Menstrual Health Series - What is really going on in our bodies?
Emily Capodilupo is the Vice President of Data Science and Research at WHOOP. That means that Emily has a lot of knowledge on the human body and the autonomous nervous system, which controls basic bodily function not consciously directed, such as breathing, the heartbeat, and digestive processes.
On this fifth episode of the menstrual cycle series, Emily explains in details the different phases of the menstrual cycle. She helps us understand what is really going on in our body during each phase of the menstrual cycle, and why are these things happening. She also explains how our energy levels and our recovery may be affected in each phase of the cycle, and how does that change when hormonal birth control is used.
