You eat well. You move your body. You are, by most external measures, one of the healthier people in your circle. And yet your energy is gone, your sleep is broken, your performance is sliding backwards, and somewhere along the way your period quietly stopped showing up. Maybe someone told you that was normal for active women. Maybe nobody said anything at all.
This week I'm joined by Dr. Katrina Allison, a naturopathic doctor in North Vancouver who specialises in hormonal health for active women and female athletes. Katrina is also a long-distance runner who lost her own period for three to four years while performing at a university level, and spent that entire time being seen by knowledgeable professionals who never quite told her how serious it was.
That experience shapes how she practises now, and it shows up in this conversation in a way I found genuinely moving.
We get into the biology of what happens when energy in doesn't match energy out, why losing your period is a late warning sign rather than an early one, and what relative energy deficiency in sport actually is. But the part of this conversation I keep coming back to is the gap Katrina names between the prescription and the doing. A clinician can tell you to increase your intake in about eleven seconds. Going home and actually doing it, against everything your mind has to say about it, is another matter entirely. Katrina understands that from the inside, and she talks about it with real precision.
We also talk about the rigidity that endurance sport rewards, why the personality traits that make someone excellent at running can make them deeply resistant to changing anything, and what shifted for Katrina when she became a mother and raced postpartum with no plan and no expectations.
If you're not an athlete, please don't skip this one. The hormonal picture Katrina describes is, in her words, agnostic of how active you are. Years of restriction do the same thing to a body whether or not that body is training for something.
