Female physiology is more than just "women's issues". How women respond to training and nutrition differs from men in some significant ways, including muscle development, weight management, bone strength, energy levels and temperature regulation (especially moving into menopause!). This 2-hour seminar focusses specifically on female physiology and strength training. We will cover material relevant to full adult lifespan from pre-menopause through to peri and post-menopausal women. A perfect accompaniment to the Introduction to Strength course.

 Session topics include:

• How female physiology impacts muscle, fat mass and bone density across the menstrual cycle and into menopause

• Managing energy levels by working with your physiology and not against it

• Causes of "brain fog" and how to work with the nervous system for improved brain function

• Common training, nutrition and recovery advice that is actually counter productive for women's physiology

• Temperature regulation for high intensity training and managing into peri-menopause and beyond

• Nutrition and life hacks to help improve training and health outcomes
