Ep. 34 /Understanding the Athletic Body: Insights on Training, Recovery, and Menstrual Health with Lindsey

Jul 13

Show Notes:

Welcome to this exciting episode of the Period Recovery Podcast! Today, I have the pleasure of chatting with a fellow dietitian and friend, Lindsey, who specializes in sports nutrition. Naturally, our conversation today will be centered around everything athletic!

Listen in to hear more about:

The body's inability to distinguish between exercise and genuine danger leads it to prioritize energy for movement above all else.
The power of a natural, regular, and predictable menstrual cycle, allows athletes to tailor their training around it.
The importance many athletes place on monitoring heart rate variability, which can be a more accurate indicator of recovery than standard heart rate figures.

So, join us as we explore the intersections of athletic performance, nutrition, and menstrual health!

I hope that you find this episode helpful.
