0:00We have a culture that actually has ignored women in the research field.

0:03You have this great line, which is women are not small men.

0:07What the hell does that mean?

0:08But 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.

0:13Almost all the stuff you know with exercise and nutrition has been based on male data and generalized to women.

0:20What are the nutrition mistakes that women are making mostly now?

0:22And they're listening to all the fat 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?

0:30How do I respond?

0:32When am I hungry?

0:33You're not going crazy.

0:34You're just being compared against the wrong baseline.

0:36We need to stop the rhetoric of old is frail.

0:50That's a wellness meeting with themselves.

0:52For longevity, you have your genetic code, but it doesn't have to dictate what's happening.

0:56Dr.

0:56Stacey Sims is a leading exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist whose research focuses on sex differences in training, nutrition, and health, particularly for women.
