Dr Keay is a member of the British Association of Sport and Exercise Medicine and the British Menopause Society. She is also the author of ‘Hormones, Health and Human Potential: A guide to understanding your hormones to optimise your health and performance”. In this podcast we discuss the importance of hormones in achieving our full potential in terms of both health and exercise performance. We explore the connection between hormones, training, nutrition and recovery in relation to athletic performance. We learn how hormones play a crucial role in driving positive adaptations and how our behaviors and lifestyle can affect their effectiveness. We emphasize the importance of finding the optimal balance for each individual athlete and provide tips on how to harness hormones to support training and achieve peak performance. We also explore the concept of allostasis and how it relates to the body's ability to adapt to exercise. We address the misconception that more training is always better and highlight how stress and psychological factors can affect our hormones. Balancing all aspects of our lifestyle, including nutrition and mental well-being, is crucial for optimizing our hormone levels. We discuss the pressure athletes face to perform perfectly and how it can affect their hormones. We touch on the effects of stress and anxiety on hormones and offer practical solutions for managing them. We also mention common signs of hormonal imbalances, such as unexplained weight gain and the potential negative effects on the body. Lastly, we discuss the changes in hormones as we age, particularly the significant decrease in female hormones after menopause. We emphasize the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including proper training, nutrition and recovery, as well as incorporating strength training to combat potential muscle loss. Additionally, we highlight the importance of vitamin D supplementation.

Hormones bring your DNA to life. They drive your training adaptations, help build muscle and bone, modulate your immune system, and much, much more. As peri and postmenopausal women we often focus on estrogen and progesterone (and maybe testosterone), but others like human growth hormone, vitamin D, and cortisol deserve our attention, too. And though hormone therapy is one tool for optimizing your hormonal health during this time of life, it's not the only one. This week we dive into it all with Dr. Nicky Keay, author of Hormones, Health and Human Potential: A Guide to Understanding Your Hormones to Optimise Your Health and Performance.Dr. Nicola “Nicky” Keay is an Honorary Clinical Lecturer in Medicine at University College London. She lectures and researches in areas of exercise endocrinology, with publications in this field.

Last time Nicky was on the podcast, we discussed in depth the issue of relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S) for both males and females. This time around we take a step back and talk about the role of hormones in health (how they underlie all physiology), how hormones change across the lifecycle, the risks associated with cardiovascular disease for women and how hormones play a major role in that, the diurnal rhythm of hormones and how this impacts on what we might learn from blood tests, and how the environment and our health behaviours can both enhance hormone function or work against it, and just testing hormones themselves may not give us a complete picture.Nicky Keay is a medical doctor with expertise in the field of exercise endocrinology.

In this episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition, I talk with a returning guest, Dr Nicky Keay. Listen to Episode 38: Understanding Hormones for Female Performance for my original conversation with Dr Nicky Keay. Dr Nicky joins us again to share her love of hormones and the new book she has just written on this topic “Hormones, Health and Human Potential. A guide to understanding your hormones to optimise your health and performance”. Working in this field for over 30 years, Nicky has amassed a wide variety of different experiences and advice that she shares in stories throughout the book. Zooming out, Dr Nicky introduces listeners to what hormones are and how they work in the body. Nicky explains the importance of hormones for health, as well as the role our behaviors have on our hormones, things like sleep, nutrition, exercise, and stress levels. Nicky ranks sleep as the most important factor for healthy hormones, advising listeners to prioritize sleep in the hours before midnight. Second, Nicky discusses the importance of varied exercise, avoiding either extremes of doing too much or not enough. Thirdly, Nicky touches on nutrition for hormones: going long periods without eating increases cortisol and should be avoided. We discuss hormones throughout the lifespan, starting before we're even born. We talk about how our exercise and nutrition needs differ as we age in response to fluctuation hormones. Dr Nicky and I talk about being proactive to get the most out of our hormones rather than being reactive when problems arise. We touch on the menopause and debunk the myth that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is dangerous. Nicky speaks to the benefits of HRT during the menopause and for athletes experiencing RED-S. We differentiate between HRT and the contraceptive pill to protect bone health in women with amenorrhea. Nicky's book and this discussion on hormones is not just for women: men have hormones and can suffer with RED-S too! Hormones also play a big role in digestion and the gut, something Nicky's book explores more. Dr Nicky's book, “Hormones, Health and Human Potential. A guide to understanding your hormones to optimise your health and performance”, is set to be published October 28th.

