Your Menstrual Cycle: Being More Prepared for it With Your Nutrition & Training! [Ep. 28]

How does your menstrual cycle affect your eating habits, your hunger, and your cravings? How does it affect your ability to workout hard and get the most from your training sessions? And how does it affect your mood and enthusiasm? The truth is that your menstrual cycle can impact just about everything, so it's foolish to ignore it and not plan for it effectively.

On this episode, we're going to chat all about the menstrual cycle. You'll learn that there are reasonable explanations and solutions for something that can feel so completely unreasonable at times.

We'll talk about:

• the main phases of our cycle and the primary hormones that are in play,
• the specific effect those hormones have on our hunger, cravings, energy, and mood,
• how to be more prepared with your nutrition,
• and how to organize your month of workouts around your cycle.

We'll also briefly talk about not having a regular menstrual cycle and what that might be indicating for you.
