Running with PMOS, Endometriosis, and Other GYN Diagnoses

Calling all women runners: This is a must-listen episode. Dr. Lauren Puretz, a gynecologic surgeon and elite ultrarunner, joins hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Rachel Domb for a candid, commonsense conversation about a variety of important TMI topics. The trio covers:

-how the good doctor juggles high-mileage training, a demanding job, + two kids

-why the switch from “PCOS” To “PMOS” makes so much sense

-how prolapse or stress incontinence isn’t only a concern for moms

-okay versus not-okay pain to manage during a run

-the importance of self-advocacy in getting a diagnosis

-straight-talk on cycle-synching

-easy, safe preemptive steps to take if your period is due on race day

Rachel shares details about her SoCal run club prior to the guest joining around 5:45.
