Join Dr. Daniela Steyn and Tenille Hoogland for this Episode of the Health and Wellness Podcast. Tenille Hoogland's mission is to transform how female athletes experience sports and reach lifelong health and athletic excellence. Her athletic journey began as an Olympic hopeful in synchronized swimming. In her late 20s, she became a professional triathlete. On the surface, her athletic career looks stellar. She represented Canada at International Triathlon Union (ITU) Pan-American Championships, long course events and at IRONMAN World Championships several times, winning numerous titles along the way. However, the method to achieve success had a tremendous cost. She trained relentlessly, unknowingly developed disordered eating and lost her period for 5 years. This led to several injuries and significant hormone challenges. Mentally, she lost joy in sport and retired from triathlon in 2013. Her struggle to find health and her athletic self spanned several years; first, she overcame 2 years of fertility challenges, learnt how to move again without pain and then to move consistently with joy. It came through deep curiosity, education, and trial and error.
This journey led her to create the Mindset, Nutrition, Training, and Recovery Integrated Training System (MNTR-ITS), which she uses alongside her coaching practice. This accessible, step-by-step, evidence-based system empowers female athletes to establish a foundation of health for excellence, performance, and resilience. It works through the physiological life stages of the female athlete, from pre- to post-menopause.
Professionally, Tenille was a Senior Planner at the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Federal Secretariat, managed numerous IRONMAN events, held a Management position at Triathlon Canada and was recognized by her national federation and Canadian Olympic Committee as a Future Sports Leader. Now, through her company, Tenille Hoogland Applied Athletics, Tenille coaches female athletes in perimenopause and beyond. She owns the Element Race Team, an amateur women’s cycling team whose mission is to get more women on the start lines at cycling events. Having given birth to two beautiful and healthy sons in her 40s, her purpose in sport now is to be fit for a big, long life full of play.
