New Episode release today with Physical Therapist Jillian Stecklein!
In this episode of the Hormone Genius Podcast, we sit down with Jillian Stecklein, Director of Physical Therapy at My Catholic Doctor, to explore the often-overlooked connection between female physiology, athletic performance, and long-term health.
Jillian shares how many athletes—especially women—have been shaped by outdated cultural messaging around food and body image. Patterns of disordered eating, under-fueling, and overtraining are not uncommon, and they create a dangerous cycle where the body becomes increasingly vulnerable to injury and burnout. These patterns are often reinforced by an identity rooted in performance, where self-worth becomes tied to output rather than overall well-being.
Jillian Stecklein is a pelvic floor physical therapist and the Director of Physical Therapy at My Catholic Doctor. She specializes in helping women restore strength, stability, and function through a holistic, root-cause approach to movement and healing.
