So a little backstory, if you all don't know this, I'm 42. I am, I say deep inside of

paramenopause because I have a lot of paraminopausal symptoms. And if you haven't experienced those

yet, or maybe you got lucky and you didn't experience them at all, it's things like very

heavy periods, insomnia, probably one week a month. It is

pretty heavy fatigue, probably 10 days a month because of either iron loss or just feeling really

tired because of whatever's going on with my hormones.

I give you that little backstory because I really change my workouts based on my cycle.

The biggest shift that has happened in the last five years is adjusting my workouts to my cycle

and it's probably one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Hey guys, it's Rach. Welcome to the show. I'm so glad that you're here with us today. And I have a favor,

which sounds kind of harsh if we just met, but I'm assuming that most of you

have been a part of this community for a hot minute, and so I got to ask, are you subscribed to

the podcast? Subscribing to the podcast you listen to regularly is one of the best things that you can do

for hosts like me. It helps to support the show and the staff that works on it.

It ensures that you never miss an episode when we drop a new one. And here's a cool thing about

subscribing. If you do it, and then you hate this show, just unsubscribe. It's one click away.

In the meantime, if you're listening, we would so appreciate it if you would just tap that button and make it official.

Hi, guys, it's Rach.

Welcome to another episode of Ask Rachach. This is where I answer questions from y'all.

People call in and leave a voicemail on our hotline and then I go through them with you in real time

and answer as if you were asking me the question right in front of me.

Meaning, I don't prep.
