181. From Pregnancy to Perimenopause with Holly Sato, MD

I had the honor to sit down with Board certified OBGYN Holly Sato, MD for this episode about a topic so many of you have asked about over the years! Dr. Sato and I talk about everything from pregnancy to perimenopause for mountain bikers and gravel cyclists – including how saddles may even impact your experience on the bike (you may need to make some adjustments!). This insight is applicable to many of us, whether children are a part of our lives or not. Dr. Sato not only shares what you can do to empower yourself through the many seasons of life as a menstruating individual, but also the signs and symptoms that you may not expect in perimenopause. Give this episode a listen to better understand how your body may change from pregnancy to perimenopause, and what you could do about it. Thanks again for sharing your time, energy, and expertise for this episode, Dr. Sato! I am so grateful for you.  Here are some links referenced in this interview that you may find useful: The Menopause Society: https://menopause.org/ Holly’s Instagram: @_hollywannacracker Here are some other episodes to check out: 175. 10 Tips for New Mountain Bikers 112.
