Summary

What if you could get stronger and love how you feel after every workout, just by moving with your body’s natural rhythm? Are you finding that there are days where you just don’t have ANY get up and go? Or days where you feel super strong, but they’re not lining up with what kind of workouts you have planned? What if we told you this could have to do with your hormonal cycle?

Because of metabolic and energetic shifts that your hormones initiate on their own, we already have the most effective blueprint for becoming the most balanced version of yourself. All you have to do is utilize it. This is where our special guest Courtney Babilya steps in. Courtney is an ER Nurse, Women’s Health Specialist, and the founder of the Keeping Balance Method, which helps women work with the four phases of their menstrual cycle as a template to build strength, gain energy, and connect with your body. Tune into this weeks episode to learn more about how to train WITH your cycle instead of against it.
