I have been working with female clients for 30 years and from experience I can say nothing drives the message home for a woman better than hearing it from another woman who looks the part. I am thrilled to see Dr. Stacy Sims out here on these social media platforms dispelling myths and spreading the true gospel of fitness.
We welcome and thank you for sharing your personal and professional opinion. I am also a fitness professional and a 40plus fitness specialist and work mostly with women. I find being a woman at the age of 58 and looking and being the part helps so many other women feel encouraged for their own journey. It’s so easy for them to say “well you’re a man it’s easier for you!” But I give you complete applause for working with women and supporting them!! Thx again! Co-host Raquel/ Functional Moms Podcast
This dialog with Dr. Sims came as a blessing! Just recently celebrated 61st birthday and feeling lost at how to take care of my health, energy levels, focus. This gave me so much value, thank you!
We so appreciate you sharing. What other topics do you think would be helpful to you in this season of your life? We are working to provide more value.
This video is packed with great info. I have been doing heavy weights for a long time, changed to moderate weights last summer and it's not working (I'm 44). It's so true - after 40 you need to be lifting heavy and doing intense intervals too. Thanks for the motivation, I'm heading back to heavy weights :)
I love being strong and flexible as I age; feeling energetic, as well. I find it amazing that the women of Betty White’s generation lived into their 90’s without “all this knowledge” we now supposedly have. Just interesting. Betty White, along with so many others in her generation, stayed sharp-minded and thrived and continued to work. Greatest generation, indeed.
helpful. thanks. Menopause is a game changer. I went within several months of doing lunges at the gym and not being able to keep my balance while doing them. Not a strength issue there but a balance one. All ear stuff checked out. It was menopause.
Thank you for sharing! It’s amazing how little menopause has been discussed. There are so many ways it impacts our bodies and yet we aren’t made aware.
So much great advice, thank you. I’ve found heavy lifting an absolute game changer! Firing up my CNS sends the loudest signals to my body…I can feel it mentally and physically…it changes everything.
Thank you, Dr. Sims for such great and very helpful information. I'm a 47-year-old female and and I think Ii have been going through perimenopause for the past few years. I have not confirmed that though. I really don't know how to confirm that .I've been strength training for 10 plus years and recently have not been able to lose that stubborn belly fat .although I do know I have to work on my nutrition. but this has been so very helpful. I will be checking your website out , so thank you.💪
Yep I did the sprint interval, ran up my driveway. Plan was to do about 4 sets of 30sec and 2 min rest. I was able to do 2, before felt like my legs had nothing left. Strange feeling. Not tired or low blood sugar shake feeling just nothing there to move my legs with. So called it a day. I already lift heavy three days a week as hubby is an elite athlete strength trainer so writes my programs, so now I am doing this sprint interval work with around three to four days rest in between
Thank you! I was thinking to begin sprint interval ,too. But I wondered how frequent can you do it în a week...So you pause 3-4 days în betwwen. Do you do other exercices before SIIT în that day or just SIIT?
Some Drs. adviced to do zone 2, and this said it's not the way. So confusing 🥴. Weighted vest does not increase bone density? I just bought a weighted vest because it says it increases bone density. 🤯😤😩 Maybe Dr. Sims and Dr Marie Claire Haver should have a debate. Both conflicting advice
Please advise: I wake up at 4:00am Wan to workout at 5:00am So should I eat something at 4:15 am before the workout? I’m never hungry in the morning. But according to you I should eat for circadian rhythm
Wait - She says tucking (walking with weight) is not good for bone density?! This is the only time/person i’ve heard say that. I’d really like to understand why she thinks so.
Super informative! How could one get 30 grams of Lysine post workout on a Whole-foods plant based diet (No animal products)? Thank you for your thoughts and advice!
I think she said high leucine (not lysine), which is around 3g of leucine within 30g total protein (not 30g leucine or lysine). My pea protein powder doesn't list individual amino acid content but some do. I don't (can't) do dairy either though I eat some animal protein so maybe you have to look up some protein powders (some still get certified as whole food), otherwise look up high-leucine plant foods I guess. I think she gave the dairy example as the branched chain amino acids she mentioned (leucine , isoleucine, valine) are often supplemented from whey sources.
Can anyone help me to understand the difference between “lifting heavy” and “pushing to failure”? I lift as heavy as I can, and push to failure (as many reps as I can manage with that weight?). I’m confused about the distinction. Thanks!
This whole thing was so confusing for someone that starting their journey. She mentions so many things it would have been helpful if there was a short demonstration of what she means. Cause otherwise it just sounded as if she was speaking another language.
I am disappointed that the functional moms did not create a scenario with better lighting for Stacey. She is a Fitzpatrick one or two, ginger with skin that is thin and tends to wrinkle early. unfortunately, our culture still judges on appearance and this woman could’ve been given a much better scenario instead of this hard lighting that shows every line and unkindly. Her message is so so important but we need to take these considerations to reduce the noise in peoples minds. Please do better in future.
Thanks for sharing we met up with Dr.Sims at a conference on location and not a studio setting. When we can do better we certainly do better. However take a moment to read the other comments you may notice other women who were actually focused on the strength of her message for us 40 + women and even had comments admiring how strong and confident Dr.Sims is and wears her age boldly. But thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

I am so glad I got to hear dr sims.. brilliant advice .
I love that dr sims looks like a real woman that has some age. She’s gorgeous. She looks like a human not a femme bot.
Agreed! Naturally beautiful and such a kind and intelligent person. We were grateful to learn so much from her.
She reminds me of Bernadette Peters :)
Dr. Stacy SIms is a legend and has done so much for women’s health.
Absolutely, we were thrilled to interview her and hear her speak at the IFM meeting.
I am in my late 50s and struggling. Dr. Sims gives me hope. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing. It’s not easy at all. Thank goodness for Dr. Sims ❤

That's such a good point! Betty White was amazing. She definitely kept moving and working which is inspirational for us.

