 Hi hi! How are ya? I’ve got a new solo podcast episode up today, chatting about how to adjust your workouts throughout the month! You might notice that certain types of exercises and workouts feel differently throughout your cycle. Sometimes HIIT workouts are perfect, and other times, you feel more like yoga or light strength training. Today, I’m diving into how you can make your cycle work for you and optimize your workout routine for results and overall wellbeing.  Here’s what I talk about in today’s episode: - How to adjust your workouts and nutrition to align with your menstrual cycle - Why we shouldn’t do the same types of workouts all month long - How our productivity and social interactions change throughout the month and so much more.   142: Optimizing your workouts throughout your menstrual cycle More resources from this episode: I love love love the meals from Sakara Life! Use this link and the code XOGINAH for 20% off their meal delivery and clean boutique items.

Talking about my eye story from red, inflamed eyes, finding a dry eye specialist, and autoimmune findings, + what I’m doing in the meantime.  Hi friends! I hope you’ve having a wonderful day! I have a new podcast episode up with the full eye story details. I put the call out on IG for topic requests, and so many of you asked to hear more about what’s been going on. I shared some in this post with the best products for dry eyes and MGD, but I’m breaking everything down in this podcast episode. Thank you so much for those of you who have checked in and have been so caring on this wild journey. *Friendly reminder that this is not medical advice; just sharing my experience.  Here’s what I talk about in this episode: - My eye saga, from red, inflamed eyes to figuring out what the heck was actually going on - Bloodwork and test results - Finding a dry eye specialist - What functional labs I’ve been doing - Why you aren’t your diagnosis, and so much more. Just like with many medical situations in my life, I’m fusing more Western style treatments (like MiBoFlo) with functional and holistic options (lab testing, protocols). It doesn’t have to be one or the other, and I’m grateful to have lots of options and for amazing care providers. <3 Notes from the episode: - HigherDOSE Labor Day sale starts TODAY!
