The IMAGE Wellness Project

Why are we still whispering about periods in sports?
In this episode, recorded live at WellFest, Dominique sits down with female fight nutritionist Lindsey Rhatigan. 
It’s 2026 and in the world of sports we are still normalising missed cycles. Still asking women to wear white shorts designed for men. Still asking female athletes to perform at their peak while ignoring the most fundamental part of their biology.
Lindsey works with athletes in one of the most physically demanding sports out there. She helps them make weight safely, fuel properly, and ultimately perform at their best. But what she’s really doing is challenging a system that was never designed with women in mind.
In this conversation, Lindsey and Dominique cover the link between missing periods and mental health, the dropout rate of young female athletes, and the fact that so many girls are never taught how their cycle actually works, let alone how to train with it.
If you have daughters, if you train, if you’ve ever questioned your relationship with food, exercise or your body, this is an important episode to hear.

Meet Iain Liam Ward AKA The King of Chemo 
Diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 2020 at age 31, Iain turned a tragic situation into a viral mission to break world records by completing marathons and raising money for cancer research.

He spoke with host Melanie Morris as part of the IMAGE Wellness Project about:

His Goal: To break the Guinness world record for the most money raised for charity by completing marathons.

His Twist: You don't have to donate a penny. He uses corporate sponsors to turn your follow into cash for cancer research.

His Drive: So far… over 18 marathons and 32 half-marathons completed, many in funny costumes, many carrying a (heavily) weighted vest. All while battling Stage 3 glioblastoma to support cancer research.

His Future plans Bigger, bolder, unstoppable, global. See/hear him rewrite the rules of fundraising.
