08 | Optimizing nutrition and hydration for your menstrual cycle
About this episode
In this episode of Fuel for the Sole, we answer Kara Lombardo’s question about the menstrual cycle and how we can use nutrition to help alleviate some of the negative side effects. We discuss the three phases of your cycle, what to expect from your training during each of these phases, and how to adjust your nutrition and hydration to align. We also discuss birth control, supplements and why racing on your period might actually be the best time.
BONUS: (36:37) We answer Philip Kallenberg’s question about what type of carbs we should be eating and when.
