In this episode, I explain how women can get stronger, recover faster, and feel more confident by training with their hormones and not fighting them.

For years, women were told to train like smaller men. But your energy, recovery, and performance naturally shift across your cycle and understanding that rhythm changes everything.

I’ll walk you through each phase of the menstrual cycle (and what to do if yours is irregular or you’re in perimenopause), showing how to adjust workouts, recovery, and nutrition for better results and fewer plateaus.

Inside, you’ll learn:
 - The four phases of your cycle and how hormones impact strength and motivation
 - When to lift heavy and when to prioritize recovery
 - How to adjust carbs and protein across your cycle to reduce cravings
 - Why sleep and stress management matter even more in the luteal phase

Your cycle isn’t a setback, it’s your superpower.
 Train in alignment with your body, not in resistance to it.
