What You Need to Know About Your Period | 51% Podcast
I joined Jesse King on the 51% Podcast!
“On this week’s 51%, we speak with mountain athlete and fertility educator Angie Marie to learn how some women are applying the concepts behind cycle syncing to their everyday lives. Cycle syncing is the practice of adjusting one’s diet or exercise to the different stages of their menstrual cycle. While the theory has become more popular among female athletes, Angie says she uses cycle syncing to increase her creativity, get in touch with her emotions, and promote self-care. Marie lays out some tips and tricks on how to listen to your body in her new guide, The Cycle Syncing Handbook.”
