Key Takeaways

  • You can leverage intensity in the low-hormone state
  • Around ovulation, when you are in a more steady state it’s upping the reps and dropping the weight
  • The days before your period are about supporting  recovery and progesterone production
  • The de-loading phase can be moderating your exercise routine
  •  

Best Moments

‘There is a lot of sleep disruption in the high-hormone phase’
