EP20. What you need to know about the menstrual cycle (med student explains cycle syncing) | *detailed af*
The menstrual cycle is one of the most important cycles women go through monthly and understanding it will improve your life in so many ways. For me, when I finally understood my menstrual cycle, I was able to finally understand my body and use its natural ebbs and flows to my advantage through cycle syncing. I understood that as a woman I am not on a 24 hour cycle but on a 28 day one. This empowered me to start trusting my body. For the first time in my life, I finally felt powerful. Ownership of my cycle made me feel like I was not broken. I was just a woman. So, I stopped accepting the narrative that women are weak and that periods are annoying and traded it for the understanding that my cycle was a measure of health that was also a beautiful tool that can be used to supercharge my workouts, lifestyle and productivity.
