Kayla Osterhoff: How to Eat, Exercise, and Work Around The 28-Day Menstrual Cycle

Do you adjust your diet throughout your menstrual cycle? In this episode of The Evolving Wellness podcast, I chat with Kayla Osterhoff about the four different phases of the 28-day menstrual cycle. She shares the hormonal characteristics of each cycle, how they affect us on a cognitive basis, and how we must adjust our lifestyle as we go through each cycle. Kayla shares how particularly important it is to change how we work out and how we eat throughout our menstrual cycle as things like fasting or high-intensity workouts may not be appropriate at every phase of the menstrual cycle.  What we discuss: 00:28: Intro03:25: About Kayla 06:52: What health issues was Kayla dealing with? 10:03: How did Kayla start this health journey? 16:31: Why does assuming women have a normal period hinder our health? 20:15: Why do women’s cycles align with different moon phases? 22:41: What’s happening in the four phases of the menstrual cycle? 38:58: What are the signs you’re burn-out? 40:25: How else can you figure out where you are in your cycle? 44:22: How can you track your energy levels? 45:30: When is the best time for biohacking? 50:07: When are high-intensity workouts more appropriate? 51:41: How does coffee play into your hormones? 54:06: Is consistency really the key to success? 55:50: Are our hormones different in the Summer from the Winter? 56:47: How does this rhythm change for women who are pregnant?  To learn more about Kayla: Instagram: @biocurious_kayla Website: https://www.herbiorhythm.com/ Thank you to our sponsors: This episode is sponsored by Optimal Carnivore - Use code CarnivoreY to save 10% - optimalcarnivore.com/sarah This episode is sponsored by Vivarays - Use code YOGI to save 15% https://vivarays.com/carnivoreyogi This episode is sponsored by Upgraded Formulas - Use code YOGI12 or YOGI to save on anything from Upgraded Formulas - https://www.upgradedformulas.com/?rfsn=4637317.2071db5&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=4637317.2071db5 Want more from me?
