Podcasts about Menstrual cycle

Historically, trauma research has been done primarily on men, and then applied to women's bodies as if it's going to work in the same way. But as our guest today, Somatic Emotional Processing facilitator Veronica Rottman, shares, women currently suffer from twice the rate of anxiety and depression, make up 80% of the population with autoimmune disease and are much more likely to experience burnout. Veronica is the founder of Soma School and has devoted over 40,000 hours over the past seventeen years to trauma resolution. In the conversation today she explores the female nervous systems; including how women and those socialised as female experience trauma differently inside a patriarchal culture, why the female nervous system is more prone to the freeze response and and why it's important to think carefully about how we use the term ‘regulation' when it comes to trauma resolution and our nervous systems. Veronica also has her own personal trauma healing journey from complex post-traumatic stress and in her earlier life, she experienced PMDD, menstrual pain and other symptoms, which she describes as her body revolting against the patriarchy. After practicing menstrual cycle awareness for many years, she now no longer has pelvic pain and today she shares how the practice has helped her to have a more embodied relationship to her pelvis, and to understand her cycle through sensations. We explore:The fact that Veronica hasn't encountered a woman or person experiencing PMDD who doesn't have a history of trauma whether it's more subtle, low-level and chronic, or more extreme experiences. Why somatics and wellness need to be less focused on regulation for women, and more about being with and softening into what's happening in our cyclical bodies. The role of oxytocin in the trauma response, why women experience trauma relationally, and the importance of cuddle puddles. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Topic Warning: Mental Health. Death and End of Life Care. Menstrual Cycles. Harry Potter. Sex and The City. I am sharing some of the most impactful advice I've implemented in my own massage career — insights that didn't require another certification, workshop, or degree, but did require some Radical Massage Therapists sharing their journey on the podcast.Drawing from conversations with past podcast guests, I'm exploring how the treatment environment influences client outcomes, how massage therapists can create their own paid time off, why syncing your schedule with your menstrual cycle matters, how clear cancellation policies protect your nervous system, and what it looks like to hold compassionate boundaries in emotionally heavy work like palliative care.This episode is an invitation to stop waiting for permission and start shaping a massage career that supports your health, finances, and life outside the treatment room.

Have you ever wondered if your menstrual cycle has a deeper meaning? Have you tried tracking your cycle, only to find it confusing, overwhelming, or hard to keep up with? Did you receive menstrual health education that felt incomplete or disconnected from the lived experience of womanhood? If so, this episode is for you. In today's podcast, we're joined by Annie Schuler, author of Women of All Seasons: The Symbolism of the Menstrual Cycle, for a thoughtful and refreshing conversation about the sacred design of the female body and the deeper significance of the menstrual cycle.

After being guided by her doctor to take the pill for twenty years to manage painful periods, breathwork practitioner Harriette Wight was still dealing with challenging bleeds and decided to try something different. She was guided by a friend to try seed cycling, then learned how to track her menstrual cycle and then - via her Yoga teacher - she discovered breathwork. The combination of breathwork and cycle awareness changed everything for her. Breathwork, as Harriette defines it, is the practice of using the breath to consciously change how we feel physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. And today in our conversation we explore the ancient roots of breathwork and the modern day expression, and why it is such a powerful tool for health and wellbeing, particularly when it's used in combination with menstrual cycle awareness. Harriette is a graduate of Red School's Menstruality Leadership Programme, and through her own intimacy with her cycle, she's created a body of work designed around specific breathwork practices to support each of the inner seasons of the menstrual cycle. In our chat today, she shares her MLP experience including how it changed how she sees herself, how she wants to show up in the world, and how she delivers her work. We explore:How the inhale and exhale correspond to the two movements of energy within the menstrual cycle, which Alexandra and Sjanie have named: the via positiva and the via negativa. Simple breathwork practices to support you to rest when you bleed, manage the rising energy in your inner spring, to help you feel confident in your inner summerA ‘recovery breath' practice to manage premenstrual emotional reactivity.---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

This week, Ron Murphy talks with Dr. Jennifer mark, an OBGYN from the Haliburton Family Health team about the Menstrual Cycle. What it is , why it is and it's purpose.

