At Feisty Media, we are all about reclaiming language and turning it on its head. That's why we're proud to present our limited series, HORMONAL - Periods, Pills, and Pregnancy: How Women’s Hormones Impact Sports Performance.

This series is hosted by double-board certified Obstetrician and Reproductive Endocrinologist Dr. Carla DiGirolamo, who has been featured in Boston Magazine as one of "Boston's Best Doctors" every year since 2019.

Carla is joined by Feisty's own Selene Yeager, who has been hosting the Hit Play Not Pause podcast since 2020, and has conducted over 160 interviews with leading experts and top athletes in the perimenopause and menopause space. Combined with her background as a health and science journalist, Selene is great at reading the research and translating it into actionable steps for active women.

During these four episodes, you will learn what you need to know to work with your body's fluctuating hormones and perform your best.

Episode one covers all the basics about your hormones, including:

• How our ovarian hormones impact sports performance
• Whether you really need to sync your training routine with your menstrual cycle
• Why some women are more or less sensitive to their monthly hormone fluctuations
• What happens when your hormones start fluctuating in your 40s or flatten out in your 50s and beyond.
• How to know when and why you might need hormone testing

For everyone who is sick of the narrative that women's hormones are a curse, we are here for you. Together, we will learn how amazing it actually is to be hormonal.
