I help active women and female athletes elevate their performance and amplify their wellbeing
Hormonal health is often overlooked or ignored in female athletes.
Let me guess — you live an active lifestyle and eat a healthy diet, but every month you’re laid up by menstrual cramps, PMS, or fatigue. You could be doing everything else right, but these hormonal symptoms are getting in the way of you living your life to the fullest. Know that you don’t have to suffer through this alone. I walk patients through a step-by-step process to take them from merely surviving their life, to totally thriving in it.
I get it because I’ve been there.
I’m Dr. Katrina Allison, a naturopathic physician and long-distance runner. I’ve always been an athlete, and I love being on the move. But I’ve also had tough times in sport. Times when I’ve struggled with my mental, physical and hormonal health. I know what it feels like when it seems like you’re fighting against your body — and nothing is helping.
Most athletes think of their hormones as an annoying nuisance, something that makes them feel tired or slow — or worse, surprises them with a period on race day. But what if learning to understand, nurture, and leverage your hormones is the key to unlocking your best performance and best self?
Consistent training & faster recovery
Hormone concerns such as severe PMS, menstrual cramps, and irregular periods can really disrupt your training schedule. Regaining hormonal health allows you to get the most out of your body while recovering well, adapting to training, and staying healthy all the while.
Resilience to burnout & injury
Low energy, repeat injuries, and overwhelming pressure to perform can really take the joy out of training and life. With the right care and support, you can get to a place where it feels effortless and fun again.
Longevity and health beyond sport
Women face many hormonal transitions, such as pregnancy, post-partum, perimenopause, and menopause. Navigating these changes while enjoying your athletic pursuits is possible when you have expert guidance. Know that there is no age limit to your active life.
