It’s a Question and Answer day for this week’s episode. We asked you, the listeners, for a few questions that you'd like answered and we received many great questions. The topics range from why women need to be talking to their practitioners and coaches about training with their menstrual cycle and also if they have symptoms around painful periods. Kirstin reminds us that there are often other options besides birth control. She also answers a question about GI distress from a previous episode and when someone should eat or avoid gluten. Another listener asked about sports supplements. What should we really be taking and what is a waste? And Kirstin saves the best for last with what should we all be doing to prioritize recovery after our workouts? As always, this episode is packed with great information and tips. Thank you so much to everyone who submitted questions and to every single one of you that listens to the podcast.

Host: Dr. Kirstin Lauritzen is a triathlete in training for the Coeur d'Alene Ironman in June.
