Are you someone who has been on birth control for years yet doesn\\u2019t really understand its long term effects? How familiar are you with your cycle? Did you know that having horrible PMS symptoms is NOT normal and due to hormone imbalances that we can fix through lifestyle adjustments in each phase of our cycle? Unfortunately, women haven\\u2019t been well-informed about our own bodies, but it\\u2019s time to take our power back and equip ourselves with knowledge of how our bodies can function their best. And we have the best guest to lay it all out for us \\u201chormone virgins\\u201d in this episode!
Alisa Vitti is busting female wellness myths and teaching us how to get to know our bodies and cycles better. Alisa Vitti is a women\\u2019s hormone and functional nutrition expert and pioneer in female biohacking. She is the best selling author of WomanCode, and her new book, In the FLO. She is the creator of the Cycle Syncing Method\\u2122\\u2014 a female centric diet and lifestyle program that leverages hormonal patterns for optimal health, fitness and productivity. As the founder of FLOLiving.com, she has built the world\\u2019s first menstrual healthcare platform that helps women around the world put their period issues like PCOS, Fibroids, Endometriosis, and PMS into remission naturally using her highly effective FLO Protocol and the FLO Balance Supplements.\\xa0
Get out your notebooks, because this episode is full of information you need to know to optimize your life through hormone balancing with the Cycle Syncing Method. We talk about why so many women struggle with hormone imbalances, how to cycle sync your workouts, what to eat in the different phases of your cycle, and so much more. We know you\\u2019re going to learn so much in this episode, just like we did. Make sure to share this episode with a friend because all women deserve to know what\\u2019s going on with their bodies.
\\u201cThat whole relationship that women historically have had with exercise, with fitness, with dieting, with their bodies, with weight has been made unnecessarily toxic because they\\u2019ve been given a blueprint that belongs to the self optimization for a man\\u2019s metabolism. I created the cycle synching method because the form of our self care must follow the function of our hormones.\\u201d - Alisa Vitti

\\u201cThe cycle syncing method is the method I created to help women really understand what to do to take care of themselves correctly in each phase of their cycle. Doing this reduces stress, protects your delicate reproductive hormone balance, protects ovulation, reduces PMS, keeps blood sugar; does all the things you need it to do which is the direct opposite of how you\\u2019ve been told to care for yourself.\\u201d - Alisa Vitti
