Episode 31!
Today I'm thrilled to be joined by one of the brightest minds in the evidence based exercise space. Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple is a brilliant researcher focusing on an often understudied area in the sports science literature... women.
Her research deals with a variety of subjects specific to female research participants and she's made it her job to reevaluate long held dogma in the research literature and replace it with actionable recommendations, specifically tailored for female lifters. This week we discuss some of her research specifically on the myth of birth control and its potential interference with hypertrophy.
Lauren has been featured on dozens of podcasts and her research has be shown in the NYT, NPR, Bloomberg and many more. I'm honored to have her on today and for my female listeners this episode is a must watch. Lauren is continuing to hold a light to women in exercise science and we're thrilled to see what else she accomplishes in her career.
