The Boyfriends Guide to Understanding Her Menstrual Cycle — Holly Sinclair (Fertility Expert)
Ever wondered why a 9-to-5 schedule might be holding back your hormones?
Or how 300 extra calories could shift your mood and energy?
We’ll explore that and more in this conversation.
Here's a conversation with Holly Sinclair (@thewomensseries), my podcast guest this week on That One Time with Adam Metwally.
She’s a fertility and women’s health consultant. She specialises in guiding women to optimise hormone balance, nutritional support, and overall reproductive wellness.
Below are some of the key concepts we explored in the episode:
Hormones and Mood – Understand why progesterone is crucial for emotional stability and how to keep it in check.
Nutrition and Timing – Explore how increasing caloric intake in the luteal phase can transform your cycle.
Partner Support – Learn how men can meaningfully contribute to healthier hormonal balance.
