The Follicular Phase – Menstrual Cycle Masterclass Part 2
Episode description
The follicular phase – the window of time between menstruation and ovulation – can be tricky. While all of the other phases of our menstrual cycle are usually quite consistent and reliable, it’s the follicular phase which can change every single month. Some women may even skip this phase completely!
Welcome to Part Two of your Menstrual Cycle Masterclass, where I’m breaking down the sneakiest of all the phases of the menstrual cycle, the follicular phase - what actually goes on inside our body, how to support your body, balance your hormones and support your reproductive system with nutrition, self care, exercise and sleep.
HERE’S WHAT WE COVER:
- Why the follicular phase can be so confusing
- What goes on in the non-fertile window between our period and ovulation
- How the female sex hormones change from menstruation to ovulation, plus two hormones you might never have heard about before
- Symptoms to expect during this phase and how to work with your cycle, not against it
- How to change your workouts now your period is over
- How to support your hormones and prepare your body for ovulation with nutrition
