The Aging Project STRONGER or Weaker. You CHOOSE, says Dr Stacy Sims
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. 💥
