    How Women Should ACTUALLY Eat, Train & Sleep (You've Been Following Research Done On Men...)

    Women were left out of medical, nutrition, and exercise research for 16 years. They studied men, and then they told women we would get the same results by following the general health guidelines. In this episode, you're going to learn what the research actually says when women are the subjects. You're going to learn an easy shift to work with your hormones to get the sleep that you need, how to help your body effortlessly lose weight, what actually makes you happier and calmer, and what will help you live longer.  I’m joined by Dr. Stacy Sims who has her PhD in exercise physiology with a focus on nutrition and sex differences. She spent years in her postdoc at Stanford studying how different interventions impact men and women differently. She has devoted her life to figuring out the real science of women's health, and today she is sharing her exact playbook with you. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • Why intermittent fasting backfires for women • The workout class you may have been sweating through unnecessarily • Why your wearable could be gaslighting you • The male-data fitness myth costing women results • The truth about lifting heavy • Why calorie deficits often make women hold onto fat • Cold plunge vs. sauna: what the research says for women • The supplement that outperforms SSRIs in early research • What the birth control pill may have changed in your brain • Why you can't have it all at once in your workout  Check out our NEW YouTube Channel with tons of YouTube exclusive Shorts, exclusive podcast content, and full video episodes: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LizMoodyTV⁠  For more from Dr. Stacy Sims: • Newsletter: https://www.drstacysims.com/newsletters/articles • Website: https://www.drstacysims.com/  • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstacysims/?hl=en  Ready to uplevel every part of your life?

    Top Time Expert: You Can Have A Career, Family AND Free Time—Here's How

    You've probably heard a million different time management strategies by now, but may still feel busy, exhausted, and like you don’t have time to do the things you truly love. Today, we are going to change that. I surveyed thousands of Liz Moody podcast listeners and found there are four specific time hurdles all of us run into. We're going to talk about exactly how to overcome those hurdles with pragmatic, actionable steps that work. And, here's the catch, we are not talking about time management to get more done. We are talking about time management to create a life that’s filled with joy and fun. My expert guest is Laura Vanderkam. She is a time management researcher who has studied thousands of people's real time logs, a bestselling author of multiple books, a business owner, mother of 5 kids, and she also sings in a choir every week. She has figured out how to use every hour intentionally, and she’s going to help you do the same. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • The reason time management strategies fail • The surprising truth about how long your chores, work, and obligations actually take • How to use your evenings and weekends like a mini vacation—without going anywhere • A simple weekly planning method that cuts decision fatigue and kills the Sunday scaries • Why "three times a week" is enough to build a real habit • Why "flexible" hobbies never happen—what to do instead • How to make tasks feel doable Check out our NEW YouTube Channel with tons of YouTube exclusive Shorts and, coming soon, YouTube exclusive podcast content: https://www.youtube.com/@LizMoodyTV  Check out the previous episodes of The Liz Moody Podcast discussed today: • Unlocking the Happiness Formula: How the Most Joyful People Manage Their Time With Cassie Holmes, PhD • Invisible Labor Is Damaging Your Relationships–But This 6 Minute Exercise Can Change Everything with Eve Rodsky Review the study mentioned in this episode: Happiness From Treating The Weekend Like A Vacation For more from Laura Vanderkam: • Order Her New Book, Big Time: https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324110750 • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lvanderkam  • Website: https://lauravanderkam.com/  Ready to uplevel every part of your life?

    Listen To This If Your Life Feels "Meh" (A Simple Science-Backed Fix)

    My team is on our first ever retreat this week! I wanted to practice what I preach and give everyone the chance to relax and restore in Arizona, so this week, I hand picked one of my all-time favorite episodes to share with you. If you care about feeling good, about happiness, this episode is gonna change your life—I recorded it over a year ago and I still talk about it weekly. Also, it’ll make you feel good while listening. Enjoy, and see you next week for a fresh new episode! - xo Liz You've probably heard that you should spend more time in nature, practice gratitude, or meditate—but you may not know that one single emotion underlies the benefits of all of those things. Today, we're talking about awe: what it actually is, why the science says it might be the most important emotion you're not prioritizing, and exactly how to build more of it into your life starting today. I'm joined by Dr. Dacher Keltner, professor of psychology at UC Berkeley, founder of the Greater Good Science Center, and the world's leading researcher on awe. He's also the scientist behind the emotions in Pixar's Inside Out and Inside Out 2. Over 15 years of research, Dacher has studied awe across 26 countries, gathered over 2,600 stories of awe from around the world, and built a growing body of evidence showing that this one emotion can reduce anxiety, lower inflammation, ease chronic pain, combat loneliness, and even help with PTSD, sometimes more powerfully than pharmaceuticals. The best part? You don't need a trip to the Grand Canyon to find it. Awe is closer than you think. 🎧 What you'll learn: • Why three minutes of awe a few times a week can measurably change your physical and mental health • The surprising sign that tells you you're actually experiencing awe (and how to know it's not just fear or beauty) • How the eight universal sources of awe can act as a personal compass pointing you toward your life's meaning • The one mindset shift that lets you find awe without going anywhere new • Why grief and trauma can actually be gateways to awe, and how to use that to feel better stat • The unexpected connection between awe and psychedelics (and how to get similar benefits without either) • How religion is immensely helpful for awe, and how to build a secular version • The "awe prescription" Dacher recommends based on the latest research • The micro habit that helped healthcare workers fight depression and burnout during COVID in just one minute a day Check out the previous episodes of The Liz Moody Podcast discussed today: The Secret To Happiness, From The World’s Longest Study With Dr. Robert Waldinger For more from Dacher Keltner:  • Book: Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life • Podcast: The Science of Happiness Order Liz’s book 100 Ways to Change Your Life: The Science of Leveling Up Health, Happiness, Relationships & Success now!  Connect with Liz on Instagram @lizmoody or at www.lizmoody.com.  Subscribe to the substack https://lizmoody.substack.com/welcome.
