Syncing Your Fitness and Nutrition with Your Menstrual Cycle | A Well-Rounded Approach: Understanding Your Menstrual Cycle for Better Fitness and Nutrition

Syncing Your Fitness and Nutrition with Your Menstrual Cycle | A Well-Rounded Approach: Understanding Your Menstrual Cycle for Better Fitness and Nutrition

Author: Joelle Suess | Podcast Producer & Entrepreneur September 5, 2023 Duration: 26:01
I am going to share with you how to understand and optimize your fitness and nutrition based on where you are at in your cycle. I absolutely love this episode because I'm going to teach you how this leads to a well-rounded way of training, a better understanding of your body and your biology, so things just start making sense. That's the big thing with my living in sync method. And what I teach is instead of wondering "why do I have these crazy cravings or why am I not feeling motivated, why am I not sleeping good this week?" Instead of having that, "why am I feeling this way?" You are understanding what's going on in your biology, that your hormones are different based on where you are at in your cycle, and you can bring that better understanding to either give yourself grace or to optimize and work with it. This is also really, really great for having variety in your fitness and nutrition plans.

Joelle Suess never intended to become an entrepreneur, but over a decade of navigating direct sales, creating courses, and coaching clients in nutrition taught her that a fulfilling life isn't about fitting into a predetermined box. On LIVING IN SYNC | Lifestyle & Wellness for Women in their 30s, she shares that hard-won perspective in conversations that feel like a coffee chat with a knowledgeable friend. This podcast digs into the real intersections of a woman's life-managing family dynamics and personal fitness, pursuing self-improvement while caring for kids, and integrating health into a busy schedule without losing your sense of self. Each episode is grounded in the idea of syncing with your own rhythm, whether you're in a demanding career phase, a new season of motherhood, or simply reevaluating what wellness means to you. As a podcast producer and entrepreneur, Joelle brings a practical eye to these topics, offering actionable ideas rather than abstract theory. Tune in for honest talk about building a life that feels genuinely aligned, where education, health, and personal growth aren't separate chores but woven parts of a whole. It’s a space for women navigating their thirties to find relatable stories and tangible strategies for living more intentionally, right in the present moment.
