I've name changed as I rave about this woman a lot and it would be immensely outing!

Dr Stacy Sims - I've got 'roar next level' and working my way through it and how I'm managing exercise while on breast cancer hormonal therapy. I really do find her advice helpful (bar supplements.)

I've hunted a few podcasts and she is completely focused on sex specific language. Including "sex specific differences in utero." Obviously she talks about sex difference between boys and girls and especially at puberty. It's so refreshing!

This episode goes rather 'invisible women' when she describes the research balance between men and women. (Which is shocking.)

She focusses on 'lifting heavy shit' (power based training) without hrt in peri and post menopause, and she herself is vegan. And it's the lifting and hitt / Siit that I'm finding so very helpful.

Definitely.

she also talks about seeing physios rather than personal trainers to give you specific strengthening exercises with physical bands etc before you attempt harder stiff. As they will know more about how the body works - and men and women's bodies are very different. As well as variation between individuals.

I haven't time to watch/read now, but this is definitely the kind or research we need.

It actually sounds like she really does have a wealth of information about sex differences in sports science, despite the lack of research, from the bits she says here and there.

Which is infuriating wrt certain sports bodies being idiots about it.
