Summary

 Hi hi! How are ya? I've got a new solo podcast episode up today, chatting about how to adjust your workouts throughout the month!

You might notice that certain types of exercises and workouts feel differently throughout your cycle. Sometimes HIIT workouts are perfect, and other times, you feel more like yoga or light strength training. Today, I'm diving into how you can make your cycle work for you and optimize your workout routine for results and overall wellbeing. 

Here's what I talk about in today's episode:

- How to adjust your workouts and nutrition to align with your menstrual cycle

- Why we shouldn't do the same types of workouts all month long

- How our productivity and social interactions change throughout the month

and so much more.

More resources from this episode:

I love love love the meals from Sakara LifeUse this link and the code XOGINAH for 20% off their meal delivery and clean boutique items. This is something I do once a month as a lil treat to myself and the meals are always showstoppers. You can join their fall reset now!

If any of my fellow health professional friends are looking for another way to help their clients, I highly recommend IHP. You can also use this information to heal yourself and then go one to heal others, which I think is a beautiful mission. You can absolutely join if you don't currently work in the health or fitness industry; many IHPs don't begin on this path. They're friends who are passionate to learn more about health and wellness, and want to share this information with those they love. You can do this as a passion, or start an entirely new career. 

You can use my referral link here and the code FITNESSISTA for up to $250 off the Integrative Health Practitioner program. I highly recommend it! You can check out my review IHP Level 1 here! I just finished IHP2 and will share a review of my experience, too. 

I'm still obsessed with my sauna blanket. This is one of my favorite ways to relax and sweat it out. I find that it energizes me, helps with aches and pains, I sleep better on the days I use this, and it makes my skin glow. Link to check it out here. You can also use my discount (FITNESSISTA15) for the PEMF Go Mat, which I use every day, and the red light face mask, which is a staple in my weekly skincare routine. 

Get 15% off Organifi with the code FITNESSISTA. I drink the green juice, red juice, gold, and Harmony! (Each day I might have something different, or have two different things. Everything I've tried is amazing.)
