Hormonal Ep. 3: Hormone Related Conditions and Concerns Women's Performance

At Feisty Media, we are all about reclaiming language and turning it on its head. That's why we're proud to present our limited series, HORMONAL - Periods, Pills, and Pregnancy: How Women’s Hormones Impact Sports Performance.
This series is hosted by double-board certified Obstetrician and Reproductive Endocrinologist Dr. Carla DiGirolamo, who has been featured in Boston Magazine as one of "Boston's Best Doctors" every year since 2019.
Carla is joined by Feisty's own Selene Yeager, who has been hosting the Hit Play Not Pause podcast since 2020, and has conducted over 160 interviews with leading experts and top athletes in the perimenopause and menopause space. Combined with her background as a health and science journalist, Selene is great at reading the research and translating it into actionable steps for active women.
During these four episodes, you will learn what you need to know to work with your body's fluctuating hormones and perform your best.
Episode three discusses questions and confusion around hormone related conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, Hashimotos, and more. Plus, Sarah and Dr. DiGirolamo address fertility and egg freezing.
