Nutrition around the menstrual cycle

Mark Carroll
About this episode


This episode is a must for all women, or coaches of women. Have you ever wondered:


Should you make dietary changes around the menstrual cycle?


Do women need additional calories during this time?


Today, I am joined by Sheridan Skye, a Nutritionist and Registered Nurse.


Sheridan and I discuss women's health, focusing on the menstrual cycle's impact on nutrition and performance.


We cover the following:


  • Different phases of the menstrual cycle
  • How hormones change women's energy levels, appetite and mood
  • The science behind the changes during menstruation
  • Insights for coaches and women to optimise nutrition based on menstrual cycle dynamics
