A woman argues that your menstrual cycle isn't something to push through but to work with. She explains how adapting training, nutrition, and daily activities to each phase of your cycle can be empowering, and how shame and silence have kept women from making these adjustments.
As a woman, to respect the menstrual cycle phases. To know that I am not the same person in each phase of my menstrual cycle, and that it is okay to feel different and to do as much as possible to adapt my training and my activities and my food to these different phases. That we as women are different biologically, and there is a great power to do as much as possible to adapt to this menstrual cycle. And this is something maybe one year ago I wouldn't have said, oh no, today I'm going— I'm gonna take it very easy because I'm in the premenstrual cycle. I would know, so, oh, this is a secret, this is something that I should not say out loud because I'm even a little like embarrassed to say no, I should not talk about this.
