Welcome to the Living in Sync Podcast, I am your host Joelle Suess and on this podcast you are going to be hearing how you can live fully into the present moment of your life no matter what stage, season, or phase (of your cycle) you are in. I have been an accidental entrepreneur for over a decade. I have experience in direct sales, course creation, 1;1 nutrition coaching, and everything in between. For a long time I put myself into a box. At first it was at home fitness, then it was intentional productivity as a mom, then it went back to hormone health and cycle syncing, and now I am just sharing it all with you. I am going to be sharing solo topic episodes as well as amazing guest conversations about all the things. No matter if you are a stay at home mom, corporate climber, entrepreneur, or anything in between I hope you enjoy each weeks topics because it is going to be a blend of everything! Health, wellness, nutrition, and living in sync with your cycle will still be some of our highlighted topics but why do we have to be so obsessed with our bodies losing weight when life is so bountiful and beautiful. There is so much more to life! I am in the midst of evolving, changing, and challenging myself! If you are in for real life topics of conversation make sure you are following the show so you don’t miss an episode!

There's a lot of really unique and specific things that make the feminine Edge collective special. One of those things is a monthly Bible study. My faith and understanding that this is how we were made by God and understanding our body and our biology as His creation is very important to me. But just like the living in saying podcast in The Feminine Edge Collective, sometimes we talk about a lot of different topics. And today I am bringing you one of the Bible studies that I hosted on Women and Money and the Feminine Edge. Collective members have loved this one. This is one that they say they play on repeat again and again, because in the Feminine Edge Collective we have an app so you can see the classes on video or I have a private podcast feed for you when you join the Feminine Edge Collective and so this private podcast feed can be accessed on the podcast apps. And this is one that they have said they've listened to time and time again.

Joelle shares her own experience of focusing on protein and produce in her meals and encourages listeners to incorporate all these components into their meals.

I am going to share with you how to understand and optimize your fitness and nutrition based on where you are at in your cycle. I absolutely love this episode because I'm going to teach you how this leads to a well-rounded way of training, a better understanding of your body and your biology, so things just start making sense.
That's the big thing with my living in sync method. And what I teach is instead of wondering "why do I have these crazy cravings or why am I not feeling motivated, why am I not sleeping good this week?" Instead of having that, "why am I feeling this way?" You are understanding what's going on in your biology, that your hormones are different based on where you are at in your cycle, and you can bring that better understanding to either give yourself grace or to optimize and work with it. This is also really, really great for having variety in your fitness and nutrition plans.

In this podcast episode, I share a fascinating article I was reading about the influence of hormones on ADHD. How does estrogen, a main sex hormone, can impact cognition, emotion, motivation, and cognitive function in women with ADHD. You will learn the effects of hormone fluctuations during different phases of the menstrual cycle, with symptoms potentially worsening during the luteal phase.
I also mention the importance of understanding postpartum hormonal changes and the need for more research in this area. Check out the recommend resources such as Dr. Jolene Brighten's article and Patricia Sung's podcast for further information and support.
