Ep. 221 Why You Need to be Cycle Syncing as a Woman
Manage episode 479564315 series 2880523
Women are not small men and it's time to start working with instead of against your body!
Both Mindy Pelz and Alyssa Vitti emphasize that women aren’t small men — we operate on a ~28-day infradian rhythm (vs the male 24-hour circadian rhythm), which affects:
- Metabolism
- Energy
- Mood
- Stress response
- Nutrient needs
- Strength & recovery capacity
Syncing your habits with your hormonal shifts can help you:
✔ Burn fat more efficiently
✔ Gain muscle with less burnout
✔ Prevent hormone imbalances
✔ Feel more energized, focused, and in flow
✔ Reduce symptoms like PMS, fatigue, anxiety, and cravings
In this episode, we're going to look at the relationship estrogen and progesterone have on stress, highlight each phase of the menstrual cycle with training and nutrition recommendations during each phase, discuss overall cycle syncing benefits, and more!
