Über diesen Titel

 In this episode of the Rewired Woman Podcast, Kat and Mads open up about cycle syncing and what it means to live in rhythm with the phases of the menstrual cycle. What begins as a light conversation quickly becomes personal and vulnerable, touching on painful teenage periods, the effects of birth control, fertility concerns, and the cultural silence that surrounds menstruation. Together, they explore how neuroscience, spirituality, and lived experience intersect, showing how syncing with your body’s natural cycle can bring relief, clarity, and a deeper sense of connection. Part one focuses on the “winter” season of the cycle, or menstruation. Kat and Mads share both research and practical strategies for navigating this phase, from nutrition and exercise to self-care and rest. Cycle syncing is the practice of aligning daily habits with the phases of the menstrual cycle. During menstruation, the body and brain naturally shift into lower energy, which makes rest and gentle care important. Nutrition choices such as warm meals, hydration, and herbal teas can help reduce discomfort. Gentle movement like stretching, yoga, or mindful walking is more supportive during this phase than intense exercise. Talking openly about menstrual health helps break down stigma and creates space for healing. If you found this episode helpful, share it with a friend who might benefit.
