#23: Cycle Syncing Made Simple: How to Eat, Train & Work With Your Hormones
Ever feel like your body is working against you? Same. For years I pushed through HIIT workouts on my period, lived on cold smoothies, and ignored every signal my hormones were giving me. When I quit birth control after almost a decade, my body crashed — hello hormonal acne, SIBO, low energy, anxiety, and mood swings.
That’s when I discovered cycle syncing: the practice of eating, exercising, and planning your life in alignment with the 4 phases of your menstrual cycle (menstrual, follicular, ovulation, luteal). It completely shifted how I manage my energy, mood, and digestion — and I wish I started in my early twenties.
In this episode, I break down:
The 4 phases of your cycle explained simply
How I eat, move, and work differently in each phase
What cycle syncing actually did for my PMS, acne, and gut health
Why awareness (not perfection) is the real secret
Whether you’re brand new to cycle syncing or curious if it can fit into a busy lifestyle, this conversation will give you the framework to start living in sync with your hormones instead of fighting them.
