[S1 E2] All About Cycle Syncing: Pt.1 - How Female Physiology Depends On Cyclical Flow
Let’s demystify the menstrual cycle!
Throughout a typical 28 to 30-day cycle, our energy and mood shifts. Understanding the hormones that work in our body and the ways we can expect them to fluctuate over the course of our cycle is key to setting realistic movement and nutrition expectations every month. And this series is going to help you do just that.
In today’s episode, I am going to walk you through a healthy menstrual cycle - what it looks like and what you can expect. I’m also going to share with you some steps you can take to stay nourished and feel your best no matter what your relationship is with your monthly cycle. My hope is that after listening to this episode you start looking at your period more like a report card of how your previous month went and that it helps you get a little bit more control over how it affects you so that you can make informed choices about your body.
