She breaks down how women’s hormones shift across the month (and how training like a man all month can backfire), why intense HIIT and marathon-style cardio can spike cortisol and lead to weight gain in perimenopause, and how men can actually improve their relationship by understanding the phases of the cycle. We also talk fertility, insulin resistance, progesterone, endocrine disruptors (hello plastics), why stress is crushing libido, and a practical look at pelvic floor therapy, recovery, and what actually helps women feel better — without immediately jumping to prescriptions.
