You've probably seen influencers raving about “cycle syncing” — the idea that you should plan your workouts around the phases of your menstrual cycle to balance your hormones, reduce PMS, and boost performance. But is any of it actually backed by science? In this episode, I'm breaking down: - what cycle syncing really is - what the research does & doesn't say - how your hormones actually influence your strength, stamina, and recovery - what to know if you're on hormonal birth control (spoiler alert: cycle syncing isn't for you) --- Show Notes: Get 20% off Natural Cycles & a Free Thermometer Sign up for a 1:1 Discovery Call Join the Imperfectly Paige Wellness Community Join the Compass Method DIY Program Jump inside my Rock the Bloat Minicourse Get my Core-Gi Workout Program with the exclusive listener discount!

In this week's episode, Ather chats with Magnus Hambleton, investor at byFounders and former data lead at Natural Cycles. Magnus has successfully applied transformers to improve fertility predictions in a medical setting. As an investor, he focuses on agentic AI and backs startups slightly ahead of what's currently possible, betting on near-future model capabilities. He remains cautious about LLMs' reliability and generalization, believing new architectures may be needed for AGI. While big tech is dominant, he sees room for startups in complex, workflow-driven applications.

As we approach the winter solstice and the long nights/short days of winter, it is important to give yourself the time and space to go inward. Unfortunately, that doesn't often align with the busy holiday activities and modern cultural norms for this season. So, how do we know when to rest and when to create boundaries so we can rest and receive? We must practice tuning into the intuitive knowing and listen to that inner voice about what our body and soul need. Winter is a time of senescence, a death and rebirth cycle. Give your body, nervous system, and energy field the opportunity to rejuvenate so you don't burn out. This way, you can plant the seeds for the seasons and year ahead and be ready to go when the time is right!  Offerings and discounts:Join the next Cosmic Rose Collective journey exploring the Solar Feminine.

In this episode I chat with Whitney Cardosi. After eight years coaching women in health and wellness, she became acutely aware at how much millennial moms lacked proper nutritional education as young women and shifted her focus to kids and families. As a mom of two young girls, Whitney became increasingly passionate in simple but valuable tools to properly educate our youth and support moms in doing the same. Local cooking classes, digital resources, recipes and parent workshops are all examples of how she supports moms, kids, and families.

