Recently, Sage Canaday called into question Cameron Hanes participation in running events by pointing out some of the products he has openly discussed using. The topic raises questions about what the best process is for maintaining clean sport. I discuss what I believe both of their broader points include, and potential options to minimize the divide.

Super shoes, extreme in race carb consumption, and doping was a big topic in the running news the past week. We saw both Sebastian Sawe and Yomif Kejelcha go under 2 hours for the first time in a sanctioned event. Much of the conversation around these performances were centered around innovations in shoe technology, carbohydrate fueling strategies, and doping suspicion.    Episode Sponsors: ProBio: probionutrition.com/endurance Code: Endurance (20% Off) LMNT: drinkLMNT.com/HPO (free sample pack with purchase) deltaG: deltagketones.com Code: BITTER20 (20% Off)   Podcast Details: Support HPO: zachbitter.com/hposponsors HPO Website: zachbitter.com/hpo  Zach's Coaching: zachbitter.com/coaching Zach's Journal: substack.com/@zachbitter Find Zach: zachbitter.com | IG: @zachbitter | X: @zbitter | FB: Zach Bitter | Strava: Zach Bitter

Send us Fan MailTrying to conceive can turn into a crash course in hormones overnight, and the medication list can feel like a different language. We slow it down and translate what fertility medications actually do in the body, why midwives still need to understand them even when we are not the prescribers, and how to support patients through the stress that often comes with IUI, IVF, and “why is this taking so long?” moments. We walk through the most common reason fertility care starts: ovulation problems. From anovulation and PCOS to the sometimes overlooked conversation about luteal phase length and early progesterone support, we talk about what might be happening on the HPO axis and what clinicians are trying to change with treatment. Then we break down the big names patients hear, including Clomid (clomiphene citrate) and letrozole (Femara), comparing how they work, what side effects to expect, and why practice has shifted toward letrozole for many people with PCOS and insulin-related hormonal patterns. We also dig into metformin and insulin resistance, because PCOS is not just “about weight” and fertility care should not be built on shame. Finally, we zoom out to the broader IVF medication lineup, including gonadotropin injections, GnRH agonist or antagonist protocols like Lupron, the hCG trigger shot, and progesterone support. We end with practical safety counseling, including multiples risk and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome warning signs, plus clear guidance on when it is time to refer to reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI). #FertilityMeds #PathToPregnancy #TTC #NavigatingFertility #PharmacologyForMidwives  #ConceptionSupport #ReproductiveEndocrinology #EvidenceBasedMidwifery #InfertilityCare

In this second of two parts, I sit down with Victoria Felkar again to unpack the complicated, often glamorized world of androgens, testosterone therapy, and anabolic steroids for women. Are these hormones empowering tools—or ticking time bombs? How do you know the difference? We dive into what's really happening beneath the surface when women start layering in testosterone or other androgens, especially without a solid hormonal foundation in place. Have you ever wondered why some women feel amazing on testosterone, while others spiral into acne, hair loss, mood swings, or worse? What role do estradiol and progesterone really play? And why might "more" hormones actually push you further from health instead of closer to it? Victoria breaks down the science in a way that makes sense—and shares why context, dosing, and metabolic health matter more than most clinics admit. We also talk about the cultural shift around hormone optimization, the risks of black-market sourcing, cycling versus long-term use, and why chasing side effects with more prescriptions can backfire. Is it possible to use these compounds responsibly? What should you monitor? And how do you protect your future fertility, heart, and brain while pursuing strength, libido, or physique goals? In this episode, we uncover: How high androgens interact with insulin resistance and inflammation. Why estradiol and progesterone should be your hormonal foundation first. What happens to fertility and the HPO axis on steroids. How black market and compounded hormones increase hidden risks. Why hormone balance works like an ecosystem, not isolation.

This conversation is one I've been wanting to have for a long time.I invited Robyn Kievit onto the podcast because she is doing something genuinely rare. She is the first dietician to become a nurse practitioner, she specialises in eating disorders, disordered eating and body image, and over the past several years she has become deeply educated in hormone therapy and perimenopause. She is one of very few clinicians in the world looking at all of this together, as one whole picture. And that matters enormously for the women I work with.We talk about what perimenopause actually feels like, why the hormonal shifts of this life phase can cause eating disorder symptoms to surge, what hormone therapy is and who it might help, and why so many women are being dismissed by their doctors when they deserve so much better. We also talk about body image, aging, grief, and what it means to enter this next season of life with compassion rather than resistance.This episode is for you if:You're in perimenopause or approaching it and want to understand what's actually happening in your bodyYour anxiety, depression or eating disorder symptoms have surged and you don't know whyYou've been dismissed by a doctor and told it's too early to seek supportYou have a history of an eating disorder and want to understand how that intersects with hormonal changesYou're struggling with body image as your body changes with ageYou want to know your options, natural, hormonal, and otherwise, for supporting yourself through this transitionYou believe, like I do, that you don't have to just white-knuckle your way through thisIn this episode, we cover:✨ The signs of perimenopause that often get missed or dismissed, and why they matter✨ How hormonal changes affect mood, sleep, cognition and anxiety in ways that are genuinely physiological, not just in your head✨ Why anxiety and depression can surge during perimenopause, especially if you have a history of either✨ The HPA and HPO axes explained in plain English, and why they're so central to how you feel during this transition✨ What hormone therapy actually is, who it can help, and what the current guidance really says✨ Why birth control pills and IUDs are considered hormone therapy, and what that means for you✨ The enormous gap in clinical education around eating disorders and menopause, and why Robyn created her course to address it✨ How to advocate for yourself if you're being dismissed by a doctor✨ Why bone health and cardiovascular health make hormonal support even more important for women with eating disorder histories✨ The body image and grief piece of aging, and why our bodies changing is not something to be corrected✨ What it means to enter the archetype of the crone, the wise woman, with self-compassion rather than fear✨ Why you are allowed to ask not to be weighed at a medical appointment✨ Robyn's course for clinicians and why it existsPowerful quotes from the episode:

