The menstrual cycle is the fifth vital sign and gives us true insight and awareness into what’s going on within our bodies. It only makes sense that we should align our fitness and health goals with our cycles and mirror the life, death, and rebirth that our bodies experience each month. 

My guest this week is Kayla Brooks, founder of Flex Your Feminine. Her programs provide women with a transformational experience rooted in their feminine physiology. Progress is redefined in Kayla’s fitness practice, which gives women a 28-day infradian rhythm to view their progress in line with their menstrual cycles. 

This episode is so good and so deep into the lies we’ve been told surrounding fitness and health and how we can begin to shift our perspective and our psyche to step into our feminine power, even in our fitness routines. Kayla shares so much about her process of health and fitness in line with the cycle, and I know you’re going to love it. Tune in today!
