Your menstrual cycle is not a limitation!

it’s data!

In this episode, we break down why the trend of constantly changing or “cycling” your workouts often doesn’t work if your goal is to build muscle, train consistently, or perform at a competition. Instead, I explain why fueling your body appropriately during each phase of your menstrual cycle is the real game-changer for both health and performance.

We’ll walk through the four phases of the menstrual cycle, how hormonal shifts influence metabolism and recovery, and which macronutrients your body prioritizes during each phase. Whether you’re an athlete preparing for an event, lifting to build muscle, or simply trying to optimize your energy and reduce PMS symptoms, this episode will help you understand how to eat enough, fuel smarter, and support your body. No matter where you are in your cycle.

If you’ve ever felt confused about training, nutrition, and your hormones, this episode is for you.

*I had mentioned the avg. length of a menstrual cycle and the correct length is 21-45 days*
