We chat:

· Should female athletes be doing menstrual cycle phase-based training across the board?
· Some nuances between the follicular and luteal phases of the naturally menstrual cycle and how nutrition comes into the picture
· The many physiological changes that come along with perimenopause and ways to think about navigating this lifecycle stage and prepare for the postmenopausal years
