Show notes
- All the early studies for sport science are done on men, and one of the excuses for not doing them on women is menstrual cycles (8:15)
- According their own cycles, there are low hormones teams and high hormones teams, each one with their own ideal exercises (12:55)
- I'd really like to re-frame the whole idea of over-training, and say it's low energy, cause low energy states happens in men as well, and nobody talks about it (18:26)
- Most women won't say they are on their period when they're training, because that would mean they are training hard enough (45:40)
- The period has arrived, is everything lost? are pills always the solution (35:02)
- Today, nutrition and genetics get together to find out the right supplements (56:55)
