Alisa Vitta, pioneer of female biohacking, women’s hormone and functional nutrition expert and author of the best sellers ‘Woman Code and ‘In the Flo’ talks to Angela about how to harness your hormones and feel great every day.

The links between nutrition and hormones are well established and when women understand their infradian system they can make changes throughout their cycle to make sure they can work at their optimum throughout their cycle.

This is a great opportunity to understand more about your infradian rhythm and how you can learn to lean into what you are naturally inclined to do at a particular time in your cycle bringing peak performance and feeling great every day into your life.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Hormonal ratios have to be in optimal balance and when they are you have no symptoms no cramps, no PMS and no heavy bleeding just a healthy vibrant cycle and the benefits that come with that.
The infradian rhythm influences six different systems in the body – your brain, metabolism, the immune system, your microbiome, your stress response system and reproductive system
The reason the infradian rhythm has been left out of the conversation is because women have been actively left out of medical fitness and nutrition research
You are disrupting your infradian rhythm constantly because you didn’t know it existed and you weren’t told  how to take care of it
The cycle thinking methodology builds on foundational pillars and finally, you can start to feel like you are supposed to
Your metabolism changes during your cycle, in the first half it’s slightly lower so you can and should eat slightly lower calories
In the second half of your cycle your metabolism speeds up and you will need to eat more calories each day, if you don’t then you start to store more fuel as fat.
You need to alter your calorific intake according to where you are in your cycle
Your resting cortisol levels are lower in the first part of the cycle making it a good time to do higher intensity training. As you move into the second part of the cycle resting cortisol levels are higher and you should do strength training
Postpartum you should be eating to replenish yourself and rebuild the micronutrients in your body
Perimenopause starts at 35 and is the unwinding of the infradian clock
Every ovulation is an opportunity for your body to protect your brain, heart and bones both today and beyond the reproductive years
Your routines need to change 4 times a month to keep in a peak performance state and you need to be aware of where you are so you can work at your optimum throughout your cycle.
