Women Are Not Small Men! Why Fitness Advice Is Failing Half the Population | Dr. Stacy Sims

Here we have a culture that actually has ignored women in the research field. You have this great line which is women are not small men. What the hell does that mean? But we're told that we just need to do what the men are doing, but we're still not getting the same gains that the men are. Almost all the stuff you know with exercise and nutrition has been based on male data and generalized to women.

What are the nutrition mistakes that women are making mostly now? And they're listening to all the fad diets and they're listening to the rhetoric that's on social media and they're not really paying attention to okay who am I how do I respond when am I hungry you're not going crazy you're just being compared against the wrong baseline we need to stop the rhetoric of old Israel what you're basically saying is that by lifting heavy weights for women it slows down Alzheimer's risk the very first thing I tell every woman to do is to put some hard meetings in their calendar. It's a wellness meeting with themselves.
