ESR1, ESR2, CYP19A1, SHBG, and AR variants all affect how female hormones influence athletic performance and recovery. ROAR provides the practical training framework for the hormonal context your genome describes.
Sims, an exercise physiologist with a career researching sex differences in sports science, argues that most sports and nutrition science is derived from male physiology and therefore fails active women. The book details how the menstrual cycle should reshape training periodization, fueling, and recovery strategies.
The book that launched the modern conversation about training female athletes as women rather than "small men."
These peer-reviewed studies connect to the core ideas in this book. Each result has been scored for reliability.
The most accessible book specifically on MTHFR and the methylation cycle. Covers folate forms, homocysteine, and the B vitamin cofactors your body needs when the MTHFR enzyme runs at reduced efficiency.
Dr. Panda leads one of the world's top labs on time-restricted eating and circadian biology. His research on meal timing and metabolic health maps directly to what peer-reviewed studies have found for MTNR1B GG carriers — making when you eat as important as what you eat.
Covers the research on how specific nutrients — omega-3s, B vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins — affect brain and metabolic function. Directly relevant to FADS1 and BCMO1 variant research on nutrient conversion efficiency.