The episode opens with a lighthearted conversation about Valentine's Day plans before shifting to the Super Bowl, which, despite best efforts, felt underwhelming. The commercials did not deliver either, but the halftime show definitely sparked discussion. With J. Cole releasing his long-anticipated retirement album The Fall Off, there was no avoiding a conversation about what this moment means in hip-hop. The discussion moves to comedy, including a review of Katt Williams' latest special, and a reflection on being grateful that 2026 is not starting as turbulent as it has for Corey Holcomb. A recent trip to San Diego for a work-related symposium leads into a meaningful moment of getting home just in time to see a son off for Senior Night. There is also a breakdown of the Keystone leadership course, including a standout quote that left a lasting impression. Current events take center stage. The USS Truxtun was involved in a collision with a USNS supply ship during a replenishment-at-sea, raising concerns not only about the incident itself but also about individuals recording and posting the event. A recent arrest of a Naval Officer in uniform for lewd conduct prompts a broader discussion about accountability and representation. Questions are raised about the HPO program and what it actually entails, while a social media post about a mother PCSing sparks dialogue about perspective and sacrifice. The CNO's recent interview with Military Times is examined, followed by a response to a listener's question about finding the motivation to reenlist. The conversation turns reflective. What should a Sailor understand before becoming a Chief? How important is it to truly know the details of your people's family lives? Should non-Chiefs ever see the contents of a charge book? Is it wrong to withhold feedback on a weak package? Practical leadership topics round out the episode, including Career Development Board do's and don'ts, before closing with a spirited Do Better segment. One critique about physical fitness standards and incentives sparks debate.

The sport of ultramarathon is growing! With that, we have much more exposure to the wide range of events that fall within the ultra category. With growth, we see increased competitive pressure, but not always in a uniform manner. Let's discuss what this means for the different disciplines within ultramarathon, and what we will likely see in the coming years.

The Luminescence Podcast, hosted by Schuyler Grant, powered by Commune. A space for science-based, culturally curious, and politically fearless conversations illuminating women's health. Ever wonder why your sex drive vanishes, your brain turns to mush, or you want to rage-quit your entire life for no reason? Blame your hormones, or, more specifically, how estrogen and progesterone run your brain. In this episode, Schuyler Grant and her expert panel (Dr. Jolene Brighten, Dr. Marisa Snyder, and Rosie Acosta) break down why it can feel like your brain is actively betraying you, particularly in perimenopause. What you'll learn: Estrogen and progesterone are brain hormones (not just “lady parts” hormones) The hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis explained in plain language Why perimenopause brings brain fog, mood swings, anxiety, and vanishing libido The menstrual cycle phases and how hormones shift throughout What's happening to your serotonin, dopamine, and GABA levels Why 80% of perimenopause symptoms happen in your brain A simple breathing technique to calm your nervous system Here's the thing: for decades, doctors thought women's hormones only affected reproduction. Turns out, estrogen and progesterone control your brain, bones, heart, metabolism, gut health, and basically everything.

Your Hormone Health Playbook Balanced hormones don't just happen by chance — they're built on science, strategy, and a little self-awareness. In this first episode of our hormone health series, we're laying out your playbook: the big picture of how your cycle works, what changes across the decades, what throws hormones off track, and the steps you can take today to support balance for years to come. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✨ Cycle Overview (the big picture) The four phases of your menstrual cycle: menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal. Why estrogen, progesterone, and LH/FSH shifts matter for your energy, mood, and performance. How the HPO axis (hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary connection) keeps everything in rhythm. ✨ Major Hormone Change Points From puberty to menopause, what's happening with hormones in your teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond. What to expect in perimenopause vs. menopause — and why timing matters. ✨ What Exacerbates Imbalances The real-life culprits that throw hormones off balance: stress, poor sleep, nutrient gaps, gut issues, toxins, and more. Why blood sugar and insulin are key players in the hormone story. ✨ Future-Proofing Hormone Health How your 30s and 40s set the stage for smoother perimenopause and menopause. Insights from research on bone health, metabolism, and even brain resilience. ✨ Your ALIFE Framework for Balanced Hormones Because balanced hormones = a better life. A – Adapt Stress → Lower the cortisol burden. L – Love Your Liver → Support detox with food, hydration, and lifestyle. I – Increase Awareness → Track your cycle and learn your patterns. F – Fuel for Balance → Nourish with protein, fats, and fiber-rich carbs. E – Embrace Sleep → Protect your circadian rhythm and hormone orchestra. Balanced hormones don't happen by accident — they happen by ALIFE. Adapt stress, Love your liver, Increase awareness, Fuel your body, and Embrace sleep. That's how we create a life that flows.