Ever feel like you're waking up as two different people depending on the week of the month? One week you're taking on the world with total confidence, and the next, you're second-guessing every decision you've ever made. It turns out, that isn't just "you being emotional", it's actually a sign of your brain responding to a very specific biological rhythm.This week on Live Well Be Well, I'm sitting down with the brilliant Dr. Sarah Hill. She's an evolutionary psychologist and the author of This Is Your Brain on Birth Control and The Period Brain. Sarah has this incredible way of explaining how our hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, aren't just about reproduction; they are actually "wise advisors" that shape how we think, who we're attracted to, and how we show up in our work and relationships.Here's what we explore together:- Your Hormones as Information: How these biological signals act as internal guides for your behavior and motivation.- The "Two Advisors" Theory: Why feeling different across your cycle actually makes you a better, more well-rounded decision-maker.- The Power of Progesterone: Why this often-ignored hormone is actually a neuroprotective "superpower" that helps your brain slow down and recover.- Cycle Variability: Why your "symptoms" can change every month based on everything from sleep to stress.- The Male Perspective: A fascinating look at how men's testosterone is actually more reactive to the environment (like sports or competition) compared to the predictable cycles of women.- Bridging the Cultural Gap: How to stop overriding your body's natural cues in a world that expects you to be the same person every single day.Love, Sarah Ann

Your menstrual cycle is so much more than “just your period”—it's a monthly rhythm your body moves through with purpose. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how the cycle works in a simple, easy-to-understand way: what's happening in the follicular phase, why ovulation matters, how progesterone impacts your mood and PMS, and what your body is trying to tell you through symptoms like cramps, bloating, acne, and fatigue. If you've ever felt confused by your hormones or frustrated that nobody taught you this, consider this your big-sis guide to finally understanding your body and learning how to support it with confidence. @holyandhormonal

