Athlete Kelly Holmes On Losing Her Strength

02/10/2026 · Dr. Naomi Potter

Descrição

My podcast, ‘Is It Hot In Here?’ is now available to listen to ☺️

My guest today is the incredible Olympic gold medallist and world-class runner Dame Kelly Holmes

In our candid, and occasionally heartbreaking, conversation, Kelly talks about her struggle to adjust emotionally and physically when her body—once the high-performance tool of her trade – ceased to function the way she wanted it to. She also shares how she needed to be carried from Olympic stadiums to doctors' surgeries because her periods were so painful, her unfamiliarity with perimenopause, and how a lifetime in sport made her reject the idea of HRT.

I hope you all love this conversation as much as I did and find the explanations and advice I offer useful.

Let me know in the comments below.

It's a very weird sensation, I used to ride hardcore bmx, I hurt myself badly, when it breaks down and you know it, a very difficult thing to deal with. Kelly holmes is my 2nd favourite Olympian.
