Episode 453 IronRadio - Guests Scanlon and Ruffner Topic Science of the Cycle

A crazy weekend leads to a slightly altered format this week. After Drs. Nelson and Lowery tackle news, Dr. Kelsey Scanlon and grad student Kayla Ruffner discuss the menstrual cycle and performance. Plenty of questions get answered. How prevalent are women in sport at various levels? What do monthly hormone changes do to power output and reflexes? Do women on birth control manipulate such changes? And what does science say about mood changes across the month in women? Get answers! Also tune in for discussion on fat loss, inflammation, mushrooms and health, and the gut microbiome. Finally, sincere thanks to supporters Holly, Prasan, David, and Joe. You are appreciated!
