What 15  Years of Overtraining Taught Me About Hormones, Health & Healing

25/7/2025

For years, I didn’t realise the impact my love of exercise and nutrition habits were having on my body. 

It took me nearly two decades and 6 years of research to fully understand how my training and nutrition were affecting my physiology—and what I should be doing differently to thrive.  

In my late teens  I modeled my training after my dad—an incredible athlete—assuming that if it worked for him, it would work for me.  But I couldn’t understand why some days I felt on top of my game, and other days I felt ravenous, exhausted, and empty, while he remained consistently strong and energised.

It took me nearly two decades and to fully wise up to how my training and nutrition were affecting my physiology—and what I should be doing differently to thrive.  

I’m not saying I’m doing it all right now, ( behavioral change isn’t just dependent on having the knowledge) but I’m know where I’m going wrong rather than feeling confused.  

Over the past 8 years, I’ve spent countless hours researching female physiology, biochemistry, and hormones. I’ve studied the work of Dr. Nicola Rinaldi and completed courses with Dr. Stacy Sims and many more amazing professionals driving knowledge forward in this area.   Yes, I’m a bit of a knowledge geek—but I’ve learned a lot, and I want to share some key insights with you.

Over the next few months, I’ll be posting short blogs on katestannardfitness.com to help you better understand your unique physiology—and how to adapt your training and nutrition for optimal performance. 

Your body and hormones don’t have to be a mystery. 🙂

We can be doing everything “right” and still not see the results we want. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. The next image shows what you can expect in the next few blogs ( stay tuned)
