SHR#2427: Women and Anabolic Steroids: The Intersect Between Health & Performance
I was honored to have an opportunity to sit down with the godfather of fitness podcasting, Carl Lanore, to discuss all things women and steroids. Although the interview started off with more focus on women and anabolic androgenic steroids, we quickly shifted gears to also include the use of hormonal contraceptives.
Carl and I covered a lot of ground - health implications associated with use, management techniques, and even off-topic discussions about the hormonal impact of hysterectomies, myths about women’s health, and my views on post-menopausal hormone replacement therapy.
I was fired up and excited to share a lot of new material - helping to make this another one of my best podcasts to date. Enjoy!
ps. Remember, by sharing and reposting, you’re helping to spread critical knowledge on this highly misunderstood and under-discussed topic.
Check out the show summary below.
More and more women are driven to present shredded, muscular physiques. From Hollywood actresses preparing for a role in an action movie to athletes competing in sports. Everyday women are now adapting this look and as such are turning to performance and appearance enhancing drugs to get the job done. But do high levels of androgens posses a unique risk to women? And can that risk be mitigated by taking specific steps? This interview became so much more when the discussion about hormonal birth control pills entered the mix. So many women don't realize their birth control is doing many of the same things performance enhancing drugs are doing.
