In this episode of Live Well, Be Well, I sit down with Dr. Stacy Sims, who joins us all the way from New Zealand, to debunk the biggest myths surrounding women’s health. This conversation is all about understanding why “women are not small men” and why so much generic health advice—fasting, calorie counting, and trendy fitness routines—can actually do more harm than good for women. We discuss everything from the role of protein in a woman’s diet to the truth about Zone 2 training and the risks of Ozempic. Dr. Sims highlights why women need to stop trying to fit into the male-centric fitness and health narrative and instead focus on what truly works for our unique physiology. This is an episode every woman needs to hear—and one to share with the women you care about. What You’ll Learn:Why women need health advice tailored to their physiology, not based on men’s studies.Why fasting may be detrimental to active women.The crucial role of protein in supporting women’s hormones, metabolism, and lean muscle.How Zone 2 training fits into a woman’s workout routine—and why it’s not the “golden child” for women’s health.How oral contraceptives can affect your mood, health, and performance.The truth about Ozempic and why quick fixes for weight loss are risky.
