The Olympics may be over but we aren’t done talking about women in sports.
We sit down with Dr. Emily Sauck, practicing gynecologist, former competitive athlete, and one of the rare humans working at the intersection of hormones, performance, and female physiology. She came to deliver. We're talking about everything the fitness world has been sleeping on when it comes to training women, like not including them in clinical studies until 1993. We've been out here training on borrowed science and we're done with it.
We get into why your Oura ring is probably not telling you the full story about your cycle phase. Why chronic stress is doing way more damage than your cortisol TikToks are letting on, and why your vinyasa class is not the recovery day you think it is. The pelvic floor therapy conversation that nobody thought to have with women post-surgery but absolutely should have been. What actually fueling a female body looks like when you stop following plans built for men. And what Dr. Emily is quietly building to help women stop guessing and start actually understanding their bodies.
Female athletes are finally getting the attention they deserve. It's time science caught up. .
We Want to Hear From You
Has training ever felt completely wrong for your body but you couldn't figure out why? Has anyone ever recommended pelvic floor therapy? What would change if you actually trained for your cycle?

Because friendship is medicine. And everyone watches women's sports, it's time the science caught up.
