Dr. Stacy Sims: The Protein Standard for Women Was Never Based on Women

What is it? 1G of protein per lb or kg??? I keep hearing both. 1G of protein per lb is just a lot!!

Nb.: It's 1 gram of protein per KILO of body weight.

The collab we were all waiting for

Thank you to Dr. Sims and Dr. Wright for this wonderful information! I have been active since my teens (now 64), but was diagnosed with cancer 4 years ago. Not being able to workout and play tennis was the hardest part of the entire ‘journey.’ I started working with a PT after finishing my treatment and then joined the YMCA. They have personal trainers and group exercise programs that can get you started and keep you motivated. I also discovered a great YouTube channel that helps women with strength training whether you’re a beginner or serious athlete….it’s called Lift with Cee. Cee is awesome and her videos give you a full body workout in just 30-40 minutes. I started out using 2-3 lb. weights and am now up to 8-10 lbs. Don’t make it too complicated….just do what you can and you’ll thank your yourself and feel better!

Nice to hear about applying stuff from Keith Baar!

There's no way Im getting 125 grams of protein in a day. Like Stacey, I don't eat meat, so I would love to know exactly how Stacey is getting her 1.8 grams of protein per body weight in.

Thank you so much for this conversation 💕💪🏼 #strongwomen

What about us females in 80 " who look SO MUCH HEALTHIER THAN THIS DR SIMS ?

Stacy Sims looks like folks I see who are in their 90's. How old is she or is she very ill ?

The point about women’s health data being based on the wrong baseline really stands out. The Global Menopause Collective is also working to make midlife health conversations more practical, evidence-based, and centred on women’s real bodies.

Stacy por favor pueden hacerlo en español

I follow everything these two ladies say...thank you for every advice you have provided us

I LOVED this! The two of you are doing amazing work for women! This was the reminder I needed that it’s not about the number on the scale, keep lifting and lift heavier! Thank you for this!!

I love that we have two strong intelligent women informing and debunking everything that we have been told about strength training/cardio and nutrition.

Two of my favorite women to listen to! Listening to you both has been life changing for me over the last year. I’m 37, and I won’t be going down the frail path. I’m strong and will keep getting strong

Watching this makes me feel proud of my fend for introducing rest breaks mid week or when I need it, from exercise. Earlier this week I didn’t exercise on my usual exercise day, because I realised I was hanging strong PMS syndromes, such as palpitations etc I even happened to see that my blood sugar was really high on fasting…only from or eating after 6pm…and all I did that day was walk (gentler) and the next morning I had my orbiting earlier in the morning and the next day I felt better.

For an older woman, Robin Wright in Wonder Woman 😍

Im a 71 year old working out as much as i can and maxxing my health. So please talk about us 70 plus athletes as well as 40 plus women. Grezt comversation❤

Trainer Road is an AI based cycling platform, they have lots of podcast episodes with female pro riders and many everyday women use their platform to learn how to train to get better on the bike and it has helped me a lot with learning when to push myself and when to back off.

Maybe they would be open to collaborating with some scientific research to help answer some of these questions?

How can one lift with an aching body

Trophy Bodies are built through muscle-building workouts on high-quality rebounders, and I would love to see this studied more by experts in the field—especially amazing women like these two 🥰🥰

Thank you both. Just found you all. I have daughters who as young adults struggled with body image, so I started put Samantha Stosur in front of them and told them this is a healthy beautiful woman, this is a strong woman. Now in their 30's they both are weight lifting and they are strong healthy women

I’m lifting to play with my grandkids!

Stacy doesn’t eat complete proteins, so yeah, maybe .8 isn’t enough if your eating plant based proteins… I love her teachings and have been implementing it but not eating animal proteins lost me.

My two favorite docs together! You said that you can't over protein, but isn't it true that if excess protein makes it to the colon, and depending on the amino acid profile, it will be catabolized by the gut microbiota and produce CH4 or H2S gas?

How much base training (zone 2) do we need? Dr Sims talks about zone 2 for recovery and soul food whereas Dr Wright recommends 4 X 45 min sessions of zone 2 per week. (3 hours per week in other words). Is the 3 hrs of base training still essential for excellent cardio respiratory fitness or can we get away with 2/3 short sessions of HIIT/ SIT? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ If I hardly do zone 2, can I still get an excellent VO2 Max score over the same period? 🤷‍♀️

i’m 72 and loving the conversation. trying to figure out how to incorporate strength training at home. 😬

I do 30 seconds of jumping after dinner!

Is there a resource that isn’t for high performers or deep pockets that can help everyday women to create our own plans with examples of workouts with proper form… and some basic nutrition/fueling plans for post-menopausal women.

You two art the reason I’ve started strength training! I’ve recently added your books to my library. You talk a lot about women in their 40s and 50s, which is great and is really needed, but I’ll be 71 in a couple of days. What advice do you have some someone starting out later in life. I don’t recall ever hearing that mentioned by either of you. This is a great video, keep up the amazing work.

@vondawright @drstacysims did you ever hear of The Firm workout videos? What’s your take?

BUT.....as I use weights and aim for 140 grams of protein. Yet, my bloodwork told me my kidneys cannot process so much protein. What now?

There is absolutely NO way I can eat more than 1 gram of protein per my body weight. I'd have to eat over 170 grams of protein per day. Unless I drink protein shakes and protein bars, it's just doesn't work for me. I don't want to eat that much animal protein. I'm not hungry enough to eat massive amounts of protein.

Great interview thank you for educating us ❤

Hey gals! It it awesome when a guy feels my flexed arm & shoulders and gasps in shock!!!! While being only around 5 ft, I CANNOT wear petite tops. I tried a petite large blouse on years ago but did NOT button it nor bring my arms forward b/c I KNEW it would RIP at the shoulders!! I kicked ass at the rope climb during the PE fitness tests. I also kept the flexed arm for 45+ seconds each time. One year, made it to a MINUTE -- oh, were my arms trembling afterwards!!

Luckily, I grew up with two brothers. To me "you throw like a girl" is a compliment!! I was always climbing trees, pumping on the swings (trying to, finally, go up & over --physics be damned)! To this day, my biceps and shoulders are quite defined.
