Hannah Dower is a PhD student working with the Western Bulldogs
AFLW club to investigate the impact of the menstrual cycle and
contraceptive use on elite athlete performance. Hannah has a
Bachelor in Sports Science, a Masters in Exercise Physiology and a
10-year career in strength and conditioning so she is EXTREMELY
qualified to answer all our menstrual cycle and PMS questions! You
might remember an episode from a few months ago where we shared
about our experiences of PMS. We received so many messages from you
guys saying you felt exactly the same so we decided to bring in an
expert to explain everything about the menstrual cycle and PMS. We
speak about what the menstrual cycle actually is, what is happening
with our hormones at various stages of our cycle, the importance of
tracking your cycle, the difference between PMS and PMDD, and if we
should train differently at different stages of our cycles.
WE MENTIONED Hannah recommended the book ‘Blood: The science,
medicine and mythology of menstruation by Dr Jennifer Gunter
