You may have noticed there are times in your cycle where your motivation and physical stamina are lacking when it comes to your fitness routine. No matter how motivating your trainer is, while telling you to push through one more rep or the Peloton instructor is saying “push”… you may just find that there are times where you just aren’t feeling that motivation. This isn’t because you’re lazy. Instead, the secret lies in your unique female monthly cycle and what day of the month it is for you. On today’s episode, Cody discusses the science of how to exercise with your cycle, to achieve your fitness and wellness goals.
Cody explains how exercising with your cycle doesn’t have to be a complicated endeavor. We intuitively already have the cues from our body—it’s a matter of respecting it’s signals and not unfairly trying to hold yourself to the same standards as our male, non-cyclical counterparts. Implementing the strategies, shared in today's episode, we can support our hormones so that they work with us and not against us to take our fitness goals to the next level. It’s seriously a game-changer when we know how to tap into our female super-powers all month long!

Our immune system defends our body against illness and disease. It’s a complex system that includes the skin cells, blood, bone marrow, tissues, and organs that — when working the way they should — protect our body against potentially harmful pathogens (things like bacteria and viruses), and limit damage that happens from noninfectious agents (like sunburn or cancer).
To best protect our body from harm, every component of our immune system needs to perform exactly according to plan. The best way we can ensure this happens is to practice the "good-for-us' behaviors our immune system runs on every day.

In this episode Cody helps us understand out immune system better and share seven ways to keep our immune system healthy.

A healthy gut is directly linked to healthy hormones.
On today's episode Cody takes us on a deep dive all about how to optimize our hormones by addressing our gut health.

Consistency is one of our most powerful tools. It helps power us through the day-to-day so we can reach our goals. It can also make tougher routines become more automatic, triggering action, which in turn boosts motivation. But, why do we all struggle to stay consistent?
On today's episode Cody introduces us to a new and exciting tool that will actually make being consistent much easier and enjoyable. Mixhers has a new app!
Cody invited Greta Ballif, Mixhers Brand Director, to tell us all about what makes the Mixhers app so special and how it can help support each of our lives, to help us improve our health and happiness, which is at the heart of why Mixhers created this app for you.
The Mixhers app will help us to track our health and cycle each day, and it will also help us be better able to understand what's really going on in real time with our moods, energy, sex-drive, sleep and more. The Mixhers app helps us to work with our hormones each day, (with nutrition, exercise, supplementation and lifestyle) rather than working against them, which often leads to frustration and keeps us from staying consistent. Now, we will know what nutrition and exercise strategies we can implement each day to support us best, depending on what phase of our monthly cycle we are in.
The more consistent we are with using the Mixhers app, the more customized our individual experience will be. Having the app is like having a Health Coach in our pocket. We'll not only be able to use the app to track our cycle, but we'll also have access to coaching and learn so much about our unique bodies and what best supports our health.
App will officially release on January 4, 2023. Download this free tool and benefit from all that it can offer! Go to your app store and search for the Mixhers app, you'll be guided through the entire set up.
