Women’s health affects the development of male and female bodies. So why has it been ignored for centuries?
In this week’s episode of Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown, Mayim and Jonathan sit down with Dr. Stacy Sims — exercise physiologist, nutrition scientist, and author of Roar: Match Your Food and Fitness to Your Unique Female Physiology for Optimum Performance, Great Health, and a Strong Body for Life. She questions everything we know about women’s fitness, hormones, and healthy habits. Why? Because they were never studied.
Dr. Sims’ research changes that. The consequences have devastated progress for long enough. Two billion people worldwide are micronutrient-deficient right now. Weight loss protocols such as GLP-1 medications are destroying muscle. Wearables like the Apple Watch and Oura Ring can’t detect ovulation — skewing the results and pointing toward illness. And oral contraceptives cause irreversible changes to the amygdala during adolescence, permanently increasing women’s capacity for anxiety and fear.
