This episode is a truth bomb in the best way. Danielle Kepics—a functional medicine PA, former therapist, and absolute powerhouse joins us for a no-BS conversation about performance, periods, and why “just push through” culture is failing athletes. We unpack what’s actually healthy, how stress impacts performance, and why eating more and doing less might be the exact reset you need.

In this episode, we talk about:

• How endurance athletes confuse discipline with disorder
• The stress bucket & why performance isn't just about training
• Why under-eating is the biggest roadblock for most women
• What a “normal” period actually looks like—and why it matters
• How to train in alignment with your life season
• Coming off birth control & cycle health 101
