Running, Menopause, and Hope with Dr. Juliet McGrattan

What happens when running suddenly feels different and your body no longer responds the way it used to?

In this episode of In Fearless Conversation, I sit down with physician, runner, and author Dr. Juliet McGrattan to talk openly about menopause, the evolving relationship women have with running through midlife and beyond, and her new book, The Runner's Guide to Menopause: Your Essential Toolkit for Strong, Happy, and Healthy Training.

Juliet shares practical insight, expertise, and compassionate encouragement for runners navigating fatigue, shifting performance, hot flashes, confidence struggles, and more. Most importantly, this conversation is a reminder that menopause does not, and should not, mean the end of your running story.

No matter where you are on your menopause journey, this episode offers reassurance, education, and hope.
