    #157 - Testosterone Therapy: What Does The Science Say & Where Are We Headed?

    What do high-quality scientific studies say about testosterone therapy for addressing low energy, stubborn body fat, low libido, and other impacts of changing hormones during perimenopause? In this episode, Louise Valentine, an award-winning women's health, fitness, and performance expert, breaks down what current research says about testosterone therapy for women, including its potential benefits, risks, and limitations. While testosterone may help improve libido, Louise explains why claims about muscle growth, fat loss, and injury prevention aren't yet backed by strong scientific evidence. She also discusses the importance of proper hormone testing, individualized dosing, and understanding the potential side effects of testosterone therapy. For active women and runners, Louise shares how nutrition, strength training, stress management, and smarter running strategies can support hormonal health. Through personal experiences and stories from her practice, she reminds listeners that understanding their bodies is just as important as finding the right treatment.

    #156 - Masterclass Part 2: How to Master Your Adrenal, Stress & Cortisol Regulation

    Most often, the key to better hormones, deeper sleep, a badass body composition, and stronger running isn't doing more, but learning how to slow down and streamline a targeted, more strategic approach - especially in midlife. In Part 2 of their adrenal, stress, and cortisol regulation masterclass, Louise Valentine, a multi award-winning women's functional health practitioner, scientist, and exercise physiologist, and Jen share practical ways to manage daily stress, support an optimal daily hormonal rhythm, maximize recovery and fitness results during perimenopause. From demanding workouts and busy family schedules to emotional stress and poor eating habits, they discuss how everyday stressors can affect your energy, mood, digestion, and fitness progress. They also share personal experiences with managing stress and healthy cortisol levels while balancing motherhood, relationships, and training. You'll discover simple strategies to support your nervous system, including walking after runs to decrease post-exercise cortisol levels, eating without distractions to optimize digestion, limiting screen time, and using foam rolling to support a productive parasympathetic downshift each night. Louise and Jen explain why female-specific fueling, strategic training, and intentional recovery matter just as much as working hard. The biggest takeaway? You don't need an expensive wellness routine to start making changes. Small, consistent habits can help you build a healthier, more supportive lifestyle while continuing to pursue your running and fitness goals. Start with one to three changes you can maintain, and give your body the recovery and love it deserves.

    #155 - Masterclass Part 1: How to Master Your Adrenal, Stress & Cortisol Regulation

    Often, the reason we're exhausted, struggling to recover, fat loss resistant, seeing rapid hormone decline, or noticing frustrating changes in our body isn't just "inevitable" perimenopause, but rather it's the stress our body is carrying every day and how it impacts our daily hormonal rhythm. In this episode, Louise Valentine, one of the world’s leading health, fitness and performance experts, welcomes back Jen for part one of a mini masterclass on adrenal, stress and cortisol regulation, and how everyday habits affect active women over 35. Louise explains the body's stress response, the three stages of HPA axis dysfunction, and why feeling fine doesn't always mean your body is recovering or functioning well. They discuss how running, intense workouts, caffeine, poor sleep, and underfueling can add to your body's overall stress load. Jen shares her own experience recognizing energy fluctuations and making small changes to her daily routine. The conversation also covers DHEA, optimizing hormone health, and why supplements require professional guidance. For female runners navigating perimenopause, this episode offers a chance to reassess training, fueling, and recovery habits. The biggest takeaway? Supporting your body isn't always about doing more. More often, it's about learning what our female body needs to recover, build optimal hormones, stay strong, and mitigate expedited perimenopause decline.

    #154 - FAQ: Do Strategies I Learn On This Podcast Apply To My Husband Too? Yes! Here's How!

    What if the health strategies you are learning for yourself could also help your husband feel better, sleep better, and stay stronger as he ages? In this episode, Louise Valentine, one of the world’s leading integrative health and fitness practitioners, explains why many of the foundational habits she teaches women can also support men. She covers protein and amino acids, hydration, vitamin D, omega-3s, creatine, magnesium, blood sugar balance, and better supplement choices. She also explains why dosage matters and why taking more supplements does not necessarily lead to better results. Louise shares how simple science-backed routines like eating a specific nourishing breakfast, strategic hydrating first thing in the morning, purposeful walking after dinner, and strategic caffeine timing can support energy, recovery, mood, cognition, mental, and hormone health. She also discusses cortisol dysregulation, especially in high-achieving people who may not realize that ambition, overworking, and constant mental stimulation can still create physiological stress. The takeaway is simple: most health, fitness, and longevity improvements do not require complicated protocols. Small, consistent habits tailored to the individual can help couples and families build healthier routines together.

