The Proof with Simon Hill Nutrition & Exercise tips for Women | Stacy Sims, Phd
02:08:25
Anomaly Frustration
- Dr. Stacy Sims was angered when told women were an anomaly in research, generalizing from male data.
- Her frustration stemmed from her upbringing, where gender didn't limit her pursuits, and her athletic experience.
Repercussions of Male-Centric Studies
- Applying male-centric studies to women can have repercussions in areas like drug metabolism and training.
- Women's physiology differs, including muscle architecture, metabolism, and hormonal responses, requiring tailored protocols.
Historical Exclusion of Women
- Historically, women's exclusion from research wasn't solely due to menstrual cycles but societal perceptions.
- They were deemed less intelligent, delicate, with low pain tolerance, hence unsuitable for scientific involvement.
