In this empowering episode, we address a common concern for women runners over 35: maintaining your running identity amidst hormonal changes. Our host, Louise, a seasoned holistic practitioner and women's health coach, dispels the myth that aging and hormonal shifts signal the end of a vigorous running life.
Packed with actionable advice, this episode helps you stay strong, resilient, and injury-free. Learn essential nutritional strategies for hormonal health, understand the vital role of gut health in overall wellness and running efficiency, and explore techniques to manage cortisol levels and stress. Louise also shares the inspiring story of Dr. Anne, a remarkable runner in her 50s, who continues to achieve personal bests and defy the odds.
