The School of Physical Education, Performance, and Sport Leadership presents the 2025 Peter V. Karpovich Lecture
Redefining Health for Women: Embracing the Unique Physiology of the Female Body, delivered by Stacy Sims, PhD, G'97
International Exercise Physiologist and Nutrition Scientist on Thursday, October 9, at 6:30 pm at the Cleveland E. and Phyllis B. Dodge Room, Flynn Campus Union
Join Stacy Sims, PhD, G’97, a globally respected exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist, for an illuminating keynote that redefines health and wellness for women, especially active women. Sims, an authoritative voice on the health and performance of female athletes, will delve into the unique physiology of the female body. Historically, medical and fitness research has centered on male bodies, leaving many women frustrated by advice that doesn't align with their experiences.
Sims will demystify how women's bodies function differently, offering insights into training effectively at various life stages, understanding and adapting to hormonal shifts, and optimizing nutrition for peak performance. Not only will you gain a deeper understanding of your physiology, but you will be inspired to celebrate and elevate your physical potential at every age.
Sims is a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who earned a Master of Science in Physiology of Exercise Science from Springfield College. Her aim is to revolutionize exercise nutrition and performance for women.
