Have you ever wondered if you might benefit from structuring your training based on your hormonal/menstrual cycle?

In this episode, we answer that questions with Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple. We discuss what she found in her Ph.D research (and the broader literature) when it comes to hormonal cycle changes, performance and strength metrics, and injury rates.

We also touch on how the hormonal cycle interacts with hypermobility, and what, if anything should change in response to that.

Listen in to find out if you can (or should) adapt your training to reflect what the science says about cycle-based changes!

Disclaimer: everyone's experience of the changes that occur during a hormonal/menstrual cycle is different, but regardless of what the literature says on strength and performance, how you feel is likely going to be quite individualized.
