The health care challenges of the female athlete

from The Middle Miles · host IRaceLikeAGirl

Why is it so challenging to be an older female endurance athlete and navigate the conventional health care system? In this episode, Angela and Amy share some of the health issues they have had to confront as they move through their 40s, and what they have learned.  This is not medical advice, just two female athletes who have dealt with iron issues, thyroid issues, sleep disturbances, and more.  Lots of insights in this one and we hope you find some solace in not being alone when things start to feel out of whack, but you can't find an answer.
