Women have an important biological rhythm they experience every month that affects their productivity, weight, sex drive, energy, and mood. It’s essential to stay aware of, but it has been widely ignored by medical, nutritional, and fitness research. Women often diet, deprive themselves, and cram as much as possible into their day, striving to accomplish impossible to-do lists. I see so many of them scheduling their lives based on a 24-hour time cycle, ignoring the intuitive time their bodies naturally keep: a monthly cycle with four hormonal phases. Understanding this offers some incredible advantages.
That’s what today’s episode is all about. If you’re a woman in your reproductive years who’s feeling burnt out, low on energy, or just “off,” this one’s for you. And men, this one is also for you—understanding a woman’s unique rhythms can only improve and enhance your relationships with your wife, daughters, friends, and colleagues.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, I dive into the world of the infradian rhythm and hormones with Taylor Groff, a Certified Nutrition Specialist, and my co-writer of the Try This Newsletter.
