matter how its processed is still sugar and most menopausal, women or anybody with insulin resistance should not touch it. In addition, I'd rather have a steak, or bacon and eggs for breakfast(or first meal) which is much more beneficial and satiating than any processed protein powder. Also, anything oat related is highly inflammatory. Finally, intermittent and long-term fasting works for me and as I see in the comments that actually ARE visible, for other women as well.

[@rosamoreno4794]

I am 47 and my ideal breakfast is 2 ounces/56 grams of lean ground Turkey scrambled with 2 eggs and 2-3 egg whites (satiety in the AM) and is high protein. Works for me! I also get 25-32 grams of fiber per day and it keeps my poops regular and normal.

[@samlab2935]

its funny because i remember fasting long time ago and kinda feel shitty and i went to a coach to have a diet guide she made me eat sooo much (good food) and i lost like 10 lbs in one month or 2 cant remember ! i knew she was onto something !

[@christineillgen9249]

I think fasting for women has to be cycled with menstruation. Saying fasting for all women is bad is not correct - it is more nuanced.

[@susansange]

Great conversation and I really appreciate how nuanced and intelligent you are Sarah Ann, so I hate to bring up one little point. Vocal fry is like nails on a chalkboard for me. I really love your content, but I may not be able to continue listening because I don’t know if you realize you slip into vocal fry so frequently. If this doesn’t bother anyone else, my apologies for bringing it up. I just thought you might want the feedback.

[@dpolina1]

Any advice to someone who had their gallbladder removed and can't digest so much food even with digestive supplements? Is it simply accepting you can't have optimal health anymore?

[@katniss4670]

I’m on Mounjaro and it’s the only thing that has helped me lose fat in ten years since menopause. I know I’m losing fat because it is coming off my abdomen, and it has not been rapid , approximately 1/2 pound or less per week .

[@jennysiepka9900]

Love her. Th u🎉

[@jolitasegur251]

I am still not sure about the protein intake. Stacy said 1.6g per kilo. Let’s say I am 74 kg but my lean body mass is 55. Should I take protein based on lean body mass or my full weight?

[@itsmeowornever.8143]

119 grams of protein a day.

[@52tazdi]

Wondering if you could make suggestions not using dairy

[@amyjohanningsmeier5563]

Thank you!!! Can you explain the 10 minute jump rope routine for bone strength? Is it 10 minutes continual jumping or 30 seconds on/30 off, etc?

Dr Sims. How can we fix our microbiom? My daughter broke out with horrible acne at 17 when she has never had it before. We were told her microbiom is messed up and it taking gut meds but with no improvement.

[@readaloudkids1407]

1. Take probiotic supplements. 2. Eat probiotic foods like yogurt and kefir. 3. Eat a large variety of foods every week. Even a few bites of a new food will improve gut health. But I don’t mean a new bread or packaged food. I mean a new fruit or vegetable or meat. Increasing variety strengthens your gut bacteria. I eat a little of each of these things every week and my gut health has improved immensely! -almonds-pecans-walnuts-pistachios-apples-bananas-avocados-chia seeds-flax seeds-pumpkin-blueberries-blackberries-raspberries-strawberries-broccoli-cauliflower-carrots-spinach-chard-lettuce-celery-garlic-ginger-chicken-chicken broth-beef-tuna-salmon-eggs And here are some I throw in once a month or so: grapefruit, dates, grapes, bell peppers, Brussels sprouts, corn, edamame, sweet potato, chick peas, black beans, cantaloupe 4. Might want to take an acid supplement- the kind that actually builds stomach acid, not reduces it. Sometimes we are not getting nutrients from the food we eat because we are not digesting it well enough because our stomach acid was low. That was what happened to me.

[@llr1961]

I’m guessing if you are post menopausal, this advice could be different? I have been doing intermittent fasting for a while now, and it seems for me the best way to maintain a good weight. It’s hard for me to get enough protein in, so could do better there.

[@Mimi-ss3xx]

The only reason why the have a problem with fasting is because it’s free. They can patent fasting

[@brendailkhanipour7556]

It is very difficult when you can’t lift more than 20 lbs because of a spine disc herniation surgery. How do I not get frustrated. I’m thinking of doing ropes and different areas. Ty.

What about the woman who is 100 pounds overweight? What is worse? Obesity or fasting?

[@carnicavegirl7214]

I fast because it's the only thing that gets me out of pain, 😭

Instinctually, I knew fasting was detrimental to me and never bought into the whole concept as a post-menopausal woman.
