The woman treating Olympic athletes says the sport has been coaching women wrong for decades, and she's built the clinic, the science, and the summit to prove it.

Dr. Lyndsay Centrowitz is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, pelvic health specialist, and USATF medical provider on a mission to rebuild how running treats the female body. She owns StrongHER, a women's-only PT practice in Park City, Utah, and trains clinicians nationwide through The Pace Academy.

But her work goes far beyond the treatment table.

The 2025 Canadian Postpartum Guidelines just rewrote the rulebook for female runners returning after childbirth, ditching the old "wait six weeks" standard in favor of movement that starts immediately and builds toward 120 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity per week.

RED-S is still silently destroying careers at the high school level, and many coaches have received zero training on it. This August, Lyndsay is hosting the Female Runner Summit in Park City specifically to intercept that problem before it reaches campus.

She is also a new mother and someone with a front-row seat to what happens when elite athletes face the hardest transitions of their careers.

We are sitting down with one of the most important voices in women's running medicine for a conversation that is long overdue.
