Hormones Training the Long Game Navigating Perimenopause Postpartum Menopause
Description
Coach Loretta is joined by physical therapist Dr. Liesle Elsey to revisit a topic many runners and active women are navigating right now: perimenopause, postpartum in perimenopause, and menopause.
In this episode of The Dirt, we talk about what's actually happening in the body during hormonal shifts—and what helps. From changing recovery needs and joint stiffness to fluctuating energy and performance frustration, we share practical strategies around mobility, strength training, and recovery that support longevity and confidence.
This is a grounded, honest conversation focused on helping you adapt your training—not quit it—so you can stay strong, resilient, and in the sport and life for the long run, even when the hormone roller coaster feels unpredictable.
If you've ever felt "off" despite doing all the right things, this episode is for you.
