Efficient Training for Women 40+: Sims’ 3 Pillars
In this Huberman Podcast segment, Dr. Stacy Sims frames training after 40 (especially 50+) as a “turn the brain away” moment, stop chasing what used to work and train for the life you want at 80 or 90. Her efficiency formula centers on three stressors: short, regular jump training for bone loading, heavy resistance training for strength and muscle, and sprint interval training for high return conditioning. Nutrition is the companion lever: higher daily protein, roughly 1 gram per pound of body weight (about 2 to 2.3 g per kg), using animal or plant sources.
