748. The Power of Women’s Cycles: Embracing Feminine Wisdom in a Male-Dominated World


Listen Later

In this episode, Dr. Kayla Osterhoff, neuropsychophysiologist and expert in women’s health, joins Lindsey to uncover the magic of the female body. From the gifts of oxytocin to breaking down the phases of the menstrual cycle, learn to honor your natural rhythm in a world designed for men.


Ahead, Kayla unpacks the unique biological strengths of women, debunks myths about productivity, and unveils how men + women inherently thrive in different ways. Plus, discover what the corporate world would be like if it embraced women’s biology + leadership styles.


Learn how to sync with your cycle to boost health, balance hormones, and vibe higher. Whether you're thinking about creating (a dream, a project, or literal life), or curious about the science behind the patriarchy’s design, this chat will evolve your understanding of your incredible body!


We also talk about:

  • The massive impact of oxytocin vs. dopamine on women + men
  • Why women succeed differently from men in corporate culture
  • Dr. Kayla’s take on closing gender gaps in science + health
  • Cycle syncing myths + hormone friendly workouts 
  • Hormonal self-care staples: balancing sugar, stress, and sex hormones
  • Why your luteal phase is the best time for neuroplasticity + neurogenesis 
  • The girl-boss burnout era and embracing slower, intuitive creation
  • Future visions for education + workplace equity around women’s rhythms
  • Why science is the ultimate flex in understanding yourself