One of the most beautiful and practical gifts of menstrual cycle awareness is how it awakens a newfound capacity to know and assert our boundaries. As we track our shifting emotions, mental state and energy levels through the cycle month, we get to know our unique strengths and our limits. This helps to build confidence in ourselves and our nature, so that when we become aware of a boundary that has been crossed, we're more able to find a skillful way to use the power of NO. So today we're exploring the power of menstrual cycle awareness for setting boundaries, especially when you're highly sensitive, in the premenstrual phase of your cycle, and in the years running up to and during menopause, and how this is potentially a life-changing and even world-changing act. We explore:How to work with the inner critic voice that invariably wakes up when we decide to claim a boundary and take care of ourselves. How the initiatory times in our menstruality life arc; like matressense, perimenopause, menopause, illness, loss require even stronger boundaries to hold ourselves through liminal times.Why we all need to re-write the story of the emotional messages of inner autumn as boundary signals rather than irrational outbursts.---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Creatine is a hot subject right now, but I'm guessing you might not know as much about it as you could. Well step into a new creatine masterclass with our friends from Qualia. This episode shows you why it is not just for muscle, but one of the most powerful and well studied upgrades for brain energy, metabolism, sleep resilience, and long term human performance. You will learn how creatine supports mitochondria, buffers ATP, reduces cravings, and helps you think, train, and recover with more energy instead of relying on willpower. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Greg Kelly for a deep, practical masterclass on creatine and energy biology. Greg Kelly is a naturopathic physician, functional medicine expert, and longtime researcher in supplements and nootropics. He has spent decades studying creatine, mitochondrial function, cognition, and performance, and has contributed to peer reviewed research while working directly with athletes, clinicians, and high performers. Together, Dave and Greg break down how creatine works at the cellular level, why it matters for cognition, emotional regulation, and metabolism, and how it supports the brain and body during stress, sleep deprivation, dieting, and recovery. They explore neuroplasticity, ATP production, magnesium, methylation, and why energy availability drives discipline, focus, and resilience more effectively than willpower alone. They also explain why creatine matters for women, aging adults, and people dealing with fatigue or obesity, and how creatine supports brain function even when muscle mass is low. This conversation connects bodybuilding research with modern longevity science, nootropics, functional medicine, and sleep optimization. Dave and Greg also expose why creatine quality matters, how contaminants can impair mitochondrial function, why some products fail label claims, and how to choose forms that absorb better and cause less bloating. Practical strategies like dosing, timing, stacking with magnesium, and using creatine with hot coffee are all covered, including why Dave uses it with Danger Coffee as part of his Smarter Not Harder approach. You'll Learn: • Why creatine acts as an ATP buffer for both muscles and the brain • How mitochondria drive cognition, metabolism, and emotional regulation • The real dosing debate from low daily maintenance to higher cognitive doses • Why women often need more creatine than men • How creatine supports performance during sleep deprivation and sleep debt • The link between magnesium, creatine phosphate, and ATP production • How methylation and TMG relate to creatine synthesis and timing • Why creatine can reduce cravings by improving cellular energy • How low quality creatine and contaminants can damage mitochondrial function • When creatine matters most for longevity, resilience, and human performance Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Known for her clarity, skepticism, and ability to translate complex physiology into practical coaching decisions, Alyssa returns to the show to tackle one of the most misunderstood topics in modern fitness.In this episode, Alyssa joins Andrew Coates to unpack what she actually means when she says “most women would be better off if they trained more like men”—and why so much women-specific training advice is built on shaky assumptions, incentives, and half-understood biology.Rather than arguing for a one-size-fits-all approach, Alyssa makes a strong case for prioritizing training experience, individual capacity, and fundamentals over sex-based fear-mongering and hormonal hype.IN THIS EPISODE, ALYSSA SHARES INSIGHT ON:What she really means by “women should train more like men”The difference between women-based training evidence vs. women-based hypothesesWhy many popular influencers sell certainty without sufficient evidenceThe incentives behind unproven or disproven training narrativesWhy differences between individuals often matter more than sex differencesWhether women (or anyone) should fear cortisol spikes from intense trainingWhy stress is not inherently bad and how context mattersHow stress management actually fits into training and lifeWhy elevated heart rate during lifting is not cardioWhy strength training cannot replace cardiovascular trainingHow menstrual cycle considerations are often oversimplifiedAnd much moreInstagram: @doclyssfitnessCHAPTERS00:50 Debunking Fitness Myths: Training Like a Man01:14 The Importance of Structured Strength Training02:24 The Role of Intensity in Training03:28 Nutrition Tracking and the MacrosFirst App04:32 Programming for Women vs Men06:01 Understanding Stress and Hormones in Training12:26 Debunking Hormonal Hypotheses20:25 Fitness Status vs Sex Differences26:15 Hormonal Effects on Women's Training27:18 Menstrual Cycle and Training Adaptations29:16 Perception vs Physiological Impact32:13 Individual Variability in Menstrual Cycles34:03 Cardiovascular Responses and Training Adjustments38:24 Lifting vs Cardio: Clearing the Confusion46:35 The Importance of Cardiovascular Fitness52:00 Final Thoughts and TakeawaysSUPPORT THE SHOWIf this episode challenged your thinking, you can support the show by:Subscribing and checking out more episodesSharing it on social media (tag me — I will respond)Sending it to a coach or client confused by hormone-based fitness adviceFOLLOW ANDREW COATESInstagram: @andrewcoatesfitnesshttps://www.andrewcoatesfitness.comPARTNERS AND RESOURCESRP Strength App (use code COATESRP)https://www.rpstrength.com/coatesJust Bite Me Meals (use code ANDREWCOATESFITNESS for 10 percent off)https://justbitememeals.com/MacrosFirst – FREE Premium TrialDownload MacrosFirstDuring setup, answer: How did you hear about us?Type: ANDREWKNKG Bags (15 percent off)https://www.knkg.com/Andrew59676Versa Gripps (discount link)https://www.versagripps.com/andrewcoatesTRAINHEROIC – FREE 90 Day Trial (2 steps)Go to: https://www.trainheroic.com/liftfreeReply to the email you receive (or email trials@trainheroic.com) and let them know Andrew sent you

