In this episode I am working with a co-host, Judy Murray, and a special guest, Georgie Bruinvels

Georgie is the research scientist responsible for the development and launch of an amazing new app which helps females track and support themselves through their menstrual cycle. There is also a brand new app which allows the coach to work with the athlete throughout her cycle.

Go to https://www.fitrwoman.com to download the app

I have time coded this show so you can find the answers to the questions from Kris and Judy. As you will see from the timeline, we get through a load of different topics.

This really could be a game changer for all females and their coaches. Please share with as many people as you can so this work can become the norm as soon as possible.
