Welcome back to The Bikini Academy Podcast! 

In this week’s episode your hosts Nicole and Alana are bringing you the second part of our series on the Menstrual Cycle and the female athlete. As female athletes and coaches ourselves, we understand how important this topic is as a competitive bodybuilder, and want to ensure that you are informed and educated when it comes to the physiological changes that you occur as a female. 

In part II, we discuss the importance of understanding how hormonal contraception can impact you in weight restrictive sports, considerations and implications of use in relation to contest prep, plus much much more. If you haven’t already, make sure to listen to part I where we discuss the menstrual cycle phases and other key takeaways. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1hMmw6HrgkjzQYpCEVr2QN?si=9f111606cba64737
