## Resource

In this educational episode, Coach Rachel and I are breaking down the menstrual cycle in a way every woman should have been taught (but probably wasn’t)... We walk through each phase of a natural menstrual cycle and explain what’s happening hormonally, how it can impact your energy, mood, training performance, hunger, and motivation, and - most importantly - what to actually do about it. This episode is about understanding your body so you can plan better, train smarter, and stop feeling blindsided by your cycle every month. Whether you’re an athlete, a busy professional, or just trying to feel more in control of your health, this episode will give you practical clarity and reassurance around how your cycle actually works. 🎧 Tune in, track your cycle, and start working with your physiology - not against it.
