You did the workout, you ate "clean,” and your body still isn't responding the way it used to. So what changed? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Carla DiGirolamo, a double Board-Certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist and Reproductive Endocrinologist specializing in caring for active and high-performing women, to unpack what's really happening to active women's bodies in mid-life and beyond.

We get into why hypothyroidism can be misdiagnosed because of chronic underfueling, what LEA and RED-S are (and why most doctors have never heard of them), hot takes on microdosing GLP-1s and muscle/bone loss for midlife women, and how HRT, testosterone therapy, and IUDs actually fit together. This isn't a decline — it's a detour, and it comes with a new playbook.
