Women are not men, yet the vast majority of sports information is geared to men. Dr. Andrea is so passionate about giving active women and female athletes the care they deserve to perform everyday as well as in sport. She actively researches, reviews scientific journals and attends conferences on women’s health, peri-menopause and women in sport to dive deep into the unique biochemical, hormonal and emotional needs of these active people. Having taught Biochemistry and Sports Nutrition to holistic nutritionists, Dr. Andrea is always critically combining the latest research to implement safe, up-to-date and effective treatments.
