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.”

We talk about…

  • Growing up disgusted by periods

  • Myths we’ve been led to believe about our bodies

  • Using menstrual cycles as a framework for creativity, energy, and collaboration

  • What happens hormonally throughout a menstrual cycle, and the four phases

  • While ovulation is so beneficial

  • Cervical fluid/mucus and why it’s so important to your health and what you can notice about it

  • Charting data around your health and menstrual cycle

  • Practices to help you interpret the patterns of your own cycle

  • The premenstrual/PMS phase and how to prep for success

  • How birth control affects your cycle

  • Other cyclical patterns within your body even if you don’t have true periods
