  • S2E14: How Inflammation Interferes with Performance

    S2E14: How Inflammation Interferes with Performance
    Apr 12 2022
    The topic this week is inflammation as Kirstin describes the key drivers of inflammation and how to determine if they are holding you back from performing. There are many common causes that most people ignore or don't think is an issue until they end up with injuries and illnesses that prevent them from being able to race or be competitive. With the triathlon season starting up for many, it's a great time to do a review, and also a reminder of what to look out for so that you can reduce inflammation and carry on performing.

  • S2E13: Fit for Performance

    S2E13: Fit for Performance
    Apr 5 2022
    Dr. Kirstin discusses the possibility of combining high performance and health. It's very common to hear that health is sacrificed at the time for peak performance. And that might be fine for a short period of time, but athletes are either not focusing on their health in the off times, or are maintaining that peak performance for a long period of time and are then surprised when their body isn't able to maintain that for any longer. Which ends up showing up as injury after injury, to getting sick, to all sorts of different issues. In this episode we dive into the foundation for creating a healthy athlete that also is able to achieve peak performance.

    Mar 29 2022
    Do you know how much sleep is right for you and also what quality sleep looks like? On this week’s episode, Dr. Kirstin Lauritzen discusses the different phases of sleep; how much time, on average, we should be spending in certain phases of sleep, and a lot of different tips to try to improve your sleep. For example, do you know which phase of sleep is optimal for repairing and recovering from your training? Do you also know that hormones can affect your sleep cycle, too?

    Mar 22 2022
    Tenille Hoogland addresses the best tips for peri-menopause athletes and beyond. Peri-menopause to post-menopause is another time of life where the body begins to shift and make changes and it can cause some loss of confidence and frustration for athletes when what worked before seems to not be working now. Tenille Hoogland addresses the best tips for peri-menopause athletes and beyond. She walks us through the mindset shifts we get to make through the journey into peri-menopause as well as how training, nutrition and recovery can shift, specifically for you, for your best performance.

  • S2E9: Managing Weight Loss in Female Athletes

    S2E9: Managing Weight Loss in Female Athletes
    Mar 15 2022
    When athletes compete in a sport that has weight classes it can be very tricky to lose weight while also maintaining and striving to improve performance. It's common for this to cause many issues, particularly with female athletes, as advice that is commonly given does not take into account hormones and female physiology. Kirstin discusses a case study where weight loss combined with the stresses of life, training and pressures from her coaches and team turned into severe issues with the athlete's performance and overall health. Hopefully this episode provides some answers for athletes who have experienced an issue like this in the past and also promotes change and awareness around performance and health for female athletes.

  • S2E8: The Important Role of Mitochondria

    S2E8: The Important Role of Mitochondria
    Mar 8 2022
    Have you ever had an injury, ache or pain, or really low energy that couldn't be explained or fixed? One mistake that athletes and sports medicine practitioners make is they don't look deeper into why that athlete is experiencing those chronic symptoms. One very critical factor that leads to either chronic pain, inflammation and injuries or optimal performance, increased resistance to fatigue and the ability to maintain speed and keep your energy up even at the end of the race has to do with something called the mitochondria. In this episode, we cover what your mitochondria are, how you can support them, and a shift in perspective on how you see sport, injuries, inflammation and nutrition.

  • S2E7: Certified Dietitian and Nutritionist Drew Mulvey Discusses Amenorrhea & Under-eating

    S2E7: Certified Dietitian and Nutritionist Drew Mulvey Discusses Amenorrhea & Under-eating
    Feb 22 2022
    Certified Dietitian and Nutritionist Drew Mulvey joins Kirstin this week to discuss a very common issue for female athletes; under eating and amenorrhea (i.e. when you don't have your period). Drew walks us through her journey and how sport and a lack of knowledge in nutrition lead to an eating disorder and losing her period. But, sport is also what helped her overcome those challenges and became a big part of her choosing to go into nutrition as a career to help other female athletes. In this episode we dive into what her journey was like getting back to performing well, enjoying her training again and getting her period back.
