More Than Macros Ep 29: The Menstrual Cycle, Female Hormones & Birth Control with Katrina Borg | Part 1


Listen Later

This week we have a very highly anticipated episode on all things period, menstrual cycle and birth control!

We are joined by coach Kat and coach Clare, who both have extensive experience and education in the realm of female hormones and the mensural cycle. 

In this episode we discuss 

  • The hormones involved in the menstrual cycle and their main functions
  • An overview of a normal menstrual cycle, including how the hormones work and why you experience certain symptoms
  • How training and nutrition can be affected throughout the different stages of the cycle 
  • Mid cycle spotting 
  • Different birth control pills and IUD’s and their effect on the cycle and hormones
  • Birth control pills and IUD’s and their impact on weight gain and training 
  • Birth control for managing PMS symptoms 


We will definitely be doing a follow up to this episode, including topics of symptom management, coming off of birth control, what to expect from symptoms as you age, and any other question YOU have for us! 


Please reach out to any of the coaches directly, or comment below any questions or topics you would like us to cover.
