Female physiology with guideline anchors — not pink dumbbells or fear.
Women's health coverage prioritizes energy availability, progressive strength training without underloading myths, pregnancy and postpartum activity guidelines, menstrual-cycle periodization claims graded as premature when oversold, and life-stage exposure windows (pregnancy fluoride debates, PFAS lactation defaults, toxoplasma prevention). Iron overload presents later on average due to menstrual losses; menopause can unmask both metabolic and iron phenotypes.