I feel like todays episode will be as impactful as my one with Ally. Both Dr Nicola Keay and Dr Stefanie Potreck are pioneers and huge advocates of dancers mental and physical health around the world. And whilst Ally's episode comes with lots of personal stories and heartfelt messages, Nicky and Stephanie have brought all the facts to further strengthen that message. The dance world typically views 'getting your period' as a sign of unwanted weight gain or the end of the 'ideal pubescent body type' that especially the ballet world seem to be obsessed with. But these two amazing women have had enough and are spreading the message that periods are not only a marker of health but also crucial to mindset, recovery and performance. Let's start with Stephanie who is a former dancer turned doctor and sports nutritionist specialising in the treatment of relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S) and amenorrhea (which is the medical description for the absence of menstrual periods). Steph also offers a wonderful webinar called LEAP (with another former guest of the podcast, psychologist Philippa Ziegenhardt, hello Philippa!) that assists students and parents with the transition to living, eating, adjusting and performing when training overseas. Honestly, what a fantastic offering. Even though I didn't move overseas, the move from Queensland to Victoria for my own training was enough of a huge task, draining both physically and mentally and I would have loved to have a program like this. And Nicky, well she is an Honorary Clinical Lecturer in Medicine at the University College of London, research fellow in the department of Sport and Exercise Science at Durham University, a member of the British Association of Sport and Exercise Medicine and a speaker on Dance Endocrinology for the National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science. On top of all this Nicky is also a qualified ballet and pilates teacher and her aim is to redefine optimal health and fitness for the individual.

It's been nearly 100 years since insulin was first used in the treatment of diabetes—a life-changing medical advancement for those who have diabetes or know someone who does. However, too much insulin can cause blood sugar levels to drop too low, taking someone from a state of hyperglycemia and putting them into a state of hypoglycemia. Press play to learn more about hypoglycemia, and to discover: What physiological effects are caused by hypoglycemia versus hyperglycemia, and whether one is more dangerous than the other What the difference is between fast and slow-acting insulin Why people who have type 1 as opposed to type 2 diabetes might be more prone to become hypoglycemic Honorary Clinical Lecturer at the University of Sheffield in the UK and consultant diabetologist, Peter Novodvorsky, PhD, studies the effect of hypoglycemia on cardiovascular health. About twenty years ago, the focus sat pretty narrowly on the detrimental and unpleasant autonomic symptoms caused by hypoglycemia, like shakiness, sweatiness, confusion, and hunger. “Since then, we've moved on, and we know that hypoglycemia has much wider negative impacts on the human body, in particular on the cardiovascular system,” says Novodvorsky. Why? Novodvorsky explains the three natural defenses against hypoglycemia, one of which is activation of the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary system. This increases the level of blood glucose, but also causes changes in heart rate and puts a lot of stress on the body. Part of Novodvorsky's work focuses on dead in bed (DIB) syndrome, which is when an otherwise young and healthy individual with type 1 diabetes goes to bed feeling fine, only to be found dead in their bed the next morning. This was first described in the early 1990s in the UK; since then, other reports from other areas of the world have followed. The possible mechanism, explains Novodvorsky, could be a hypoglycemia-induced cardiac arrhythmia. As part of a study designed to look at the effects of clinical hypoglycemia on the cardiovascular system, subjects wore a continuous glucose monitor and Holter monitor to record heart activity. This study resulted in several interesting findings, including that hypoglycemic episodes are far more frequent than expected, and the majority of hypoglycemic events during the night—and even many during the day—go entirely unnoticed by the person. The study also confirmed that hypoglycemia leads to QT prolongation, an electrical disturbance of the heart that can be fatal. Novodvorsky shares information about the physiology of hypoglycemia, the types of sugar responses in different people with type 1 diabetes versus type 2 diabetes, the conditions under which heart rate might decrease rather than increase during a hypoglycemic event, interventions for detecting hypoglycemic events during the day or night—especially in individuals who can't always tell when they are hypoglycemic, how well the pancreas controls glucose levels, and more.
