332. Your Cycle is Your Superpower & Building Strong Ass Women with Claire Falconer

My dear friend Claire Falconer is a literal ray of sunshine and one of the most knowledgeable humans I've come across when it comes to helping women (and couples) get the most out of their hormones and menstrual cycles. Once we deeply understand the phases and signals of a woman's cycle, we can then leverage it not just for conception and pregnancy, but for every aspect of women's daily lives, health and relationships.  It starts with busting the modern myths and stigmas around a woman's cycle, and instead working with it to vastly improve physical health, emotional health, fitness & weight loss, sleep quality, energy level, and of course, everything to do with preconception, pregnancy and postpartum health. Claire Falconer is a personal trainer, yoga teacher and health coach who has worked with hundreds of clients all over the world, specializing in women's health, especially hormonal health, preconception, pregnancy and post natal women. In this episode, we're talking about:  How men's and women's hormonal cycles are different How a woman's cycle is an indicator of good or poor health The importance of hormone balance How to work with your hormones The phases of a woman's cycle and how to embrace its energetic highs and lows How menstrual cycles affect energy levels, weight loss and sleep quality How to increase chance of conception and pregnancy Tips for a healthier pregnancy  How to plan workouts and diet around your cycle Effects of birth control Facts about premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and how to better control symptoms I would love to know your takeaways from this one - a lot of information here about something so common, yet so often misunderstood.
