India is also joined by GB pentathlon athlete Jess Varley who is part of this research and who has tailored her training around her menstrual cycle to reap extraordinary results.

Credits: Presented by India Rakusen. Producer: Jorja McAndrew. Series Producer: Ellie Sans. Executive Producer: Suzy Grant. Original music composed and performed by Rebekah Reid. Sound design by Charlie Brandon-King.