In this episode of The Brilliant Body Podcast, host Ali Mezey, co-producer Florence Popoff and guest Karen Bellone discuss the often avoided topics of death, dying, and the natural capability of the body. They explore deep-seated fears surrounding death, how modern society is distanced from it, and the importance of having open conversations about mortality - of humans and other animals. They also dive into the idea of conscious living and dying, the discrepancies in generational attitudes toward death, and how engaging with the natural cycles of life can expand awareness. Reflective of cultural beliefs and personal experiences, this episode encourages listeners to open up and discuss these difficult yet enriching topics.MORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  www.alimezey.comPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:www.alimezey.com/personal-geometry-foundationsTransgenerational Healing Films: www.constellationarts.comMORE FLORENCE POPOFF:Website: www.gamriegardens.comInstagram: @gamriegardensMORE KAREN BELLONE:The Seventh Sense website: www.theseventhsense.orgFilm Website: www.kbfilms.comBIO:Founder, Doula, Educator: Karen Bellone, MFA, is a Certified End-of-Life Doula and Death Educator. She is the founder of The Seventh Sense in NY's Hudson Valley, where she is an integral part of a worldwide community that is reigniting the wisdom of death within our modern lives. She is also founder of Exit Strategy for Dying, a monthly Death, Arts and Culture Readers supporting a resource hub to educate and refocus the narrative around death and grief through the lens of arts, culture, storytelling and innovation. Prior to embracing her passion for end-of-life work, Karen has had a long career as an award-winning filmmaker and internationally collected photographer. She received a BFA in Film Production from New York University, and did graduate work with the world-renowned Actors Studio, through their inaugural program at the New School for Social Research.After training and becoming certified with INELDA (International End of Life Doula Association), Karenworked with an innovative hospice in Los Angeles where her skills as a death doula were developed and broadened. In addition to working with patients in various stages of their life journeys, she was responsible for training the volunteer staff, nurses and other hospice and medical professionals to bring more understanding, humanity and compassion into their work with the dying. She spoke regularly with groups, such as the Alzheimer's Project, about the role of the doula at end-of-life, and the space that can be held to bring about ‘a good death'. She believes strongly in the ability to demystify and assuage the fear that surrounds death in our culture and to foster safe passage for the dying, as well as to aid the families and loved ones through grief and bereavement.As a visual artist and storyteller, Karen acquired a multitude of skills throughout her career that unlocked a deep passion for the healing power of visual and auditory perception on human consciousness. She integrated these strengths and resources into tools to bring aid and comfort for those imminently facing their mortality. Working with somatic and sensory awareness, Karen utilizes visual, sound and meditation therapy, personalized guided imagery, and commemoration of the sacred in the form of ritual, legacy and memory work, in order to bring comfort - physically, emotionally, spiritually to celebrate and commemorate the life of the individual. In addition to her ongoing private practice, Karen is currently directing a feature film about living American artist Michelle Stuart, whose work also engages with the elemental and ineffable nature of existence.RESOURCES:Edgar Allan PoeExit strategy for dying (Karen's monthly newsletter)All the Little DeathsAllen GinsbergKaren's Episode A 'Good Death', Death Doula: Embracing Life & Mortality PART ONEIn Buddhism, death is viewed as a natural part of the life cycle and an opportunity for spiritual growth. The concept is deeply intertwined with the notions of impermanence (anicca) and rebirth (samsara). Rather than being an end, death is seen as a transition, where the energy of one's consciousness continues in a new form, influenced by karma—the cumulative effects of one's actions, thoughts, and intentions. The ultimate goal is to break free from the cycle of death and rebirth through enlightenment, which means reaching a state of liberation (nirvana) where the mind is free from suffering and attachment. Mindfulness and acceptance of death are considered essential practices, as they help individuals live more fully and prepare for the moment of death with clarity and peace.Green burial is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional burial practices that emphasizes simplicity, sustainability, and minimal impact on the earth. It typically involves using biodegradable materials, avoiding embalming chemicals, and opting for natural settings like conservation areas or designated green cemeteries. The goal is to allow the body to decompose naturally, returning nutrients to the soil, and preserving the surrounding ecosystem.Lambing season in Scotland, typically from March to May, is a busy and vital time on farms, as thousands of lambs are born each spring. This period is crucial for the meat industry, with farmers carefully tending to both ewes and newborns to ensure their health and growth. While lambing is often seen as a symbol of renewal and the start of spring, it is also a time of intense labor and long days for shepherds, who balance the joy of new life with the practical realities of raising livestock for food production.A Dream Within a DreamBY EDGAR ALLAN POETake this kiss upon the brow!And, in parting from you now,Thus much let me avow —You are not wrong, who deemThat my days have been a dream;Yet if hope has flown awayIn a night, or in a day,In a vision, or in none,Is it therefore the less gone?

Cyclical living is the practice of aligning with the natural cycles and rhythms present in our lives, whether it's the seasons, the Moon, your menstrual cycle, or your circadian rhythm. It can also apply to how we approach projects, meetings, or plan activities at work.  Everything in our environment and bodies operates in cycles—our sleep patterns, hormonal shifts, breathing, and heartbeat. The essence of cyclical living involves being mindful of these rhythms and adapting to the natural ebbs and flows of energy and emotions. For instance, in women's health, cyclical living often focuses on the menstrual cycle, encouraging individuals to adjust energy levels, productivity, self-care, and social activities according to the phases of their cycle (menstruation, follicular, ovulation, and luteal phases). More broadly, it can be applied to how we engage with seasonal changes—rest and introspection during winter, renewal and activity in spring. Cyclical living promotes tuning into these rhythms to enhance mental, emotional, and physical well-being. In this episode of The Happier Life Project, host Gabby speaks with Lou Perham, a Menstruality and Cyclical Living Mentor, educator, and speaker. Lou empowers women to embrace their cycles, prioritise rest, and find balance by syncing with life's natural rhythms. Whether it's the menstrual cycle, lunar phases, or seasonal transitions, Lou uses this framework to guide individuals toward holistic well-being. Lou shares her powerful story of healing and transformation through cyclical living. At 25, she was diagnosed with PCOS and told it was unlikely she would fulfil her dream of becoming a mother. However, by embracing the cyclical way of life, Lou was able to conceive naturally at 32. Lou offers practical advice on how to integrate cyclical living into daily life and explains its profound benefits for our mental health, highlighting how it reduces stress and burnout by encouraging self-compassion and acceptance of natural energy fluctuations. This approach also fosters greater self-awareness, helping individuals avoid the guilt or frustration that comes from trying to maintain a constant level of productivity. Tune in to learn all about cyclical living and how this practice can be a transformative way to reconnect with yourself and improve your mental and physical health.

