We asked the FH community on IG, "Do you switch up your workouts based on the phase of your cycle?" and 50% of you said YES! The other 50% never thought of doing that before. Lately, the phrase "cycle-syncing" has been pretty buzzy, but when it comes to syncing exercise specifically with your cycle, are really there any benefits? Is this just another useless trend? Can certain exercises be more effective? I do know that most fitness programs are tailored to a male’s hormonal cycle which obviously is drastically different from the female hormonal cycle. Today, I am chatting with special guest Berrion who breaks down everything you need to know about syncing your exercise with your cycle and if we should be doing it. At the end of the day, pick a workout that works for you and makes you feel great.

I feel like there’s this toxic vibe to wellness nowadays that’s causing us to become so overly obsessed with micro-managing our bodies, looking for the next quick fix to cure every single part of us. Making us believe something is wrong with us when in fact our bodies are very capable of self-regulating and we don't need every product on the market to achieve good health. The micromanaging and obsession is the part of wellness that we need to talk about. Wellness today lacks representation and it's so one way. Today, I have special guest Cassie, who is going to give you a step-by-step guide on achieving wellness in a way that is unique to you and actually works. It’s super important that we define what wellness really means to us individually and what it should look like. Wellness belongs to us all no matter your skin tone, body size, hair texture, and culture.

Some of you might side-eye me for some of these trends...but I stand by this list! Your girl is tired. We are entering into a new year, we are flourishing all year long... and nothing is stopping us... Okay?!
