Breaking the Myths Around Women's Fitness with Dr. Dixie Stanforth

What does women’s fitness actually look like—and how much of what we believe is outdated?

In this episode, I sit down with Dixie to break down some of the biggest myths surrounding women’s fitness. We start with her journey into training and her experience teaching at the University of Texas, then zoom out to challenge the idea that there’s ever been a “one-size-fits-all” approach to health and performance.

We dive into how women’s fitness has evolved—from a time when strength training wasn’t even part of the conversation in the 70s and 80s, to where we are today—and why some old mindsets still stick around.

We also get into the why behind it all:

•  Why bone density should be on every woman’s radar 
•  The importance of getting baseline health testing 
•  And how understanding your body can completely change the way you train 

Whether you’re just getting started or have been training for years, this episode is about shifting perspective, asking better questions, and building a smarter, more personalized approach to fitness.