In this episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition, I speak with elite cyclist and author Mackenzie Myatt. Mackenzie shares her introduction to sports, beginning with gymnastics and then working her way up to elite mountain biking. We discuss the highs and lows of an athletic life, and how competitive sports can be balanced with fun. Mackenzie highlights how periods of low motivation were the catalyst for her finding her identity outside of sports. For Mackenzie, this was combining her love of writing with cycling, and in 2023 she published her first book, “In Defense of Big Dreams”. We talk about the importance of writing as an outlet for emotions and processing feelings. For Mackenzie, poetry helps her navigate injuries and athletic lows, gain perspective and develop self-belief. I recommend all my clients also journal to understand their thoughts and feelings around food, their body, mindset and other challenges. This episode finishes with a fun new “Ask The Dietitian” section where Mackenzie asks me about why she is bonking. We chat about her nutrition challenges as an athlete, and how her intake and timing of carbohydrates can help regulate her blood sugar levels. Mackenzie shares the difficulty of fueling on a gluten free diet and the food anxiety is caused. We highlight the point that food intolerances can reverse, and how consuming more carbohydrates from gluten has elevated Mackenzie's performance. We referenced Mackenzie's book “In Defense of Big Dreams” throughout this episode and I recommend you check it out too! TOPIC TIMESTAMPS: 6:00 Introducing Mackenzie Myatt; her athletic path from gymnastics to elite mountain biking 13:00 Athletic highs and lows; why competitive sport can be fun 19:10 Being more than an athlete; carving out your own unique career path 30:00 Merging different identities: cycling and writing, athletics and femininity 33:30 The importance of expressing emotions and being your true self 38:50 Dealing with injury setbacks and finding happiness outside of sport 51:30 Confidence, self-belief and injury comeback mentalities 1:01:00 Why am I bonking?

In this episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition, I speak with Canadian Olympic sprinter and new author Micha Powell. The daughter of two Olympians, Rosey Edeh and long jump World Record holder Mike Powell, athletics is part of Micha's DNA. She talks about what it was like growing up with two Olympian parents and the impact that had on her own journey is sports. After playing multiple sports growing up, Micha, like her parents, found success on the track and quickly progressed to making the 2016 Canadian Olympic team in the 4x400m relay. Unfortunately, she didn't get to run in the Olympics, and Micha shares how she struggled with that disappointment alongside pressure and self-doubt. Micha continued to face multiple setbacks and mental challenges including imposter syndrome and injuries. These struggles motivated her to write a memoir “ Sprinting Through Setbacks: An Olympian's Guide to Overcoming Self-Doubt and Imposter Syndrome” and accompanying workbook all while training to make the Olympics! We dive deep into her book, sharing how everyone can benefit from mindset tools and lessons she's learned along the way. I recommend you check out her book “Sprinting Through Setbacks” and workbook here; I think you'll find them very helpful! We touch on Micha's intuitive eating approach and remind listeners that the “perfect” diet is not the healthiest diet.

In this episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition, I speak to the 2020 Olympic Champion in the pole vault, Katie Moon (née Nageotte). Katie will be looking to defend her Olympic title in a few days at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games! She touches on her bumpy build up to the Olympics, overcoming food poisoning and underperformance before winning gold. Katie details her steady progression in the pole vault from high school beginnings to NCAA D2 success and into her professional career. College was a big transition, and Katie opens up about the fear and anxiety that she's dealt with for years. She explains how going back to the basics and focusing on the process allowed her to reach higher heights. We dive deep into Katie's relationship with food and body image, something she's had to work on throughout her career. From unflattering pictures, social media comparisons, observing other athletes, and competing in a bikini, Katie talks about handling these triggers by focusing on her body's strengths, feeling good in training and competition, and learning that lighter is not better: to reach higher heights, Katie has had to gain strength, and yes, that meant gaining weight! We can all learn from how Katie has improved her body image, by caring more on performance and what the body can do rather than on what it looks like. Katie now embraces weight fluctuations and body changes throughout the year, and enjoys eating without restrictions. We discuss the impact of coaches and culture on nutrition and mindset, advocating for a healthy environment and support team that cultivates good habits around food, weight and training.

This episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast is with family medicine physician Dr. Jana Baatenburg MD. She is a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer and Owner of Concierge Medicine of West Michigan, opening in September 2024! Dr. Jana shares her path to becoming a doctor and how athletics factored in. Dr. Jana opens up about her struggles with RED-S and underfueling, including 12 years of amenorrhea -a missing period- and bone injuries. She talks about how finding CrossFit and a community of athletes who believe that stronger is better for performance kickstarted her RED-S recovery. Dr. Jana highlights how gaining weight led to big performance improvements, as well as finally regaining her period after 12 years! We discuss some of the body image and weight gain challenges she faced, and how ultimately her desire to stay injury free and enjoying the sports she loved motivated her recovery.  Dr. Jana is just one of many doctors and healthcare professionals I meet who have struggled with nutrition, and if that is you too, do not be ashamed. Even dietitians with extensive nutrition education can struggle with eating disorders, disordered eating and RED-S. We go on to discuss Dr. Jana's work as a family medicine physician and how concierge medicine is bringing better healthcare to patients.  TOPIC TIMESTAMPS: 4:00 Dr. Jana's path to becoming a family medicine doctor  7:00 Dr. Jana's athletic background in running and CrossFit  10:00 Dr. Jana's RED-S experience: amenorrhea, weight control 14:45 How CrossFit helped Dr. Jana's RED-S recovery 17:35 Gaining muscle (and weight) to improve performance  20:10 RED-S consequences: 12 years of amenorrhea, injuries and poor bone health  23:20 Period/ hormonal recovery  24:20 Weight gain and body image challenges; Working with a sports dietitian  28:20 Nutrition struggles as a doctor/ healthcare professional 31:00 Long-term bone health consequences and repeat injuries  34:30 Dr. Jana's work as a family medicine physician; Treating lifestyle/ chronic conditions 39:30 Concierge medicine practices: giving patients better healthcare; Dr. Jana's practice: Concierge Medicine of West Michigan, opening in September 2024!  Follow Dr. Jana and Concierge Medicine of West Michigan @cmwestmichigan, and your host, Lindsey Cortes, on Instagram @female.athlete.nutrition  Natural Cycles: Check out Natural Cycles here and 20% off subscription plus free thermometer!

How can we reconnect with nature, as divided as we are from the trees, the animals, the clean, fresh water, wind, and the quiet that used to surround our planet? How do we realize the presence of subtle healing energies, without exposing ourselves to dark entities? These questions and more will be answered today with none other than Arin Murphy-Hiscock, who has been involved in alternate spirituality for over 25 years. Arin's take on green witchcraft has struck a chord with people seeking to establish or reinforce their connection with nature, often a challenge in modern life. While trained in a Wiccan tradition, she personally follows an open spiritual path rooted in hearth and plant magic. To learn more about Arin and her wonderful books, check out arinmurphyhiscock.com.

In today's episode, Krista dives deep into the subject of voice and communication, sharing her personal journey with finding her authentic voice. From childhood memories of compliments about her voice to feelings of being unheard and undervalued, Krista's story illuminates the transformative power of voice in personal growth.  Krista discusses how our voice reflects our energy, defensiveness, and denial – it is the nexus point connecting mind, body, and soul. Almost 30 has allowed Krista to reclaim her voice and self, and she reflects on the challenging but beautiful path that comes with being heard by a large audience.  Throughout the journey of building the podcast, Krista has had to confront the fear of speaking her truth, the fear of abandonment, and the pressure to conform. Though not always easy, Krista encourages us to embrace the unique manifestation of our consciousness through our voice. We also talk about: Voice tone and its reflection of one's energy The impact of upbringing on vocal confidence  Taking vocal lessons + their unexpected benefit to podcasting Reclaiming authenticity + the challenges faced in intimate relationships The role of voice in creating intimacy + trust in relationships The Little Mermaid's societal impact on women The power of voice in manifesting reality and creating experiences Voice frequency as the medicine of the future Resources: Website: itskrista.co Instagram: @itskrista The Life Edit program   Sponsors: ARMRA | Go to tryarmra.com/ALMOST30 or enter ALMOST30 to get 15% off your first order.  Natural Cycles | Use code Almost30 at Naturalcycles.com to get 15% off an annual subscription + a free thermometer.  Chomps | Go to Chomps.com/ALMOST30, to see all the delicious flavors and get 20% off your first order and free shipping.  Jenni Kayne | Find your new uniform at jennikayne.com.
