In this episode, ultrarunner, OB/GYN board certified physician, and mom of two Lauren Puretz, DO, returns to the podcast to dive deep into women's health with a focus on athletes navigating fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum. Lauren discusses complex reproductive health conditions like PCOS and endometriosis, especially how they present uniquely in athletic populations. She emphasizes the importance of proper diagnosis, individualization of treatment, and how these conditions can affect energy levels and performance. She offers practical advice for athletes with insulin resistance and stresses the importance of advocacy when pain is being overlooked in clinical settings. The conversation then shifts into training during pregnancy and the often-overlooked postpartum period, where Lauren draws from both medical expertise and personal experience. She breaks down trimester-specific considerations for athletes, safe return-to-sport strategies, and how tools like belly bands can help. The hosts and Lauren tackle common but under-discussed challenges such as postpartum hormone shifts, fatigue, and breastfeeding demands on athletes. The episode closes with a powerful question on what changes Lauren would make in the medical system to better support female athletes across their reproductive lifespan, highlighting the need for more inclusive, evidence-based care and research for all stages—from puberty to perimenopause.

Send us a textThe BET Awards consistently delivers a cultural touchstone for Black entertainment, and this year's 24th anniversary celebration was no exception. What began as a straightforward awards show evolved into a marathon of performances, social commentary, and unforgettable moments that kept viewers glued to their screens for over five hours.The night kicked off with a nostalgic 106 & Park tribute featuring Bow Wow, transporting audiences back to BET's golden era while setting the stage for what would be a performance-dominated evening. Musical highlights ranged from Mariah Carey's stationary but vocally powerful showcase to GloRilla's evidence of genuine artistic development. Meanwhile, questions swirled around certain honors, particularly Angel Reese winning Female Athlete of the Year for the third consecutive time when accomplished figures like Coco Gauff and Clarissa Shields were overlooked despite their monumental achievements.Behind the traditional broadcast, a parallel narrative unfolded through Kai Cenat's livestream, providing unprecedented backstage access and generating viral moments—most notably his encounter with Wale that exposed generational gaps in hip-hop recognition. This integration of streaming culture demonstrated how traditional award shows must evolve to remain relevant in today's fragmented media landscape.Perhaps most powerful were the moments where entertainment and activism intersected. Doechii acceptance speech addressing immigration protests happening outside the venue reminded everyone that celebrating Black excellence doesn't happen in a vacuum—it occurs against a backdrop of ongoing social justice struggles. Her words about military forces being deployed against peaceful protesters resonated deeply, sparking important conversations about solidarity across marginalized communities.From Tyler Perry announcing "Divorced Sisters" amid an eyebrow-raising speech about his legacy to Ciara creating an awkward moment pressing Jim Jones about marriage, the night balanced celebration with cringe, triumph with controversy. In doing so, it captured the beautiful complexity of Black cultural expression in all its unfiltered glory. Whether you're a longtime viewer or new to the BET universe, this year's ceremony proved why these cultural moments remain essential viewing in understanding the pulse of Black entertainment and beyond.

The boundaries of female athleticism are expanding in thrilling ways, yet the research supporting women's unique physiological journeys lags significantly behind. From my recent experience at the Female Athlete Conference in Boston, I've returned brimming with insights about how we're finally beginning to address this disparity.What makes this biennial gathering extraordinary is the spirit of collaboration. Sports medicine physicians, obstetricians, researchers, physical therapists, nutritionists, and coaches share knowledge freely, recognizing that advancing women's sports medicine requires collective effort rather than competition. This stands in refreshing contrast to the typically siloed approach in both healthcare and academia.A powerful theme emerged around trusting athletes to tell their own stories. In the shadow of the USA Gymnastics abuse scandal, healthcare providers are recognizing how critical it is to center athletes in their care decisions. This parallels what we need in maternal healthcare – placing the birthing person at the center while providers serve as supportive guides rather than authority figures. The most successful approach appears to be multidisciplinary, as demonstrated by the US rowing team where two athletes had babies three months apart during Olympic training and returned to win medals with comprehensive support.The conference revealed fascinating nuances about menstrual cycles, with research showing extreme variability in cycle length, ovulation timing, and hormone profiles among athletes. This variability makes generic cycle-syncing workout programs virtually impossible to implement effectively. More concerning were discussions around fertility risks in elite sport, where high training volumes combined with inadequate fueling can lead to anovulatory cycles even when menstruation appears regular.Perhaps most exciting was the focus on previously neglected populations – particularly masters athletes navigating perimenopause and menopause. With some women transitioning directly from postpartum to perimenopause (especially those having children in their 40s), there's an urgent need for research in this area. Equipment design also emerged as a critical barrier, with revelations about cyclists undergoing labioplasty because bike seats weren't designed for female anatomy.The most profound reframing questioned why we measure women's sporting advancement by how closely it approaches men's sports. What if instead, we focused on making women's sports the absolute best they can be without male performance as the benchmark? This perspective shift invites us to value women's sport for its unique contributions rather than as a perpetual game of catch-up.Join me as we continue exploring how these emerging insights can support your journey as an active woman through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond!___________________________________________________________________________Don't miss out on any of the TEA coming out of the Barbell Mamas by subscribing to our newsletter You can also follow us on Instagram and YouTube for all the up-to-date information you need about pelvic health and female athletes.

