In this episode of the Optimal Protein Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Victoria Felkar, a leading expert in women’s health, endocrinology, and performance. Victoria’s work challenges common myths and misconceptions surrounding women’s health — from hormone fluctuations to muscle growth and strength training. In this episode, we discuss: Why the belief that women and men are vastly different in muscle growth and strength isn’t as clear-cut as you might think Misconceptions about cycle syncing and whether tailoring training to the menstrual cycle is backed by solid science Why overly simplified messages about hormones and female health can do more harm than good The dangers of focusing solely on estradiol in peri- and post-menopause and why this narrow focus is bad science Why isolating health into distinct processes — like sleep, nutrition, or hormones — overlooks the interconnectedness between these factors Victoria’s insights will empower you to better understand the complexities of female physiology and take a science-backed approach to improving your health, performance, and body composition.
