Description

What does inability to lose weight, struggling to get pregnant, PMS/period pain, and lack of motivation around exercise all have in common?
You're not working out in a way that supports your physiology as a woman!
The way we've been brought up to lose weight, gain weight, maintain weight, and work out all supports the MALE body and has been applied to us as "small men."
But we're not small men. Our hormones and metabolism changes throughout the phases of our menstrual cycle, and if you're not adapting your movement to support each phase, it leads to the problems mentioned above.
So I brought on Laura Torbett, the Creator of the Lunae Collective, a roadmap of phasic workouts for menstruators. Laura is a movement enthusiast whose mission supports women from menarche to menopause with cycle-friendly movement practices. 
We discuss:

The benefits of cycle syncing your exercise
The science behind how syncing your movement with your cycle helps reduce PMS and period pain
Can it help you lose weight?
Why most of what we've been taught about exercise (and working out fasted!) is SO wrong for the female body
How to workout for each phase of your cycle and how to fuel yourself
Why workouts over 30min can lead to weight GAIN for women
How to prep and take care of your body for longer workouts
More about Lunae Collective to take the guess work out of working out with your cycle!
