While cycle-syncing is not the "newest" trend out there, it's still relatively new and not well understood. While the concept of cycle-syncing is something beautiful and empowering on the surface, the typical suggestions do not take into consideration preferred energy systems of the body at that point in your cycle in addition to all the other factors that can influence performance. Your menstrual cycle is not the only thing affecting your life!
In this episode we dive into:
- the difference between a real period and a withdrawal bleed
- what are the hormonal fluctuations throughout your cycle
- what to typical cycle syncing recommendations say
- why is that understandable but how is it wrong
- how can you cycle-sync in a muscle centric way
- why may you not respond well to cycle syncing
- why do some people respond well to it
- what other factors do you need to consider aside from your cycle
- how you can live by the principles of cycle-syncing without cycle-syncing
