0:00.4	Hello and welcome to the Wellness Mama podcast. I'm Katie from Wellnesswama.com and I am back today with Dr. Jen to tackle the topic of cycle sinking, mastering your hormones and boosting your vitality by understanding your cycle more deeply. And this is both a professional and a personal passion for Dr. Jen who has helped so many women with autoimmunity,
0:21.7	with hormone issues, and with understanding their cycle more deeply. And we dive deep today on
0:27.1	topics like specific supplemental support when peptides can come into play and cautions to
0:32.8	know if you're going to go that route, nutritional support, lifestyle factors, how to support the fluctuating hormones
0:39.5	at different parts of the cycle and during perimenopause as well. And she shares so many
0:44.5	actionable tips that you can learn from and implement immediately. I learned a lot in this
0:50.3	episode. So let's jump in now. Dr. Jen, welcome back. Thank you for being here again.
0:55.5	Thank you. Super excited to dive in. Well, if you guys missed it, we had an amazing first episode
1:01.2	all about perimenopause, and Dr. Jen gave some really helpful, actionable tips that women can
1:06.1	immediately try. And in this episode, I'm really excited to learn about a topic I have not gone deep on
1:11.8	on this podcast yet, which is the topic of cycle sinking and how that can be so beneficial
1:17.2	to women. I feel like to start off, it probably is important to define what that term is and
1:22.2	what falls under the umbrella of cycle sinking. So when we're talking about this, what do we
1:26.6	mean? What do you mean? What factors come into play? Yes, cycle sinking. So when we're talking about this, what do we mean? What do you mean? What factors come
1:28.7	into play? Yes, cycle sinking is sinking your activities, your diet, even realizing your
1:36.6	emotions and how you deal with things to your menstrual cycle. So yeah, this episode is just for women
1:42.2	who have a 28-day menstrual cycle. Now, this is also for women not
1:46.9	on birth control. I mean, if you're on birth control, you could still play, but it's going to be
1:52.5	different because your hormones are suppressed. So this is for menstruating women. And also, really,
1:57.9	I love this with perimenopausal women. And this is kind of why I am so obsessed with it and
2:05.0	wanted to write about it and talk about it more. Yeah, I love that. I feel like we talked a little bit
2:11.0	in our first episode about the hormone fluctuations that naturally happen during the menstrual cycle.
