Cycle syncing gets talked about a lot online, but rarely explained properly. In this episode, we break down the actual physiology behind why cycle syncing works - not just the aesthetic version, but the science. We cover: • What changes hormonally across the menstrual cycle • How oestrogen and progesterone influence energy, mood and recovery • Why stress tolerance shifts across the month • The connection between your nervous system and your cycle • How metabolism and core temperature change in the luteal phase • What research says about performance and adaptation • Why the same workout can feel completely different two weeks apart • How I personally cycle sync now compared to when I first started This episode is about understanding your rhythm, reducing friction, and learning to work with your body instead of overriding it. Once this clicks, everything else makes more sense.
