Science-based strategies to help active women perform with their physiology.

Work with your physiology, not against it.
When it comes to exercise, nutrition and medicine, it has long been assumed that women are just smaller versions of men. Common sense would tell you this is not true... but in spite of this, very little research has been done specifically on women in these areas. This seems crazy given women make up about 50% of the population.
There is a lot of confusion in the market as all sorts of programs are out there pushed by anyone with an idea and a loud voice. This lack of science-based information often means women are doing the wrong training, eating the wrong food, not reaching their full potential, and/or often suffering unnecessary discomfort and pain. For example, how many of those programs take into account the menstrual cycle where there are large, repetitive changes in hormone levels?
I am working very hard to change all this. I have been doing research in the areas of physiology and nutrition for over 20 years and I have a wealth of experience implementing practical, science-based interventions specifically for women. I have directly helped hundreds of women from all levels of ability as well as reaching hundreds of thousands through my book ROAR, live presentations and my online courses.
THE COURSE
The Women Are Not Small Men™ (WANSM) course is the extension to my book ROAR and a culmination of a lot of my work. It is designed for any woman, or man, interested in using science-based strategies to help active women of any age reach their physical potential.
Core Course: The course is a comprehensive, science -based course about women like no other. It is comprised of 7 Modules containing 36 Chapters of video-based learning material in a relaxed, informative, non-threatening style.
Help with your learning. Each module has supplementary learning material, and links to other interesting and relevant content and critical thinking exercises.
I will answer your questions. During each of the 7 modules, you can submit your questions and they will be answered by me during one of 5 Facebook Live sessions. These video sessions are then made available in the course and are keyword searchable.

Coach
The course has not only changed the way I design my training program, recovery, and fueling, but it has also changed my life in a way that I'm now able to share my passion for everything sports and hormones in my business and with my clients. I'm so grateful to Dr. Stacy Sims for putting out the information and this course that had such a positive impact on my career.
Lydia Nader
Registered Dietitian
As a dietitian and a runner, I knew the common nutritional recommendations for training and improving performance, but I felt like my own training, as well as my female clients were not getting the results the same way my male clients were, but had no idea why. This course helped open my eyes and provide applicable and actionable steps to help myself and my clients see improvement in their training and fueling practices. I have seen less injury, improved confidence, and improved energy levels in many clients, as well as myself!

Hermina Campbell
Personal Trainer
All women should take this course for us to understand our bodies and work with them rather than against them. Stacy is a warm and engaging scientist and expert, who invokes a desire to understand more and always want to do better for ourselves and those we train.
Rachel Koroscil
Coach
This course has given me the confidence to actively advocate for girls and women in our sport to ensure they receive the best training for their physiology. Thanks to Stacy, I have learned so much to help me be the best coach I can be with my female athletes. Can't wait for future classes to further my learning in these vital and under-researched areas!
Eve Adam
Coach
I really enjoyed every second of this course. It was so interesting and intense. During these 7 weeks, I got great input regarding women's physiology and training. Stacy shared all her knowledge with us and explained it very clearly. She gave us a good understanding, where we can find the resources and how we should critically think of everything that's written out there. Now it is our time to spread the word and train all my athletes with their physiology! Thank you so much. Without you, Stacy, I would not have made it so far in my coaching business.
Dr. Lauren Hendrix, DC, MS
Doctor of Chiropractic
I work with female athletes of all ages every day. Once I read ROAR, I was SHOCKED that none of this information was part of my undergraduate degree in Exercise Science, my Doctor of Chiropractic degree, or my Masters in Sports Rehabilitation degree. How this science & research never made it into curriculum still amazes me. I always had a feeling that something else was out there....then I found ROAR and the WANSM course. Each section is evidence based and gives a wonderful base of information from which I can easily start conversations with young athletes, aging athletes, and everyone in between. THANK YOU for presenting this information! I will spread it as much as I can!