Happy New Year! We have a gift for you to help you start your 2026 infused in cyclical wisdom.Everything that Alexandra and Sjanie create at Red School is focused on inspiring us to connect to the power that lives within our cyclical nature, so that we can know and claim our own leadership roles in our lives. So, in service of this, today Alexandra and Sjanie do a power card reading with the Red School power cards, to help you choose a menstrual cycle power to guide your leadership this year.And by leadership they mean what you're built for, your gift for the world. And as Sjanie says in this conversation - your unique way of leading in your life is sourced in your connection to your menstrual cycle. Alexandra added a beautiful visual, saying that it's like an umbilical chord to the source of your being, to the mothership of you. We had so much fun doing this, and our hope is that you feel like we're all sitting together round the kitchen table playing! There are three cards to choose from… which one will be your menstrual cycle power ally for the year to come? We explore:How the menstrual cycle helps us to live our own unique leadership (including Sjanie's latest premenstrual example of how her cycle is helping to grow her up through her journey with self-responsibility). How the menstrual cycle holds us in a sustainable rhythm of self-care, particularly through inviting us to stop and drop our bundles The Red School power cards as a tool for understanding the different menstrual cycle powers that live inside the four inner seasons of the cycle - and you'll have an opportunity to choose one to guide your year ahead.---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

In this episode of the Jack Westin MCAT Podcast, Mike and Molly break down one of the most confusing and heavily tested topics in MCAT Biology: the menstrual cycle.Instead of memorizing hormone charts and phase names, we focus on understanding the story behind the cycle so you can answer any MCAT question, even when it's asked in an unfamiliar way.We cover:

How much do hormonal fluctuations really influence performance and recovery? Should women be adjusting their training and nutrition based on the menstrual cycle? And do female athletes need different protein strategies or recovery protocols than men? These are questions that have fuelled countless online claims, from rigid "cycle syncing" programmes to supposedly gender-specific nutrition rules. But how much of that is actually grounded in evidence? In this episode, the conversation tackles those debates head-on, exploring what we truly know about female physiology, adaptation, and recovery, and where confident narratives outpace the science. You'll hear from four leading experts: Professors Kirsty Elliot-Sale, Stu Phillips, Shona Halson, and Dr. Eric Helms, as they unpack the data on menstrual-cycle variation, autoregulation, and the real determinants of muscle growth and recovery in women. These discussions were originally recorded live as part of "The Inside Advantage" event hosted by Optimum Nutrition at the McLaren F1 Performance Centre in the UK, where Danny Lennon moderated the session.

Your Cycle Isn't the Problem — The Way We've Been Taught to Live IsWhat if the days you feel flat, emotional, tired, or “off” aren't something to fix… but something to listen to?In this episode, Sally is joined by Claire Baker — menstrual cycle educator, author, and founder of Cycle Coach School — for a grounded, honest conversation about menstrual cycle awareness, agency, and the long-term impact of ignoring the body's rhythms.We're not asking you to ‘love your period', we're just saying it might be nice to stop fighting with your body.

The moon is a big topic of conversation within the Red School community. Many who aren't menstruating practice lunar tracking in place of menstrual cycle awareness, and those who have a menstrual cycle often bring moon-inspired questions, such as: ‘should I bleed on the full moon or the new moon?' And ‘what to do when I'm bleeding but the moon is full and I feel pulled in two directions?'. So today we're exploring how cultivating a connection with the moon can support us to enter circular and cyclical time. Our guest today is visual artist and mother April McMurtry. April has been lunar tracking for twelve years, and describes herself as a guide for repairing our relationship with the cyclical nature of time by attuning to the moon.In today's conversation we explore how following the ebb and flow of the moon can help us to transform our habits of overriding of our cyclical nature, as well as break free from the myth and tyranny of consistency.We explore:April's fascinating response to the question of whether we should bleed on the full moon or the new moon (and it might be different to what you think). How motherhood brought April to burnout, which led her to step back from teaching and lean into the wisdom of the moon as a way to get grounded in rhythms, rest and stillness.The beauty that can be found in darkness, and how the end of all cycles deconstructs, dissolves and empties us out in preparation for the new. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

