The Menstrual Cycle

The Menstrual Cycle is an important process to understand in the context of health, fitness and training. It has an impact on energy, performance and progress.
This video/podcast takes you through the science, the roles of oestrogen and progesterone and how to plan and adjust training and nutrition around your monthly cycle.
​This is all from a general perspective - any issues you have or fundamental changes you think you might need to make should be discussed with a doctor or qualified health professional, whom you usually get advice from about contraception and hormone health.
