Stephanie could you explain more on training with PMDD. You said "Instead of fighting it, why not work with it." I am not sure what you meant by that. Should I go workout even though I don't want to, or should take it easy for two days, which is what I already do. Thank you!!! 😊

I have an IUD with no bleeding so I have zero idea where I am in my cycle. I do find there are weeks where I can adhere to a calorie deficit much easier and others where it's just impossible. Same for strength training, but it feels so haphazard

This is EXACTLY what I have been looking to find. I wish if more female trainers would build their lifting schedules with this in mind !!

Im not a woman but I get a menstrual cycle and this is really helpful! I wish folks would stop equating periods to just women but this is a really helpful resource anyway

Not me rewatching these videos while I’m in a cut (but also working to balance hormones)

I've been looking for a video like this. Thank you so much for making this video 🙂 I'll tailor my workouts as you suggested.

Steph can you bring this back? I feel like there's not enough content out there on this topic and it's so frustrating that many PTs advertise "no cookie cutter programs" but don't consider training and dieting around the cycle. 😞

The muscle fatigue I'm feeling right now is worse than period pain for sure so I will watch anyway

Great video! Looking to plan my bodybuilding training & diet around this. You said you don’t get hungry while on your period but like a week before. For me I get muncy before and proper starving the first 2 days of my period. Wondering how to plan my diet around that? Maybe those are the refeed days per month? Any advice or comments on this appreciated 😊

i feel the complete opposite from the studies, on my period i’m exhausted and feel so so weak and so hungry

I always felt stronger during the week of my period and all my friends said I was crazy 😅 glad to know there’s science to back it up

My girlfriend and I have committed to permanently changing our lifestyle to a sustainably healthy one. I know a fair bit about my own body but not about how the female body works. She's tried a few times and has grown frustrated . Pretty understandable. So it's my mission to find out how to give her an edge and keep her motivated and your channel is giving me the tools I need to educate my clueless self. Great series. I really had no clue… At All….. Thank you so much 🙏 keep up the great work.

So if we are on a calorie deficit we can add 300 kcal when we have luteal phase ? Or it means that we can’t do this because we are on a deficit?

This is awesome info, but I want to know if calorie restriction causes our cycles to get messed up. Or is it our macros? I have always heard that we have to keep calories up to a certain number to keep our cycle going normally, but I'm speculating currently that maybe it has to do more with our fat and other macro levels. Can you do a video on this please? I am on day 5 of the GAPS diet and I know my calories are pretty low, but I'm keeping my fat intake up. Can you shed some light on this topic?