When you practice menstrual cycle awareness, you start to feel more connected to yourself. This process of remembering and embodying more of who you truly are means that you may come into contact with parts of yourself that have been disowned, or that you've been shamed out of claiming.Our conversation today is especially designed to support you if you've been encountering or unearthing memories or experiences related to trauma as you track your emotional, physical and spiritual ebb and flow throughout the cycle month. Whether you've experienced acute trauma, developmental trauma, ancestral trauma or collective trauma caused by sexism, racism, homophobia, ableism and other forms of othering, discrimination or prejudice, Alexandra and Sjanie explore how cycle awareness can create a grounding of presence and self care to support trauma healing, through the lens of Sjanie's trauma healing journey, as well as stories from the Red School community, We explore:How the dismissal, suppression and denial of the menstrual cycle, and our cyclical nature is a form of subtle gaslighting that in itself is a form of trauma. Why certain phases of the cycle, such as the premenstrual phase, as well as perimenopause and menopause, open you to your shadow side and your trauma.Some practical steps to get started with working with your cycle to support trauma healing. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Can science really help us live longer - and feel better while we age? In this episode, longevity expert Kayla Barnes-Lentz joins Jonathan and Dr Federica Amati to explore how daily behaviours, emerging science, and personalised data may shape our health span. Many people believe longevity requires extreme routines or expensive treatments, but new evidence suggests simple habits may have a powerful impact. This conversation asks one central question: how can we age well while still enjoying life? Together, Kayla, Jonathan and Federica explore what longevity science currently understands… and what it still doesn't. Kayla shares her personal journey from chronic fatigue and brain fog to measurable improvements after changing her diet, sleep routine and lifestyle. The discussion covers nutrition, sleep, oral health, fasting, environmental toxins, supplements, wearable tracking, personalised lab testing, and why women may need different guidance based on physiology and life stage. For listeners wanting practical steps, this episode includes guidance on five foundational habits such as consistent sleep timing, reducing late-evening eating, flossing and dental check-ins, supporting your gut and oral microbiome, and increasing plant diversity in meals.  As science continues to uncover how and why we age, what small behaviour could you change today that your future self may thank you for? And if you could meaningfully extend your healthy years, how differently might you live now? Unwrap the truth about your food

Dr. Jen Pfleghaar joins me today to break down why your menstrual cycle is actually the key to optimizing your workouts, timing your nutrition, and finally making progress with stubborn weight loss. As an emergency medicine physician who transitioned to integrative medicine after reversing her own Hashimoto's, Dr. Jen brings both clinical expertise and real-world experience. She explains why the "hustle harder" mentality works for men but can backfire for women, especially during perimenopause. You'll learn why your stress resistance changes throughout your cycle, why daily intermittent fasting might sabotage your goals, and how to time everything from HIIT workouts to longer fasts. We also dive into why every woman needs to lift weights and red flags about hormone advice on social media.

Feeling overwhelmed by the constant hustle? You're not alone. As women, we're natural influencers and nurturers, yet our own racing minds can often leave us exhausted and yearning for a peace that lasts.What if the very rhythm of your body, your menstrual cycle, isn't a burden, but God's gentle, intentional gift to draw you closer to Him? It's a built-in invitation to experience His sufficient grace in every season of the month.In this episode of Serenity on Steroids, host Vianca Joy offers a transformative perspective: your cycle is a sacred roadmap made up of four distinct seasons, each with a divine purpose.Discover how to:Rest & Reset in your menstrual phase (your spiritual winter) by anchoring yourself in the present-tense reality of God's “I AM” presence.Build & Create in your follicular phase (your spring) with energy that comes from trusting God with your new beginnings.Radiate & Connect in your ovulatory phase (your summer), stewarding your confidence and influence for God's glory.Discern & Complete in your luteal phase (your autumn), turning heightened sensitivity into spiritual wisdom and purposeful action.This heartfelt discussion also covers navigating perimenopause as a spiritual passage, embracing prayerful movement as a “healing dance,” and understanding how living one day at a time is rooted in the very name of God.If you're ready to move from exhaustion to empowerment and align your life with the wise, grace-filled design God created, this episode is for you.Find your divine rhythm. Find your serenity.Keywords: Christian women, menstrual cycle, hormonal health, faith-based wellness, biblical womanhood, perimenopause, spiritual growth, mental health, mindfulness, prayer, God's grace, feminine design, ovulation, menstruation, PMDD, postpartum, motherhood, Catholic, biblical living, peace, burnout, rest.I was regretting the past,and fearing the future.Suddenly my Lord was speaking:"My name is I Am".He paused.I waited. He continued..."When you live in the past,with its mistakes and regrets,it is hard. I am not there.My name is not I WAS.When you live in the future,with its problems and fears,it is hard. I am not there.My name is not I WILL BE.When you live in this momentit is not hard.

