You will most likely have access for years, but we don't make the material accessible forever because we won't live forever, and our understanding of the human body evolves! 

We say you will have access for at least two years (probably more!!), but we can't, in good faith, say you will have access forever, as no one can. 

In fact, if anyone says they will offer their content forever, it is all marketing hype because they really don't understand the changing nature of scientific understanding. 

Dr. Sims will be teaching the whole course.  Don't accept any substitutes, get it directly from the person who wrote the book on this topic, literally!

If you want to eat well, take some medications, and do a few walks, then this course is NOT for you. If you want to eat well, perhaps take some medications if needed, and exercise with purpose and intensity, then this is the course for you. Stacy uses exercise, stress, and nutrition to create a stimulus for adaptation the way our hormones used to. She includes heavy resistance training and intensive exercise a couple of times a week to do this. For example (with care!!), lifting heavy, plyometrics, high-intensity endurance training, adaptogens, protein, and appropriate fueling, to name just a few.

Active women at any level, coaches (male, female), and anyone into sport and fitness seeking additional information on the physiology of menopause (early 40's upwards) and how to eat and train in each of the stages of menopause.

Yes, the course would work for you because you would just follow the Post -Menopausal information.

Definitely, the course is for active women at any level from 40 years of age onwards. It's for coaches (male, female), and anyone into sport and fitness seeking additional information on the physiology of menopause and how to eat and train in each of the stages of menopause.

Definitely, the course is for anyone working with active women at any level from 40 years of age onwards. Therefore it's for coaches (male, female), and anyone into sport and fitness seeking additional information on the physiology of menopause and how to eat and train in each of the stages of menopause.

Yes and no. Stacy has taken the Menopause for Athletes course she wrote three years ago and completely re-vamped it to include new science and examples. Some parts will be the same, some parts will be updated, and some parts will be completely new. The original Menopause for Athletes course has been retired.

Definitely, the course is for active women in all stages of menopause. It's also for coaches (male, female), and anyone into sport and fitness seeking additional information on the physiology of menopause and how to eat and train in each of the stages of menopause.

Probably.  We have accreditation for this course with nine organizations (ACSM, NSCA, FITREC, NASM, AFAA, USAT, CANFITPRO, CPTN, NCSF, NESTA) and more on the way.  Plus, many have succeeded with other organizations after submitting their Certificate of Completion and the Course syllabus PDF.

Yes. Links to pertinent resources will be supplied in each module. These links will direct you to research papers, blogs, videos, PDF’s, newspaper articles, etc. They have all been compiled and reviewed by Dr. Sims.

The course material (videos, text, etc.) for the Menopause 2.0 course is delivered on our online teaching platform (called Kajabi www.kajabi.com).

By the end of this course you will:

• Have the tools to critically assess the media and marketing information pertaining to menopause coming into the fitness and wellness world.
• Have the foundation to build training plans based on women’s physiology throughout menopause.
• Understand the implications and use of different foods to help mitigate some of the common issues surrounding menopause.
• Expand your network and connections to a group of individuals looking to enhance women’s experiences and performance in fitness and sport.

Yes, the Menopause 2.0 course is designed to be understood by non-science learners with added content for coaches and medical professionals. Everyone who has worked diligently through the course has understood enough to have gained valuable knowledge from the experience.

Yes, think of Next Level as your textbook for learning about menopause. However, the Menopause 2.0 course extends you much further. The course is presented by Stacy, who uses her casual style and informative audio-visuals to make sometimes complex concepts understandable and enjoyable to learn.

ROAR covers the lifespan and, therefore, Menopause.  However, it is not in as much detail as the Next Level book or the Menopause 2.0 course.

To watch all the videos will be about 15 hours of your time. You could spend many more hours of additional learning by going through the resources that will be supplied to you.

No, the course is online 24/7, and you have access to it for at least two years, so you can view and review it any time you please and as many times as you please.

Absolutely, it is never too late to start, and this course specifically covers post-menopause.

The Menopause 2.0 course includes:

• 5 Modules (57 Chapters) of learning totaling over 15 hours of educational time, including 9 detailed case studies.
• Links to other interesting and relevant content.
• Critical thinking exercises.
• Keyword searchable access to all the videos so you can find a topic quickly and easily.
• Access to all the course content for years (no one can say 'forever').
• Use a Credit Card or PayPal.
• On-Demand Learning - learn from anywhere and at any time.

You'll have access for at least two years from your purchase date, and in practice, usually longer. I don't offer lifetime access, and that's deliberate. The science on menopause is moving fast; what we understood five years ago isn't what we understand now. Course material that never gets retired eventually stops being accurate, and I'd rather update the work than leave an outdated version of it online indefinitely.

I teach the entire course from start to finish.

You don't need to be an athlete; you do need to want to train.

This course is built around using exercise, nutrition, and recovery to create the stimulus your hormones used to provide on their own. That means resistance training with real load, short bursts of high intensity, and eating to support both. If that's the direction you want to go— whatever your starting point—the course will get you there.

Active women 40+, coaches and trainers, health professionals, and anyone in sport and fitness who wants to understand the physiology of menopause and how to eat and train through each stage. You don't need a science background, but you do need an interest in doing things differently.

Yes. Post-menopause is covered throughout, not treated as an afterthought.

Training and nutrition needs continue to shift after the menopause transition ends, and the course addresses that stage specifically, including how to protect bone density, maintain muscle mass, and keep training hard for decades.