Dr Stacy Sims please start your own youtube channel❤. Also would love to hear an interview with DrStacy Sims and Dr Felice Gersh MD ObGyn
She has her YT channel www.youtube.com/@DrStacySims
@@Sveckakraljica but there is no content?
So much great advice, thank you. I’ve found heavy lifting an absolute game changer! Firing up my CNS sends the loudest signals to my body…I can feel it mentally and physically…it changes everything.
Yesss! Thanks for sharing. More women need to know this. Thank goodness for Dr. Sims 🙌
Thank you for this! Dr. Sims is so generous with her time! Every time I listen to her I learn something new. ❤
Thanks for your comment! We appreciated her time very much.

Thank you for sharing. It’s not easy and Dr. Sims is a tremendous resource for us women in our 40s and 50s. 😊
I couldn’t find that Bone Jump app 🤷🏻♀️
I’d love to hear Dr Sim’s opinion on Figure Skating jumps as a stimulus for osteosynthesis.
Yep I did the sprint interval, ran up my driveway. Plan was to do about 4 sets of 30sec and 2 min rest.
I was able to do 2, before felt like my legs had nothing left. Strange feeling. Not tired or low blood sugar shake feeling just nothing there to move my legs with. So called it a day.

Thanks for sharing! This is a great example for others--including us. Let us know how it continues for you and what changes you notice if you can!
Thank you! I was thinking to begin sprint interval ,too. But I wondered how frequent can you do it în a week...So you pause 3-4 days în betwwen. Do you do other exercices before SIIT în that day or just SIIT?
Loved this, simple and straightforward advice ❤
So glad this info helps!

Is there a link to the Bone Jump app? I googled and can't find it
We have been trying to get this info. Dr. Sims was traveling this summer. We will definitely update when we find out.
I was looking for this too. Please send.
Yes please share as I couldn’t find it either
Yes, I'd like this too. Can't find it
Yes please do @@functionalmomspodcast
Can you please link the bone jump app mentioned?
We are getting that info and will link and update ASAP. Thanks for your patience.
I couldn't find it in app
I couldn't find bone jump app
@@shonimakaul6873 We haven't forgotten about this! We will get this info and share soon.
@@functionalmomspodcastThank you!
Please advise:
I wake up at 4:00am
Wan to workout at 5:00am
So should I eat something at 4:15 am before the workout?
I’m never hungry in the morning.
But according to you I should eat for circadian rhythm
Thank you for the podcast. So informative and inspirational. Any luck with the exact link to the app for jump bones? Thank you.
No sorry! Not yet. We are trying!
❤ thank you!
Thank you for watching and your comment. Glad it was helpful.
I’m 42 thatnks for this wounderful pop cast
Thanks Ash. 👍🏼
I love Dr. SIMS, but i really want to know thoughts on BRHT for women post menopause.
Thanks for your response! On her web site, she has much more info and courses. www.drstacysims.com/
@functionalmomspodcast oh great! Tysm!
Wait - She says tucking (walking with weight) is not good for bone density?! This is the only time/person i’ve heard say that. I’d really like to understand why she thinks so.
I wasn't able to find bone jump app. Does it still exist and is it still called bone jump?
Super informative! How could one get 30 grams of Lysine post workout on a Whole-foods plant based diet (No animal products)? Thank you for your thoughts and advice!
I think she said high leucine (not lysine), which is around 3g of leucine within 30g total protein (not 30g leucine or lysine).

I think she gave the dairy example as the branched chain amino acids she mentioned (leucine , isoleucine, valine) are often supplemented from whey sources.
Could someone please direct to the bone jump app? I cannot seem to locate it.
We have been in touch with Dr. Sims about this. When we have an answer we will be sure to share.
Love the information in this video but the editing cuts are jarring and make it difficult to watch.
Thank you for your feedback. We continue to evolve and improve the show as we are able and appreciate your honesty.
Stacy referenced a colleague in New Zealand who has an app called Bone Jump - can't find - can you advise please and thanks
Could not find bone jump
App?
Is there info that can break down a plan for a 40-something ur old woman? All this info is overwhelming I don’t know how to plan
Check out Dr. Sims’ web site. So much helpful info:
www.drstacysims.com/
Can anyone help me to understand the difference between “lifting heavy” and “pushing to failure”? I lift as heavy as I can, and push to failure (as many reps as I can manage with that weight?). I’m confused about the distinction. Thanks!
This could mean lifting heavier weights, and doing 6 reps or less per set. Sims talks about this in more detail on other podcasts.
Yes, the Huberman podcast or on youtube is really detailed.
❤❤❤
Could not find the bone jump app or site…anyone found it?
I also could not find the app. Bummer.
We have been unable to get this info. So sorry! We hope to get it at some point and share.
Maybe its for research only - the app- as her friend is(likely) scientist…
Yes, please!
What about people who don’t have the monies to join a gym. What can we use at home?
The hiit ratios were not clear
Did someone find the app bone jump.?.
?
I couldn't find it either
This whole thing was so confusing for someone that starting their journey. She mentions so many things it would have been helpful if there was a short demonstration of what she means. Cause otherwise it just sounded as if she was speaking another language.
We understand it can be overwhelming. If you go to www.drstacysims.com/ there is much more info including programs for different levels.
What about a non dairy option for protein?
I am disappointed that the functional moms did not create a scenario with better lighting for Stacey.
