A dear friend of mine, E-Lene, recently reminded me of something that changed the way I think about my body: that women should be lifting weights differently than men. Our muscles, tissues, and hormones are not the same — yet the fitness world still treats us like smaller versions of men.

That’s why this Huberman Lab episode with Dr. Stacy Sims was a game-changer. It’s a deep, scientific look at how women’s bodies work — especially post-menopause — and how our approach to strength, food, and recovery needs to shift.

It’s not about becoming a gym person overnight. It’s about knowing what actually works for our bodies, and why. If you’ve been feeling stuck or uninspired, this one’s worth every minute.
