Now that we know more about menstrual health and why, as women, we should learn to work with our unique female physiology, we can dig into the “how do we actually do that?”. On this second episode, Maghalie sits down with Professional Mountain Biker Haley Batten, and Dr. Georgie Bruinvels. Together, they discuss Haley’s menstrual health journey, and Haley explains how she was able — with the help of Dr. Bruinvels — to recover a healthy menstrual cycle after years of not having one, and how this newfound energy affected her athletic performances. To follow Dr. Stacy Sims: @drstacysims and www.drstacysims.com This podcast is presented to you by Rapha. _________About half of the population is female. Yet, most research on health and performance are done on men, in part because it’s easier to compare since their hormones pattern are always the same. But women are not small men and the menstrual cycle is something that is part of our lives. I believe there can be a tremendous performance and health advantage in knowing how to work WITH our physiology.Menstruation is something that is not often talked about, but I believe we should not be ashamed of it and that it needs to be talked about. In this series, follow along on Maghalie's journey as she tries to learn more about the menstrual cycle.
