About XX Strong
Our business, XX Strong, established in 2023, as a partnership between Heather Allmendinger (a Period and Fertility Awareness Coach) and Barb V (a World Champion Athlete, a multi-sport Athletic and Business Coach). Through our podcast collaborations, we uncovered a global need for improved education on the significance and influence of menstrual cycles for female (XX) athletes. Today, we offer comprehensive workshops and training materials for Athletes, Performers, Coaches, Athletic Trainers, Athletic Directors, and Parents, highlighting the impact, importance, and power of menstrual cycles on athletic performance from pre-puberty onward. Our biggest challenges include dispelling myths and stigmas while altering long-term coaching attitudes and misguided concepts around female athletes and their monthly issues with their menstrual cycles. Our hands-on, personalized programs delve into the science behind the menstrual cycle, dispel myths and stigmas, and provide practical applications for strategically integrating cycle tracking into training and competition. We believe that revolutionizing female performance involves seizing opportunities and overcoming challenges while delivering scientifically supported research and education. XX Strong’s transformational outcomes are achieved through the thorough integration of nutrition, mindset, physical training strategies, and tracking menstrual cycles.
