Today, on the podcast, we have the incredible Emma Gilligan, a personal trainer and cycle-based body image content creator to discuss the importance of understanding the menstrual cycle and its impact on women's health, fitness, and body image. Emma, well-known for her informative and humorous content on social media, shares insights into how women can track and adapt their workouts and nutrition according to the different phases of their cycle. The conversation touches on Emma's personal experiences with hormonal contraceptives, the impact of breast implants on her health, and her journey to prioritizing cycle-based wellness while she continues to heal her own cycle imbalances. Emma emphasizes the importance of planning ahead and tailoring one's lifestyle to support the body's natural rhythms. Tune into this one for an episode bringing you the realness of what it means to be in a female body (lower tummy bump included!) from two cycle-obsessed women.
