WHU 103: Is your undereating affecting your cycle? Spoiler: it is.

When we talk about fueling and exercise women immediately pull the “but I’m not an athlete” card. We know, you’ve got an Instagram feed full of ripped athletes and people who train for a living (and probably have a full time chef) and wouldn’t consider comparing yourself to them. What if we told you that moderate exercise 3-5 days per week and a calorie deficit that is smaller than most ‘weight loss’ plans can affect your cycle. Now you’re listening. In this important episode I share the mic with my friend and colleague Dr. Briana Botsford ND. Briana is an Ironman, Naturopathic Doctor and mother who has a passion for helping women understand their metabolism, energy and hormones. This episode is important for all women who exercise, whether you feel like an athlete or not. Trust us, we’ll convince you you’re worth the look into your food and performance. Be sure to follow Briana on Instagram and check out her programs for women who are fatigued and fed up with underperforming.

Welcome to Real Integrative Medicine, where we break down the barriers between evidence and integrative practice. Hosted by Dr. Jordan Robertson, ND, our mission is to empower both patients and clinicians to make confident, evidence-informed decisions with integrative medicine. What's real? What does evidence mean? How should research change our day-to-day health choices? The show will cover the intersection between health, habit change and mindset to help you make confident and science-backed decisions in your health care. The podcast is the sister to our Youtube channel, Real Integrative Medicine, which is geared towards practitioners who want to make evidence-informed recommendations for their patients, without having to dig into the research themselves.
