How Exercise, Fasting, Stress, and Nutrition Affect Your Menstrual Cycle, with Dr. Carla DiGirolamo

Knowing what time of the month to expect your period is the bare minimum of understanding your menstrual cycle. Dr. Carla DiGirolamo is a dual board-certified physician in both obstetrics and gynecology and reproductive endocrinology, and a women's health specialist. In this episode of the Wild Health Podcast, she spoke to us about tailoring nutrition and exercise to your cycle, the impacts of things like physical or mental stress – even fasting and supplementation – on menstruation, and the stigma behind women and weightlifting, as well as moving through menopause.