Get a free sample pack on us!This week on Your Diet Sucks, we're digging into one of the most misunderstood—and over-marketed—topics in endurance sports: nutrition for female athletes.You've probably heard the myths: women should eat for their body type, avoid carbs during their cycle, or that we're not just small men when it comes to fueling. But most of that advice isn't based on solid science; it's based on outdated research, rigid stereotypes, and a whole lot of pseudoscience.In this episode, Kylee and Zoë unpack:​Why most sports science has ignored female athletes for decades​How hormonal fluctuations, birth control, and life stage transitions affect fueling​What's actually different about female endurance physiology​The truth about somatotypes (ectomorph, mesomorph, endomorph) and why they're BS​Evidence-backed nutrition strategies for training, recovery, and long-term health​Why research gaps are still being filled by grifters, and how to stay skepticalWhether you're menstruating, on birth control, pregnant, postpartum, or in perimenopause—or you coach or care about someone who is—this episode is your myth-busting guide to what women really need to fuel their performance.Thanks to Janji for supporting the podcast!

Drawing from both her medical practice and personal experience as an elite endurance athlete, Dr. Puretz breaks down complex topics like energy availability, menstrual health, and hormonal birth control, offering practical advice for athletes navigating these issues. The discussion highlights how puberty and menstruation are affected by training load, the importance of not masking menstrual irregularities with birth control, and how coaches and caregivers can support young athletes during this pivotal time. The conversation also explores fertility concerns in current and retired athletes, including whether period loss during early athletic years may impact long-term reproductive health. Dr. Puretz discusses proactive steps athletes can take, such as hormone testing and fertility planning, and the growing trend of egg freezing among those delaying parenthood.

A lot of these injuries come from falls and the way the head moves during impact, not just from direct hits. That's why building neck strength is so important it helps reduce the risk by slowing down head movement when athletes fall or get knocked around.Another simple way to support brain health is by adding creatine. It's been shown to help the brain recover faster after a concussion and can be a helpful supplement for active kids and teens. Along with regular strength training and good chiropractic care to keep the body aligned, these small steps can go a long way in protecting young athletes.Highlights of the Podcast00:04 – Female athletes and concussions01:30 – The key solution: Neck strength04:23 – Why female athletes get concussions05:30 – Creatine for brain protection07:34 – How to take creatine (practical tips)09:06 – ACL injury risk and pelvic alignment09:45 – Final takeaway

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy joins Greg for today's 3 Martini Lunch. They break down Senate Democrats blocking a ban on males in women's sports, Andy's argument that Trump is most to blame for the Oval Office confrontation with Zelensky, and Andrew Cuomo's political comeback as he runs for mayor of New York City.First, they highlight how every Senate Democrat voted against legislation barring men from competing in women's sports, preventing the bill from advancing. They explain why Democrats refuse to change course, even as they keep handing Republicans a potent campaign issue.Next, Andy asserts that the biggest problem in Friday's heated Oval Office exchange was Trump himself—allowing the photo-op to drag on, failing to grasp the Russian threat, and positioning himself as neutral between Russia and Ukraine. He also argues against the type of war resolution Trump appears to support.Finally, they react as disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo officially launches his mayoral bid. While Cuomo correctly identifies many of New York City's biggest issues, Andy reminds listeners that Cuomo's own policies are largely responsible for the city's decline.Please visit our great sponsors:Download the FREE CFO's Guide to AI and Machine Learning at https://Netsuite.com/MartiniNever run out of MEAT go to https://omahasteaks.com/3ML subscribe and get 12 FREE burgers, FREE shipping, and an EXTRA 10% OFF.

   President Trump is promising an amazing speech for Congress and all Americans and the word circulating is he's putting all the cards on the table.  Is that a NATO exit?  The end of the United Nations?  A complete pullout of the Ukraine/Russia war?  More tariffs?  Grab some popcorn, it's only America's future on the line.    Democrats hate female sports and they just keep proving it in a losing effort that is amazingly stupid.  I guess this is how you try to keep your failing party together?  Not a single dem vote in the Senate to keep men out of women's sports.  Incredible.    The Premier of Ontario is promising economic devastation to America if Trump doesn't change his mind.  I don't know about you but I can't sleep at night thinking about no maple syrup or Canadian bacon.    The Houston Cougars own the Big 12 in men's basketball and they do it in a way that your favorite coaches would be proud of.  It's ugly but truly gritty.  KU played hard, tough and looked prettier almost all not.  But Houston was tougher and gets another win.    The Royals win behind blazing stuff from pitcher Daniel Lynch and the hitting of completely remade MJ Melendez.    Shannon Sharpe argues sports with Stephen A Smith on ESPN and refers to himself as Trump and Smith as Zelenskyy.  Hilarious.    The combine is over and we think we know what QB is going number one and highly praised movie got snubbed from OSCAR consideration for obvious reasons.
