Show Notes
If the heaviest thing you’ve lifted lately is your iPhone, this one’s for you. Over the years, have you gotten stronger—or weaker?
The truth is strength doesn’t disappear overnight; it slips away quietly. One day you’re opening jars, the next you're asking for help. It’s common, but it’s not inevitable.
Today’s guest, Dr. Stacy Sims, is here to flip the script. She says strength is a CHOICE—and you make that choice every single day. Dr. Sims is an internationally recognised exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who specialises in women’s health, performance, and aging.
Her message? Women are not small men—and we need to train, eat, and recover differently. 💥
In This Episode:
Why strength matters more after 40 than ever before
The real reason women lose muscle (hint: it’s not just age)
Easy, at-home strength baseline tests
The link between grip strength, VO₂ max, and how long you’ll live
How to train smarter, not longer
Creatine, Protein, and the must-do nutrition hacks
Busting myths: no, strength training won’t make you “bulky”
The Stacy Sims x The Aging Project 30-Day Strength Challenge to get you started.

What if the problem isn’t your willpower… but your biology?
We’re popping in with something a little different (and something we’re very excited about): a behind-the-scenes look at The Fitgenes Program.
