Your cycle is the most underrated performance tool you own and most women are fighting it instead of using it.

Your cycle is the most underrated performance tool you own — and most women are fighting it instead of using it.In this episode, Poppy breaks down exactly why you feel like a different athlete in week 2 versus week 4, why your hunger in the luteal phase is not a willpower problem, and how fuelling with your cycle rather than against it changes everything — from your training consistency to your body composition to your hormonal health.You'll learn the physiology behind each phase of your cycle, why the same 10km run feels completely different depending on where you are hormonally, and how to fuel every phase practically, including what to eat more of in the luteal phase when progesterone raises your resting metabolic rate by up to 300 calories.I also shares real client stories, women who got their periods back after years without one, and women whose severe PMS reduced significantly, all through cycle-aware fuelling and training.If you've ever blamed yourself for having an off week, felt like you'd lost your fitness overnight, or wondered why fat loss feels impossible in week 4, this episode is for you.You'll leave knowing:↳ What actually changes in your body across each phase↳ Why week 4 is harder — and what to do about it↳ How to fuel menstruation, follicular, ovulation and luteal differently↳ Why hunger in the luteal phase is physiology, not weakness↳ The practical framework I uses with every coaching clientNeed help?
