Ep.44 The Truth About Menstrual Cycle-Syncing: Working Out And Your Period With Dr Frankie Jackson-Spence
Working Hard, Hardly Working
06/05/23 • 55 min
Dr Frankie is an NHS Doctor, media and content creator who offers factual and relatable health advice in preventative medicine.
A qualified doctor working on the frontline, Dr Frankie graduated with a degree in Medicine and Surgery in 2018. During this time, Dr Frankie set out to better understand the risk factors for cancer, becoming heavily involved in clinical trials at Barts Cancer Institute for Renal and Bladder cancer.
Alongside all of this whilst juggling university, Dr Frankie started an educational social media page to provide expertise on a range of health and wellbeing topics. In her well-known #MedicalMonday, Frankie posted a weekly poll on her Instagram to allow people to ask health-related questions, each time focusing on a different topic. Frankie’s profile in this space began to grow, and as a result Frankie now also makes regular appearances to disseminate her knowledge, becoming an enthusiastic public speaker for general preventative health.
Although there are many things I’d love to discuss with Dr Frankie, today we share a conversation about training, nutrition and the female menstrual cycle,. The episode covers the entire cycle story, exploring what a ‘normal cycle’ looks like, when ovulation occurs, and how to identify important changes that sometimes signal significant health problems. Dr Frankie also discusses how a women's strength may be affected by constantly changing hormone levels, and how we can adjust our training and nutrition to reach our full potential at any point in our cycle.
This episode is important for both men and women, so if you're a female (or know one), I strongly recommend you listen...
When you should be concerned about your periods?!
3 essential things women should do to live a healthier life
Can training on your period help with menstrual cramps?
Why you should track your period if you work out
How do we know when we can push ourselves harder when we work out on our periods?

Ep. 75 Alice Liveing On The Dark Side Of Social Media, Influencing & Diet Culture
Working Hard, Hardly Working
02/19/24 • 64 min
Trigger warning: eating disorders
I knew Alice Liveing's story was one full of twists and turns, but I did not expect to have such a frank conversation about the power we give 'social media stars' and the impact of toxic trends not just on viewers, but on the individuals perpetuating those trends.
This episode is about Alice's journey to balance, but it's also about the warped reality of social media, and why we shouldn't be too harsh on ourselves about our past actions, something we all need a reminder of every so often.
I hope you enjoy listening! I'd be so grateful if you could rate the podcast five stars.
