71| The Exercise Mistake That Can Disrupt Ovulation (and What to Do Instead)
from Fertile Window Lab with Arianna | Menstrual Cycle Phases, Ovulation, Period Tracking, Hormone Imbalance · host Arianna Banuelos, FertilityCare Practitioner & Wholeness Coach
Women trying to conceive are often told the same advice: exercise more, eat better, lose weight. But very few are taught how exercise actually affects ovulation, hormones, and the timing of the fertile window. In this episode, I’m joined by Coryn Larrabee and Crysanne Dunbar from the Her Healthy Body Podcast to talk about how certain workouts, nutrition patterns, and metabolic stress can quietly interfere with hormone balance and regular ovulation. We discuss the connection between strength training, cortisol, protein intake, and why some popular fitness approaches may contribute to hormone imbalance, late ovulation, or irregular cycles when your goal is trying to conceive. If you've ever wondered: • “Is my workout routine affecting my hormones?” • “Could stress or intense training disrupt my fertile window?” This episode will help you better understand how to support your body and fertility.
