Dr Stacy Sims knows more about women's fitness than pretty much anyone we've ever spoken to.
She's the exercise expert who went viral for her breakfast routine, but that's just the beginning. Dr Sims is an exercise physiologist and nutritional scientist who's become the go-to authority for grown-up women navigating fitness in 2025.
In this conversation, Stacey shares why so much mainstream fitness advice is complete bullshit for women. She explains how ice baths, fasting, and soul-crushing cardio weren't designed for female bodies, and why "shrinking and pinking" men's advice doesn't serve us.
You're going to hear about the surprising differences between male and female physiology, why women aren't just "small men" when it comes to health, and what we actually need to feel vibrant and strong. Plus, yes, she'll reveal that famous breakfast that caught the internet's attention.

What does it actually look like to live, heal, and thrive when your physical health has been pushed to the absolute limit?
In this episode, we sit down with Aimee Morrisby, who shares her extraordinary, radical journey of body survival and transformation. Born with a rare condition that left her missing the vital ganglion cells in her digestive tract, Aimee spent her entire childhood navigating severe medical trauma, culminating in a major surgery that left her with a permanent ileostomy and just 60 centimetres of small bowel.
Aimee opens up about the deep emotional realities of her fertility journey, the profound gift of sisterly surrogacy that brought her healthy daughter into the world, and the terrifying moment she decided to walk away from her career, go cold turkey on chronic pain medications, and radically rewrite her own health from the inside out.

Is your skincare routine actually working against you?
In this episode of Well, we dive into the fascinating world of the gut-skin axis - the very real internal superhighway connecting your microbiome straight to your face. Dr Mariam breaks down the actual science of probiotics, explaining why grabbing whatever is on special at the chemist won't fix targeted skin issues.
Plus, they are joined by functional medicine practitioner Victoria Pavasovic to discuss why your skin might literally be "screaming" at you. Victoria reveals the major mistakes we are all making when it comes to overtreating our skin clinics, why drinking litres of water without electrolytes is a myth, and the simple "three questions" you need to ask yourself before every single meal to heal your body from the inside out.
You can find Victoria at Gut Skin Clinic in Neutral Bay, Sydney, or on her website here.

Can your genes influence what you eat, how your gut works, and even why coriander tastes like soap to some people? This week on Well, food and nutrition scientist Dr Emma Beckett cuts through the noise around gut health and explains what the science actually says.
From probiotics and Greek yoghurt to taste receptors hidden throughout your gut, we unpack the surprising ways genetics shape our relationship with food. Dr Beckett reveals why one-size-fits-all nutrition advice doesn't work, what the microbiome can (and can't) tell us about health, and why the wellness industry's obsession with gut hacks may be missing the point.
Plus, Dr Mariam answers a listener's question about constipation, ageing and menopause, and explains why some gut symptoms deserve a closer look.
