Episode 13: The Female Body (Female Athlete Stories #2)

This is the second episode in our special new series, Female Athlete Stories. Katie and Elena dive into many elements of female physiology that our form submitters cited as the biggest challenges of being a female athlete: periods, PMS, contraception choices, pregnancy, and menopause. We also do a deep dive on eating disorders, REDs, and body image, incorporating stories from our own lives with the stories we received from our community. If you think that you or someone you know is experiencing an eating disorder, please use this NEDA resources link to find more information on getting help.
