Pursuing Health Julie Foucher MD, MS

300 episodes of Pursuing Health—what an incredible journey!
It’s been almost three years since my last Q&A-style episode, so to celebrate this milestone, I'm hosting a special Q&A session with the help of the amazing Nicole Carroll. Thank you to everyone who responded to my call for questions via email; there were so many excellent ones, and I wish I could have answered them all!
I deeply appreciate your support for the podcast. Many of you have followed my path from CrossFit Games athlete to medical student to physician, and I'm truly honored that you tune in week after week. It's been a privilege to listen and learn from an array of remarkable guests—medical experts, elite athletes, and everyday individuals with inspiring transformation stories—and I'm grateful to share these conversations with you.
Cheers to nine years of Pursuing Health, and here's to many more ahead!

Stacy T. Sims, MSc, PhD, is a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who aims to revolutionize exercise nutrition and performance for women.
She has directed research programs focusing on female athlete health and performance and pushing the dogma to improve research on all women.
During her tenure at Stanford, she had the opportunity to translate earlier research into consumer products and a science-based layperson's book (ROAR) written to explain sex differences in training and nutrition across the lifespan. Both the consumer products and the book challenged the existing dogma for women in exercise, nutrition, and health. This paradigm shift is the focus of her famous "Women Are Not Small Men” TEDx talk.
Her contributions to the international research environment and the sports nutrition industry has established a new niche in sports nutrition; and established her reputation as the expert in sex differences in training, nutrition, and health.
Stacy currently holds a Senior Research Associate position with SPRINZ- AUT University, supervises PhD students, writes academic papers, and is on the advisory board of some cutting edge companies including Tonal Strength Institute, WILD.AI, and EXOS.  She also has her own business (www.drstacysims.com) where she creates and delivers online learning material focused on women training with their physiology across the lifespan.
She currently resides at the beach in Mt. Maunganui, New Zealand with her husband and young daughter.
