You’ve probably seen influencers raving about “cycle syncing” — the idea that you should plan your workouts around the phases of your menstrual cycle to balance your hormones, reduce PMS, and boost performance. But is any of it actually backed by science?

In this episode, I'm breaking down:

- what cycle syncing really is

- what the research does & doesn't say

- how your hormones actually influence your strength, stamina, and recovery

- what to know if you're on hormonal birth control (spoiler alert: cycle syncing isn't for you)
