The Cycle Codes (The PMDD Podcast)
🎙️ The Cycle Codes
formerly The PMDD Podcast
Tired of feeling like a different person every week? You’re not broken — you’re cyclical. Welcome to The Cycle Codes, the podcast that decodes the truth about your menstrual cycle so you can work with your body, not against it.
Hosted by Adriana Tantau — menstrual cycle mentor, mama, and ex-fitness-pro turned womb wisdom guide — this is your real-talk space for learning how your cycle actually works, how to live in sync with your hormones, and how to reclaim power, peace, and purpose through every phase.
Expect honest conversations, science-backed insights, and juicy personal stories on:
- menstrual cycle awareness
- PMDD and period mental health
- hormone harmony and burnout recovery
- ovulation, perimenopause, fertility, and postpartum
- motherhood, sex, relationships, and real-life cycle syncing
Whether you’re navigating mood swings, burnout, or just craving a deeper connection to your body — you’re in the right place.
🩸 New episodes drop weekly. No shame. No fluff. Just the codes your cycle's been trying to give you all along.
