Summary
Kitty spent most of her adult life dieting. She jumped from one quick fix diet to the next. Shakes, fasting, keto and low carb. You name it she's done it. She was obsessed with food and felt like she was either restricting or binge eating. She felt happiest when she was thin but she had to starve herself and train 6-7 days a week to maintain it. She had irregular and painful periods, suffered miscarriages, rarely slept through the night; she was bloated, constipated and exhausted. That all changed in 2015 when she met her partner Craig and stumbled across the work of Ray Peat and Emma Sgourakis. What she learned transformed her body and health. It's now Kitty's mission to free women from restrictive diets, help them restore their metabolisms, balance their hormones and build bodies they love.
Today Kitty joins me for an important discussion of optimizing exercise for the female body, menstrual cycle, and hormone cycle! Is it possible to exercise less, eat more, and lose weight at the same time? Tune in to find out!

| 0:25.6 | Welcome to the Fertility Friday podcast, your source for information about the fertility awareness method and all things fertility. I'm your host, Lisa Hendrickson Jack. I'm the author of the fifth vital sign |
| 0:39.1 | and the fertility awareness mastery charting journal. I'm a certified fertility awareness educator |
| 0:44.0 | and holistic reproductive health practitioner with nearly 20 years of experience teaching women |
| 0:48.9 | to connect to their fifth vital sign through menstrual cycle charting, balancing hormonal |
| 0:53.7 | health, and optimizing the menstrual |
| 0:55.5 | cycle without hormones. I'm outspoken about hormonal birth control and its impact on fertility |
| 1:01.6 | and overall health because you have the right to know how your body works and how artificial |
| 1:06.3 | hormones disrupt that natural process. I host live coaching programs to help you achieve optimal fertility |

| 1:33.8 | that you're here with us today. In today's episode, I'm talking about a topic that I have not covered a ton on the podcast, |
| 1:48.4 | exercise and weight loss. And I mean, there's a number of reasons for that. There's so many |
| 1:53.7 | different topics to cover. But ultimately, as you've gathered, especially for my long-time |
| 1:58.7 | listeners, you know, the purpose of the podcast isn't directly related to weight loss and not fitness and those types of things. |
| 2:04.7 | It's more so related to achieving menstrual cycle health overall and achieving hormonal balance |
