Dr. Jen Pfleghaar joins me today to break down why your menstrual cycle is actually the key to optimizing your workouts, timing your nutrition, and finally making progress with stubborn weight loss.

As an emergency medicine physician who transitioned to integrative medicine after reversing her own Hashimoto's, Dr. Jen brings both clinical expertise and real-world experience. She explains why the "hustle harder" mentality works for men but can backfire for women, especially during perimenopause.

You'll learn why your stress resistance changes throughout your cycle, why daily intermittent fasting might sabotage your goals, and how to time everything from HIIT workouts to longer fasts. We also dive into why every woman needs to lift weights and red flags about hormone advice on social media. If what used to work isn't working anymore, this episode gives you a new framework for working with your body's rhythms.
