On today's clip from Episode 305 of The Proof Podcast, guest Dr Alyssa Olenick discusses with me the scientific evidence around the concept of cycle syncing within women’s fitness realm. They challenge the concern of a one-size-fits-all model of training based on phases of the menstrual cycle but suggest the need for understanding the individual athlete and listening to one's body instead.

We talk about one by one:

• The questionable efficacy of training adjustments based on menstrual cycle phases.
• The historical context of the fitness industry's approach to women's training and its impact.
• The significance of auto-regulation in training, allowing for adjustments based on personal feelings and experiences.
• The potential benefits and limitations of considering menstrual cycles in training plans, emphasizing the need for a more individualized approach.
