Welcome back to the WHOOP Advanced Labs series! This week on the WHOOP Podcast, Dr. Hazel Wallace, medical doctor, registered nutritionist, and member of the WHOOP Medical Advisory Board, joins WHOOP SVP of Research Algorithms and Data Emily Capodilupo for a powerful conversation about women’s health, nutrition, and the hormonal milestones that shape our lives.
From the reality that most medical research is based on male bodies to the overlooked nutritional needs of women across the menstrual cycle, perimenopause, and beyond, Dr. Wallace breaks down what women actually need to thrive. Emily and Dr. Wallace explore common symptoms of hormonal fluctuations, which supplements could be useful in your diet, postpartum nutrient depletion, and why many women are dismissed when addressing symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and hair loss. Dr. Wallace shares her experience with PCOS, and the difficulties she faced trying to get a diagnosis despite being a medical doctor herself. Whether you struggle with underlying symptoms of hormone imbalance or are just looking to improve your nutrition, Dr. Wallace shares her top tips for feeling you best and advocating for your health.
