Summary

One topic that I think is important for every woman to know about is their menstrual cycle. That sounds pretty obvious, but there are so many amazing things our bodies do that are just not talked about. Our periods may seem like a huge inconvenience at times, but if you’re really tuned in to what’s happening you can actually use your menstrual cycle to boost your productivity. One way to do that is by seed cycling, and Kate Eskuri joins me on this episode to tell us all about how she plans her small business around her cycle. Kate Eskuri is a registered nurse with her Doctorate specialized in Integrative Health. She is passionate about women’s health and currently works as a health coach and a college instructor. Kate is also the founder of The Foundation Blog, which she started because she was feeling a void on the internet of holistic approaches to health that were evidence based. She strives to give evidence backed, trustworthy information, on integrative therapies, natural remedies, and approaches to health. When Kate isn’t working, she enjoys spending time with her husband and dog, cooking, and running. In this episode we discuss: The four phases of a woman’s menstrual cycle The reasons behind why our energy and mood are affected by our hormones The benefits of seed cycling on your menstrual cycle Ways to best maximize your exercise around your period Resources: Body odor attractiveness as a cue of impending ovulation in women: evidence from a study using hormone-confirmed ovulation. Scent of a woman: Men’s testosterone responses to olfactory ovulation cues. Seed Cycling Overview 4 Book Recommendations about your Menstrual Cycle Spain Unveils Plans to be first in Europe for Paid ‘Menstrual Leave’ The Creamy Salmon Dinner Bonus Recipe: The World’s Easiest Dessert (blood sugar friendly!)

0:00.0	Hello, everyone. Today, I will be chatting with Kate Eskree. Kate is a registered nurse
0:13.4	with her doctorate specializing in integrative health. She currently works as a health coach
0:18.9	and a college instructor. In addition, she is the creator of the Foundation blog, a Modern
0:24.5	Women's Guide to All Things, Slow Living, Integrative Health and Holistic Self-Care. She
0:30.3	strives to give evidence-backed, trustworthy information on integrative therapies, natural
0:36.6	remedies, and approaches to health. In today's episode, we will talk about maximizing productivity
0:42.2	throughout the different phases of our menstrual cycles, the evidence or lack thereof,
0:47.7	or seed cycling, and other things related to our menses. Of random note, a few weeks ago,
0:54.6	Spain was the first country to offer a three-day menstrual leave to women that need it, which
0:59.6	I found to be pretty fascinating. I will link more to that information in the show notes.

1:31.9	We are basically going to tackle talking about the menstrual cycle, the different phases
1:39.2	that we have, and how we, as women, can basically make our lives more productive, or just
1:48.2	not work against ourselves during these specific phases, because there truly is a science
1:55.6	to each phase, and how we feel during each phase can affect our productivity, even our
2:00.5	workouts, and things like that, so we can work with our bodies. I think this is going
2:05.4	to be a really great episode for everyone to listen to.
2:08.8	Yeah, I think it will be really empowering, because I think we forget that half the world
