58. How do you make a Hormone?
Description
This week on The Gi Spot, Rach and Kaz tackle a topic that’s been whispered about in locker rooms for too long—menopause—and what it means for women who live and breathe Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. From night sweats to joint pain, mood swings to the mystery of suddenly forgetting your go-to guard pass, they pull no punches (and throw a few jokes) in this candid conversation.
They share their own experiences, swap survival tips from the mats and beyond, and break down the physical, mental, and emotional curveballs menopause can throw at grapplers. Expect laughs, blunt honesty, and the kind of “no shame” real talk you wish happened more often in the gym.
Whether you’re going through it, seeing it on the horizon, or training alongside someone who is, this episode is a sweaty, relatable deep dive into rolling through life’s biggest transition with grit, grace, and maybe an extra towel.
