In this episode, Mandy and Gillian bring light to the subject of how aging (gracefully) and having babies can impact not only the female athlete’s body but also, the decision to embark on competing for the first time.  In this episode, you will learn that it’s never too late to start in the sport and that age, stretch marks, cellulite, and the changes that come with childbearing and aging as a female should not be barriers to competing.  Mandy and Gillian share their personal experiences with physical changes and challenges they faced after having children and the helpful strategies that they have incorporated to remain competitive in their competition endeavors.   They encourage listeners to prioritize their health by checking hormones and share how they have sought professional guidance from functional health specialists to help look and feel their best in not only their competition endeavors but in their quest for optimal health and vitality!  Mandy and Gillian also highlight the importance of spousal support and finding balance between personal goals and family life as they share how they have established effective communication with their partners as they navigate the rigors of competition prep.
