Hey there! 👋 I'm Jayd Harrison (Jaydigains), personal trainer and host of the Coaching Corner podcast. In this episode of the Coaching Corner podcast, I'm diving into a question I get a lot from female clients: Should I change my workouts based on my menstrual cycle? The short answer? It depends on you.

I walk you through the different phases of the menstrual cycle—menstrual, follicular, ovulation, and luteal—and break down how hormonal changes can affect your energy, strength, and recovery. I also share the potential benefits of training during each phase, along with practical tips for adjusting your workout intensity if needed.

This episode is all about tuning into your body, making informed decisions, and ditching the myths around performance dips during your period. My goal is to help you feel empowered in your fitness journey and confident adapting your training to your unique cycle.

Let’s stop forcing a one-size-fits-all approach to fitness and start working with our bodies instead of against them.

Hey there! 👋 I'm Jayd Harrison (Jaydigains), personal trainer and host of the Coaching Corner podcast.

Bloating happens to everyone—yes, even the fittest people you know! In this episode, I’m diving into the common causes of bloating, why it’s completely normal, and how you can manage it in a healthy way.

I also tackle the unrealistic beauty standards that make so many people obsess over having a flat belly, even though that’s not a true indicator of health or fitness. Instead of chasing an unrealistic ideal, I’ll help you shift your focus to real health markers like resting heart rate, blood pressure, and strength.

🔹 The most common causes of bloating (and how to reduce them)

🔹 Why bloating doesn’t mean you’re unhealthy or doing something wrong

🔹 How social media and beauty standards distort our perception of what’s “normal”

🔹 Simple, effective strategies to relieve bloating, including:

• ✅ Staying hydrated
• ✅ Moving your body
• ✅ Managing fiber intake
• ✅ Understanding food sensitivities & gut health

🔹 Why a fit body doesn’t have to mean a flat belly—and why that’s okay!