One of the questions that comes up again and again in the Red School community is this: how can I free up my voice and share my truth? So many of us, particularly women and those socialised as female feel stuck, silenced or disconnected from our true expression, so today we're exploring how the practice of checking in every day with your menstrual cycle and how it's influencing your energy and mood can support you on this quest. Through our personal stories as well as stories from the community, we explore how menstrual cycle awareness is a discipline that keeps you close to yourself, and how this practice organically awakens an inner warmth, connection and confidence which lines you up to receive inspiration about what it is that you're here to express and share with the world. We explore:How menstruation cocoons you so that you can step away from the noise of the world and rest into a sanctuary of connection with your voice - the inner winter silences the world so that you can finally hear yourself. Tools for working with your inner critic and self expression - such as containing the critic in the premenstrual phase of the cycle - so that you can practice experimenting and paying with sharing your voice in the preovulatory phase, your inner spring.How to support ourselves when the holding back of our voice comes out as premenstrual rage or implodes inside as depressive cycles. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Subscribe to Forever Strong Insider: https://foreverstrong.supercast.comIn this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Heidi van den Brink; one of the only scientists in the world studying the ovarian transition from fertility to menopause. Together, they unpack what textbooks and wellness influencers often miss: the biology behind how your ovaries, uterus, metabolism, and nutrition interact across every stage of a woman's life. Dr. Heidi reveals the never-before-seen dynamics of the ovarian cycle, how follicles develop in “waves,” and what really happens during the menopause transition. They discuss how undernutrition, obesity, and metabolic health shape reproductive hormones; why early menarche and delayed ovulation matter for long-term health; and the surprising connection between your gut microbiome, bile acids, and fertility. If you've ever been told to “balance your hormones” with seed cycling, apps, or supplements, this episode separates myths from mechanisms.

Send us a textHow artificial light impacts female menstrual cycles and their relationship to lunar cycles of the moon.Summary: Dr. Förster talks about how biological clocks, including circadian, tidal, lunar, and annual cycles, regulate behaviors in various species, with a focus on lunar cycle effects on human menstrual cycles. They explore historical and modern data suggesting that menstrual cycles may synchronize with lunar phases, a phenomenon potentially disrupted by modern artificial lighting, particularly blue light from LEDs post-2010. The conversation also covers circadian rhythm mechanisms in fruit flies and humans, highlighting the role of light and neuropeptides in maintaining biological synchrony.About guest: Charlotte Förster, PhD is a senior professor at the University of Würzburg specializing in chronobiology, particularly circadian rhythms in fruit flies, and has recently explored lunar cycle influences on human menstrual cycles.Discussion Points:Biological Clocks: Various clocks (circadian, tidal, lunar, annual) regulate behaviors; circadian clocks manage 24-hour cycles, while lunar clocks influence reproduction in marine species like corals and Christmas Island crabs.Lunar Cycle & Menstruation: Historical data (pre-2010) showed many women's menstrual cycles synchronized with lunar phases (full or new moon), but this decreased post-2010, possibly due to blue light from LEDs disrupting biological rhythms.Blue Light Impact: Blue light from modern devices mimics daylight, potentially desynchronizing circadian and lunar clocks, with melanopsin in the eyes playing a key role in light sensitivity.Winter Synchronization: Menstrual cycle synchrony with lunar phases is stronger in winter, particularly January, possibly due to brighter moonlight or gravitational effects when Earth is closest to the Sun.Circadian Mechanisms: In fruit flies, 240 neurons manage circadian rhythms via clock genes with a 24-hour feedback loop, conserved in humans, where neuropeptides regulate slower, sustained rhythms.Health Implications: Disrupted circadian rhythms can desynchronize body clocks, impacting digestion, immunity, and increasing risks of cardiovascular issues, obesity, and cancer.Lifestyle Tips: To maintain synchrony, maximize daytime light exposure, minimize nighttime blue light, time meals appropriately, and exercise during the day, not late at night.Reference paper:Study: Synchronization of women's menstruation with the Moon hasSupport the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

