My guest today is Dr. Stacy Sims. This is Stac’s third time on the Warrior School Pod.  When I sent her the list of topics I wanted to talk about she wrote back - “Oh wow, I’ll have to think about these”. This Ep. Is more personal than it is ‘education and science’. Stacy has been on 292 podcasts in the last year or so, so I didn’t want to get her on the talk about the same stuff. I was more interested in what’s going on in her work and what playing to win means to her as a woman, athlete, Mum and scientist.

Key Takeaways:

• What’s going on in Stacy’s World 
• Why she decided to revise ROAR and what’s different in version 2.0
• Her insights from collaborative projects aimed at educating women on strength training
• Her passion for gender equality for youth athletes and sports in schools
• Adapting training strategies throughout different life stages, particularly in response to hormonal changes.
• Utilising technology, such as 'smart tampons,' for early warnings of health issues.
• Groundbreaking research on using menstrual fluid as a diagnostic tool for women's healthcare accessibility.
• Personal experiences with balancing training, business, and family, along with strategies for prioritising self-care and finding balance.
• Balancing rigorous training with rest, nutrition, and recovery for holistic health.
