Your Menstrual Cycle Explained: Energy, Hunger, Fat Loss & Training

Hello ladies. Confused about how your period affects your workouts, energy, and weight loss progress? You’re not alone.

In this video, I break down the 4 phases of the menstrual cycle in a way that actually makes sense and explain hormones like oestrogen, progesterone, FSH, LH, and testosterone without all the jargon.

By the end, you’ll understand:
✅ What’s really happening in each phase of your cycle
✅ Why your energy, mood, and cravings change
✅ How to train smarter (not harder) around your cycle
✅ How to adapt nutrition & mindset so you can keep making progress
✅ Common myths about training, fat loss, and periods

This isn’t just for women - if you’re a man, please watch so you can better understand and support the women in your life.

This is just a general guide, not a one-size-fits-all rulebook. Your cycle might run a bit longer, shorter, or come with different vibes before and after your period - and that’s totally normal. The main thing? Tune into your body, give it some love, and cut yourself some slack along the way 💙

Love you all, appreciate you all 💛