"People come to us knowing they want vitality back but struggling actually to make the change out of fear." — Dani Sheriff Dani Sheriff is the founder of the HA Society, a specialty coaching practice dedicated to helping women recover their missing menstrual cycles. With years of expertise in the nutrition, sports, and fitness industries, Dani specializes in the fertility awareness method as a diagnostic tool. As a certified fertility awareness practitioner, she guides women in optimizing their menstrual cycles, helping them achieve or avoid pregnancy naturally. Dani is also the host of the Hypothalamic Amenorrhea Podcast, where she brings attention to issues related to menstrual health. Episode Summary: In this episode of "Oh, My Health… There is Hope!" hosted by Jana Short, the spotlight is on the often-overlooked issue of hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA). Dani Sheriff, the founder of the HA Society, joins Jana to discuss her journey through missing menstrual cycles and the revelation that what seemed like an inconvenience was actually a significant health indication. Dani's personal struggle and her path to recovery have fueled her mission to guide other women through similar challenges and create a safe space to discuss reproductive health issues usually left in the shadows. Dani Sheriff sheds light on the prevalence of hypothalamic amenorrhea among women who engage in intense exercise, have restrictive diets, or both — often under the misconception that a missing period can be ignored. This episode explores how lifestyle changes can help restore hormonal balance, emphasizes the importance of embracing one's body needs, and challenges harmful societal standards surrounding femininity and health. Whether you're aware of HA or hearing about it for the first time, Dani's insights offer a fresh perspective on tackling reproductive health issues through holistic methods rather than temporary fixes. Key Takeaways: Understanding HA: Hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) occurs when a woman's menstrual cycle is absent due to insufficient energy intake and excessive exercise, leading to chronic low hormone levels. Health Implications: Missing periods are not just a fertility issue; they can lead to serious health problems like osteoporosis and chronic low estrogen if left unaddressed. Cultural Pressures: Many women feel pressured to maintain a particular body image, resulting in unhealthy habits that impact their reproductive health. Holistic Recovery Approach: Dani champions a lifestyle change approach to recovering menstrual cycles, involving dietary adjustments, reducing exercise intensity, and embracing a supportive community. The Importance of Community: Creating and being part of a supportive community is crucial for women dealing with HA to find hope, connection, and accountability in their recovery journey.

Dr Sarah Hill is a professor at TCU, a research psychologist, expert in women's hormones and brain science, and an author. Each month, women experience hormonal changes that go far beyond the clichés of PMS. These shifts can influence mood, stress response, and even how women relate to others. So how can recognizing these patterns make it easier for both men and women to navigate relationships when things don't feel normal? Expect to learn why hormones play such a role in psychological function, what actually happens to women during their time of the month and what a PMS brain is, if women understand what their cycle does to them, what men can learn about women's hormonal cycles and how birth control changes the brain, if oral contraceptives could be the biggest unexamined mental health experiment currently playing out, if PMS is actually a design feature rather than a flaw, and much more… Sponsors: See me on tour in America: ⁠https://chriswilliamson.live⁠ See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://chriswillx.com/deals Get a Free Sample Pack of LMNT's most popular Flavours with your first purchase at https://drinklmnt.com/modernwisdom Get the brand new Whoop 5.0 and your first month for free at https://join.whoop.com/modernwisdom Get 5 Free Travel Packs, Free Liquid Vitamin D, and more from AG1 at https://ag1.info/modernwisdom Timestamps: (0:00) Introducing the Menstrual Cycle (5:30) What Women Experience During Their Cycle (20:29) The Ovulatory Shift Hypothesis: Researching the Cycle (44:05) How Do Men and Women Differ Hormonally?

My guest is Dr. Nirao Shah, MD, PhD, a professor of psychiatry, behavioral sciences and neurobiology at Stanford University School of Medicine. We discuss how the brains of males and females differ and how those differences arise from different genes and hormones during fetal development, in childhood and adulthood. We discuss what drives male- versus female-specific behaviors and how hormonal fluctuations across the lifespan, including puberty, the menstrual cycle, menopause and aging – affect behavior, cognition and health. Additionally, we discuss how biology relates to gender identity and the impact of hormone therapies on brain circuits that regulate mating, parenting and social bonding.
