Perimenopause and Menopause In Athletes w/ Dr Kate Ackerman [REPOST]

[REPOST] We are so excited to bring you our conversation with Dr. Kate Ackerman. Dr. Ackerman is the medical director of the Female Athlete Program in the Sports Medicine Division at Boston Children's Hospital and is now on the forefront of research involving female athletes and perimenopause and menopause. There are very few reliable studies involving older female athletes and Dr. Ackerman and her colleagues are working to change that with the  Female Athlete Program , an innovation hub for the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance. Their center brings together national and international sports medicine clinicians and researchers with the aim of answering fundamental physiological and sports performance questions related to female athletes. We cover a lot, including what supplements she recommends, why hormone replacement (HRT) can work, if you are a candidate for HRT, and what we women can do to help us feel strong and perform well from our 20s and 30s to our 60s and 70s.  Have a listen!
