Today Sarah and Meredith are talking all about the menstrual cycle and why some women notice a shift to energy before ovulation. Some may feel this as a creative surge and improved gym performance. Others, anxious, wired energy and can’t figure why their symptoms resemble PMS when they are several weeks away from the start of their period. 

They discuss the differences between feeling energized and wired, the hormonal fluctuations that occur during the cycle, and how these can impact women's daily lives.

Awareness is always step one, and then it’s about  practical strategies for managing and capitalizing on energy levels through nutrition, training, and lifestyle adjustments. Empowered action backed by education allows for women to listen to their bodies and make informed choices without fear of hormonal shifts.
