Never ones to shy away from a topic, today’s subject is one we both feel deserves a greater level of discussion and awareness in terms of its impact on our everyday.  As ludicrous as it is to describe this as one of life’s “taboos”, that is still the reality for many and yet the menstrual cycle impacts all aspects of health including metabolism, gut health, training performance, sleep, relationships….the list is endless.  Yes, it’s the Period Pod and whether you experience a “regular” cycle yourself or spend any meaningful time with someone who does, it’s so worth a listen.  

We discuss the wide variety of symptoms and experiences throughout the phases of our cycle, including the complex ebb and flow of our hormones, and its impact on energy levels, mood, eating behaviours and mental well-being.  We give tips and advice on cycle syncing to benefit our training and nutrition and discuss the pros and cons of tracking our cycle. As you will hear, it is so much more complex than just a five day bleed (in fact, that’s the least interesting bit)!
