If Your Period Feels Like a Punishment, This One's For You

Rolling into Zoom meetings at 9 AM feeling like you've been hit by a truck? Counting down the days until your next cycle with pure survival in mind? You're not alone—and you're definitely not broken.
In this episode, I share Izzy's story—a 25-year-old powerhouse in the business world who was told her only option for debilitating periods was to literally burn away her uterine lining. Spoiler alert: that wasn't the answer.

What we cover:

• Why the "eat less, move more" mantra is built for men's hormones, not women's complex 28-day cycle
• The critical lab markers your doctor probably isn't checking (and why "normal" doesn't mean optimal)
• How chronic restriction and overtraining sabotage your hormones and gut health
• The science behind cycle-based nutrition and why you need 2-3% more calories during your luteal phase
• Practical strategies for training with your cycle, not against it
• Why your period symptoms are red flags, not punishments

Izzy's results in 12 weeks:

• 18 pounds down (mostly inflammation)
• Regulated, pain-free cycles
• Waking up before her alarm with energy
• Glowing skin and deep sleep
• Training only 2-3x per week with better results

If you've been told surgery is your only option, that your labs are "normal," or that you just need more willpower—this episode is your wake-up call.
Your body isn't failing you. The system is.
Remember: We are not normal. We are intentional.
