65 - Why Cycle-Syncing Isn't What You Think it is. The Truth About Your Hormones and Lifestyle

Hey Mama.

You’ve probably seen the charts, the apps, the advice—eat this, move like that, plan your life around your menstrual cycle. It all sounds empowering… but is it really helping?

In this episode, I’m opening up about cycle syncing—what it promises, and what it overlooks. If you’ve ever felt like you're doing it “wrong,” or you’ve skipped a workout because you weren’t in the “right phase,” this one’s for you.

We’re talking hormones, health myths, and the surprising gaps in research that might be shaping the advice you’re following. But don’t worry—it’s not all science and charts. I’m keeping it real, relatable, and doable.

You don’t need another set of rules. You need clarity. Let’s find it together!
