Are we making it harder for our female athletes than it needs to be. Firstly a look at the contraceptive choices in female soccer players and how the data shows we do not do a good enough job educating on the impact of contraceptive options and performance. Then a deeper dive into Testosterone replacement in the menopause. It will improve health, mood, sarcopaenia but is not commonly discussed alongside HRT. Are there testosterone boosting plant/herbal options instead of the gels?
