🎙️ Should You Be Syncing Your Training to Your Cycle?


You’ve seen the charts, the TikToks, the well-meaning infographics: “Lift heavy in the follicular phase, slow it down in the luteal phase, avoid carbs here, add calories there...”

Cycle syncing has become the new buzzword in women’s fitness, but does it actually help? Or is it just another way women are being told to fear their own hormones?

In this episode, I break down what the research really says about training across your menstrual cycle, including the truth about strength, cravings, fatigue, and the rise of influencer-led misinformation.

We’ll talk about hormonal birth control, perimenopause, and why expecting to feel weak in certain phases can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Spoiler: Your body isn’t broken. And your progress doesn’t need to pause just because it’s day 21.

Whether you’ve been curious about syncing or you’re tired of overcomplicating your routine, this episode will help you cut through the noise, trust your body, and train with confidence all month long.
