By: Stacy T. Sims PhD, Selene Yeager

Narrated by: Gina Daniels

A comprehensive, physiology-based guide to peak performance for active women approaching or experiencing menopause—from the author of Roar, renowned exercise and nutrition scientist Dr. Stacy Sims

For active women, menopause hits hard. Overnight, your body doesn’t feel like the one you know and love anymore—you’re battling new symptoms, might be gaining weight, losing endurance and strength, and taking longer to bounce back from workouts that used to be easy. The things that have always kept you fit and healthy just seem to stop working the way they used to.

But menopause doesn’t have to be the end of you kicking ass at the gym, on the trail, in the saddle, or wherever you work out. Once you understand your physiology, you can work with it—not against it—to optimize your performance. That’s where Stacy Sims, PhD comes in. In Next Level, you’ll learn the underlying causes of menopause: the hormonal changes that are causing all the symptoms you’re feeling, and their impact on your wellness and performance. Then, what you really came for—what to do about it. Inside you’ll find science-backed advice about training, nutrition, sleep and recovery and supplements, as well as sample exercise routines, meal plans, macronutrient planning charts, and case studies from real women Stacy has coached through the transition. It’s the ultimate guide to navigating the Next Level.

*Includes a downloadable PDF of exercise routines, meal plans, planning charts, and other useful resources from the book.

A must read for the athlete woman dealing with menopause

I’ve been an athlete for decades and always felt I had my fitness and body “dialed in”. When menopause arrived it turned everything upside down! This book has been an incredible resource in helping me adjust to the new reality of my body and how to support it and still get the most out of it 💪

Great book

This book is great. Even though it is written for high performance athletes and I am not one, I am a very active 50 y/o woman. I took multiple things away from this book.

Excellent

For complicated, science-based content, the content is clear and reconditions are reasonable and customizable.

AI

Stacy is great as an interview her information and process is excellent but an AI narrator terrible it does not make for a good presentation.
