Ep 77: Hormones, Cycle Syncing Ⓡ, and Wh...

with Melissa Wood-Tepperberg
About this episode

In this insightful episode, Melissa sits down with Alisa Vitti, who shares her transformative journey following a hormonal collapse at a young age that shaped her future. Alisa emphasizes the complexity and necessity of understanding women's cycles and hormones for overall well-being. Her trademark concept, Cycle Syncing, has become a lifestyle for many women, guiding their daily health routines through the four phases: menstruation, follicular, ovulation, and luteal. They discuss the importance of protecting our circadian rhythm to maintain our biological clocks, suggesting simple practices like getting morning sunlight and avoiding phone screens before bed. Alisa explains how aligning our diet, exercise, and work schedules with our cycle phases helps us feel our best. She advocates for going within and letting our bodies dictate our natural state of being, avoiding plastics, and using fragrance-free products. This episode highlights the crucial importance of women being in tune with their cycles for optimal health.