    #153 - Why "Eat 100g of Protein Per Day" is Terrible Advice - Relative to Who WE Are

    Generic protein advice can sound simple, but for ambitious active women and runners in perimenopause, it misses what our female body actually needs. In this episode, Louise Valentine, a leading expert for perimenopausal active women and runners, challenges the recommendation of eating 100 grams of protein per day and explains why protein needs should reflect our unique body weight, training volume, recovery demands, hormonal shifts, and body composition goals. She discusses how active women, especially runners and endurance athletes, often require more protein to support muscle, hormones, stress resilience, injury prevention, and recovery. Louise also breaks down the importance of protein timing, post-workout fueling, pairing protein with carbohydrates, and spreading protein intake throughout the day rather than relying on large servings. She shares practical examples for breakfast, snacks, and meals while emphasizing that nutrition should adjust as training and goals change. The bigger takeaway: It's time to ditch one-size-fits-all nutrition rules. Your fueling strategy should support your activity level, recovery, hormones, and long-term health, not just hit a generic number. When we want optimal results to thrive and not just survive as active women, it takes a much more specific, female-specific science-backed, and logic-driven approach.

    #152 - How I Taught My Daughter The Importance of Getting Proactive Bloodwork as a Female Runner & Swimmer

    “Normal” and basic blood work does not tell us the whole story. In this episode, Louise Valentine, a multi-award-winning women's integrative health practitioner and exercise physiologist, shares why understanding which biomarkers to track and what they mean can be especially important for runners, active women, and their families. Using her daughter’s first blood draw as an example, Louise explains how she teaches her children to see health data as empowering, useful information rather than something to fear. She discusses the difference between standard and optimal lab ranges, cutting-edge female-specific lab ranges, why tracking trends over time matters, and several markers she watches closely, including advanced cholesterol markers, liver enzymes, and ferritin. Louise also shares how under-fueling can affect recovery, energy, performance, hormones, injury-risk, and long-term bone health in endurance athletes. Along the way, she offers practical tips for making blood draws less stressful and shares lessons from her own family’s health, fitness, and running journeys. The bigger message is simple: learning what your body needs today can help you make better decisions before small warning signs become bigger problems.

    #151 - My Doctor Offered Me Birth Control to Manage My Symptoms: Here's Why I Politely Declined

    What happens when the treatment offered to quiet your symptoms also quiets the hormonal signals you are trying to understand and working hard to support? In this episode, Louise Valentine, a leading functional health and fitness expert for perimenopausal active women and recreational runners, shares why she decided not to use birth control as a way to manage perimenopause symptoms. As an example of things to consider, she walks through her complicated health history, including periods of underfueling, overtraining, gut issues, hormone challenges, and the difficulty of navigating fragmented women’s healthcare. Louise explains why she wants to address root cause factors first, such as gut health imbalances, stress, cortisol regulation, and adjusting nutrition, lifestyle, and training. She clarifies why hormone suppression therapy is not the right next step for her. You will learn the importance of tracking symptoms, asking questions about testing and scans, and understanding that what works for one woman may not work for another. Ready to become an informed participant and fierce advocate in your own care? The bottomline is: Symptoms can provide useful information about our body's individual needs, and women deserve conversations that consider their individual health history, goals, and options rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all or outdated approaches.

    #150 - There is Never a "Perfect" Time, Only a Decision

    Waiting until life gets easier may be the very thing keeping you stuck. In this short episode, Louise Valentine shares a simple reminder for women navigating perimenopause, changing hormones, fitness struggles, and the pressures of midlife: there is no perfect time. There is only a decision. Louise, one of the world’s leading integrative health practitioners, explains how she sees women delay getting support even when their symptoms, lab trends, or daily energy suggest something needs attention. She shares why understanding the full picture, health history, stress, nutrition, training, hormones, and lifestyle, can help create a more personalized path forward instead of relying on endless supplements or quick fixes. She also opens up about her own challenges, continued functional medicine training, and why she chose to keep learning even during a difficult season of life. Louise emphasizes the importance of community, individualized support, and recognizing that needing help, including medical support when appropriate, is not a failure. The takeaway is simple: lean in, learn from what is not working, make adjustments, and keep moving forward.
