LoCo Fit: Birth Control

I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to chat with my very good friend and colleague, the one and only Laurin Conlin - Owner of @teamlocofit, IFBB Bikini Pro, MS Exercise Science, and all around badass.

This video is the second in a two-episode video podcast on women’s health. Specifically, we discuss hormonal contraceptives - diving into different types of hormonal agents and their impact on female reproductive health and the body.

Birth control is a hot topic. In this video, me and Victoria cover a small fraction of the birth control topic. Like our menstrual cycle video, this is a ver...

The Excellence Cartel: Diving into PCOS

The Excellence Cartel: Episode 31

I had the privilege of joining Jason Theobald, Jeffrey Su, and Jeff Black on The Excellence Cartel podcast to discuss all things polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) - or, as I prefer to call it, anovulatory androgen excess (AAE).

We went in depth on the drivers and root causes of this highly complex and dynamic reproductive metabolic disorder, including touching on genetics, epigenetics, lifestyle, and other contributing co-factors. Throughout the show, I provide some insight as to where to start in terms of finding the right treatment and care for each individual case.

I hope you enjoy the show!

Super Human Radio: Women and Anabolic Steroids (& Hormonal Contraceptives)

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.
