Quotes from Dr. Sims:
“The best advice we have about menstrual cycle training is you need to track your own cycle and find your own pattern.”
“It is disempowering women when we have these voices coming out saying there is no effect of the menstrual cycle based on a very small criteria of systematic reviews.”