Yes, it's never too late to start. The strategies in this course, such as heavy resistance training, intensity, and protein timing, matter as much at 65 as they do at 45. Several of the case studies follow post-menopausal women, so you'll see exactly how the principles apply.

Yes, the course covers every stage of menopause, including early menopause.

The physiology doesn't change based on when it arrives, but the context does, particularly around training load and long-term bone and cardiovascular health, all of which are addressed in the course.

Yes. If you've had a total hysterectomy, the post-menopausal guidance throughout the course will apply to you.

It’s worth knowing that surgical menopause can arrive more abruptly than natural menopause, and the transition can feel different as a result. The training and nutrition principles are the same, but if you're navigating that shift, it's worth discussing your individual situation with your physician alongside the course material.

Yes. Module 3 covers training considerations in depth: how needs change, how to program around them, and how hard to push. Module 5 walks through nine case studies of women I've worked with, which includes their situation, what we did, and the outcome.

The course also carries CECs with multiple certifying organizations, so it's built to meet professional standards.

Yes. Menopause 2.0 is a full rebuild of the earlier course, updated with new science, new examples, and new case studies. Some foundations carry over but much of it is new. The Menopause for Athletes course has been retired.

Yes. Menopause 2.0 is approved for CECs with NASM (0.9), AFAA (0.9), CPTN (14), NCSF (7), NSCA (1.1), ACSM (15), and CANFITPRO (4).

If your organization isn't on that list, it's still worth applying. Many students have successfully claimed credits using the Certificate of Completion and the detailed course syllabus, both of which are included.

Yes. Every module links out to the relevant source material, including research papers, articles, videos, and PDFs. I've compiled and reviewed all of it myself.

Everything—videos, text, and all course materials—lives on your online learning dashboard. You'll get login details as soon as you purchase, and you can sign in anytime at drstacysims.com/login.

• Cut through the marketing noise around menopause and judge what's actually helpful.
• Build training plans grounded in female physiology across every stage of menopause.
• Use food strategically to address common menopause symptoms.

Yes. Menopause 2.0 assumes no prior background. It's built to be clear for non-scientists, with deeper material layered in for coaches and health professionals who want it. You don't need to have read anything first.

Yes. Think of Next Level as the foundation, and then Menopause 2.0 takes you considerably further, with new science, visual explanations, and nine detailed case studies you won't find in the book.

ROAR covers the full lifespan, so menopause is part of it but not the focus. If menopause is what you're navigating now, Next Level and this course go far deeper.

About 15 hours in total across five modules and 57 chapters, including nine case studies. There's no weekly requirement; you set the pace. If you want to go deeper, the linked resources will take you well beyond those 15 hours.

No. The course is available whenever you are, and you can watch and rewatch as often as you like for as long as you have access.

All videos are keyword-searchable, so you can find a specific topic quickly rather than hunting through chapters.

Menopause 2.0 is $349 as a single payment, or three monthly payments of $118.

Included:

• 5 modules, 57 chapters, over 15 hours of material
• 9 detailed case studies from women I've worked with
• Critical thinking exercises throughout
• Keyword-searchable video so you can find any topic fast
• Linked resources for going deeper
• Certificate of Completion and course syllabus for CEC applications
• On-demand access from anywhere, for at least two years

My big courses (Meno2.0, Next Gen, WANSM) are more holistic and bigger. They take you on a journey of learning through many stages to give you the whole picture, whereas Microlearning is all about learning one particular thing in much greater detail.  You can learn more by watching the comparison video.

Yes, you can access all the Microlearning Courses for as long as we are in business for a one-off payment.  It's called the Microlearning Pack. 

You can access the online Microlearning course material for as long as we are in business, although we reserve the right to remove it if it becomes outdated or misleading. The reason we don't make the material accessible forever is that unlike pretty much all other content out there on other topics like marketing, knitting, dog handling, or whatever, ours is 100% based on science, and science evolves.  We don't want old material out there that is possibly misleading or even wrong so we need to keep up with the science and change our material as evidence emerges.

Unfortunately, the system we use (www.kajabi.com) does not have the concept of a shopping cart like a true online store. Although we can create an Offer by grouping multiple products together (for example, the 4 Microlearning Courses on Supplements and our Microlearning PLUS subscription), you can’t pick and mix your own selection, you need to purchase them one Offer at a time. Fortunately, this is a quick process.  Kajabi is releasing a Cart system in early 2025, so we are looking forward to seeing that.

Not in general. Some of the Microlearning Units (MLU’s) in the Courses are covered superficially in parts of the Courses, but generally the MLU’s are deeper dives into specific topics. Basically, you can’t make up the Courses by doing lots of MLU’s and, conversely, you can’t get all the info of the MLU’s in the courses. Remember courses are bigger and cover lots of topics and sometimes they don’t need too much detail to get the concept across. Whereas Microlearning Courses of MLU’s are deep dives into very specific topics.

Microlearning typically uses Badges rather than Certificates. We are using the industry-standard accreditation system, Accredible, to deliver a Badge for each Microlearning Collection you complete. You will apply for the Badge on the last page of each Microlearning Collection. Once you have submitted your application, an email will be sent to you with a link to the electronic Badge. You can collect all the Badges, add them to website, social media, LinkedIn, your email signatures, and print them out.
