145. Smart Nutrition & Training for Women: Fasted Workouts, Post-Exercise Recovery & More with Dr. Stacey Sims
Episode 145
Tuesday, 22 April, 2025
In today’s episode of Leanne Ward Nutrition, I’m thrilled to welcome Dr. Stacey Sims, a pioneer in female physiology and performance. A lot has happened since she first joined the podcast almost five years ago, and in this follow-up, we’re diving deep into the latest science on how women can train, fuel, and recover smarter—whether you’re in your prime, perimenopausal, or navigating post-baby life. We’ll cover: Fasted Training for Women: Why it may not be the best strategy for fat loss and how a small amount of protein can improve your workout. Pre-Exercise Nutrition: Why protein is key for everyone, not just those in perimenopause or menopause. Creatine: Why this powerhouse supplement should be a go-to for women of all ages and life stages. Post-Workout Recovery: The importance of getting nutrients within the ideal window for optimal results. Magnesium, Collagen & Adaptogens: Supplements that can help with everything from better sleep to joint health. Saunas and Cold Plunges: When to use heat for performance and metabolic benefits—and why they work differently for women. Dr. Stacey shares evidence-based insights that will empower you to train and recover like a pro, using science to optimize your body’s natural rhythms. Whether you’re a busy mum, a gym-goer, or working through hormonal changes, this episode is packed with actionable tips for feeling your best.
