35: The One Thing Your Trainer Never Told You About Your Period

Send us Fan MailWhat if the reason you feel exhausted, inconsistent, and like nothing is working isn't a lack of discipline, but that no one ever taught you how your body actually works? Adrienne Irizarry, host of The Reproductive Rebel podcast, joins this episode for a conversation that will fundamentally change the way you think about your body, your training, and your cycle. Whether you're in your prime cycling years or deep in the fog of perimenopause, this episode gives you the tools to stop working against yourself and start working with your biology. Adrienne breaks down the four phases of the menstrual cycle and explains what's happening hormonally, physically, and mentally in each one - and exposes how most women have been operating off a blueprint designed for a male body. You'll learn exactly when to push hard in the gym, when to pull back, and why ignoring those signals may be the only thing standing between you and the results you've been chasing.Connect with Adrienne Irizarry:moonessence.lifeinstagram.com/moonessencemeIn This Episode:(01:20) Meet Adrienne Irizarry(06:15) The massive gap in reproductive education(11:00) Breaking down the 4 phases of your menstrual cycle(19:45) Training your life around your cycle(23:10) Why injuries happen at certain points in your cycle(28:20) When to push vs. pull back in your workoutsConnect with Daffney:The Game-Changer Consult → This 60 min deep dive offers you clarity and insight into what’s possible for your next 60 days.
