#106 Menstrual Cycle 101

Elena Kunicki
About this episode

In this episode I give some basic education on the Menstrual Cycle…one that so many women lack. The menstrual cycle is a great indicator of your overall health, and is a powerful tool that women can use to harness strengths and flow with the difficulties in different phases!

 

We cover what a normal, healthy menstrual cycle looks like, as well as the different phases of the menstrual cycle and how they impact hunger cues, cravings, body image, energy, performance, and more!
