Ever feel like your hunger skyrockets, your energy crashes, and your workouts feel impossible in the days leading up to your period? You’re not imagining it—your body is literally working differently during this time.

In this episode, we break down exactly why you experience more cravings, hunger, and fatigue before your period and how to work with your body instead of fighting against it. Your metabolism actually increases, your body burns more calories, and your brain starts demanding more glucose, which explains those carb cravings. But instead of white-knuckling through hunger and forcing yourself through workouts that feel awful, there’s a smarter way to approach this phase of your cycle.

We’ll cover:
✅ Why your metabolism speeds up before your period (and how many extra calories you burn)
✅ Why cravings aren’t just about willpower—and how to manage them without binging
✅ How to adjust your diet with protein, fiber, and strategic carbs to stay full and energized
✅ The best workout modifications to avoid burnout while still making progress
✅ How sleep and stress management play a role in cravings, recovery, and mood swings
✅ The importance of tracking your cycle so you can predict and prepare for these changes

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by how your body seems to work against you before your period, this episode will change the way you think about fat loss, training, and nutrition during your cycle. Instead of feeling out of control, you’ll walk away with actionable strategies to stay on track, feel better, and make your cycle work for you—not against you.
