Dr Frankie is an NHS Doctor, media and content creator who offers factual and relatable health advice in preventative medicine. 

A qualified doctor working on the frontline, Dr Frankie graduated with a degree in Medicine and Surgery in 2018. During this time, Dr Frankie set out to better understand the risk factors for cancer, becoming heavily involved in clinical trials at Barts Cancer Institute for Renal and Bladder cancer. 

Alongside all of this whilst juggling university, Dr Frankie started an educational social media page to provide expertise on a range of health and wellbeing topics. In her well-known #MedicalMonday, Frankie posted a weekly poll on her Instagram to allow people to ask health-related questions, each time focusing on a different topic. Frankie’s profile in this space began to grow, and as a result Frankie now also makes regular appearances to disseminate her knowledge, becoming an enthusiastic public speaker for general preventative health. 

Although there are many things I’d love to discuss with Dr Frankie, today we share a conversation about training, nutrition and the female menstrual cycle,. The episode covers the entire cycle story, exploring what a ‘normal cycle’ looks like, when ovulation occurs, and how to identify important changes that sometimes signal significant health problems. Dr Frankie also discusses how a women's strength may be affected by constantly changing hormone levels, and how we can adjust our training and nutrition to reach our full potential at any point in our cycle. 

This episode is important for both men and women, so if you're a female (or know one), I strongly recommend you listen...

- When you should be concerned about your periods?!

- 3 essential things women should do to live a healthier life

- Can training on your period help with menstrual cramps?

- Why you should track your period if you work out

- How do we know when we can push ourselves harder when we work out on our periods?

- Should we replace the iron we lose during our period?

- Why you need to eat before working out
