My guest today is Dr. Stacy Sims. This is Stac’s third time on the Warrior School Pod.  When I sent her the list of topics I wanted to talk about she wrote back - “Oh wow, I’ll have to think about these”. This Ep.

Key Takeaways: What’s going on in Stacy’s World  Why she decided to revise ..read more

I’ve always admired your graceful, yet strong physique, and many of the women I see in the gym don’t have that. There’s only one girl in particular who does, and she’s like 20!

What exercises can help with that and what role does body fat have? Most of the women I see are too lean for what I want" I recorde ..read more
