With a blend of science and practical advice, she explains how to tailor training programs to harness the physiological changes that occur throughout the menstrual cycle, offering strategies for athletes and coaches to gain a competitive edge.

Her work with CUBC women has put the spotlight on this critical area of sports science, making it clear that understanding and leveraging these natural cycles can lead to remarkable improvements in performance.
