How to Make Your Chronobiology Work for You

by Dr. Stacy Sims
Dec 17, 2024

Here we are in the thick of holiday season and I’m sure many of you are feeling the stresses and strains of this time of year. Having just done my ninth international/long haul flight of the year, I know I’m feeling it! This also got me thinking about harnessing the power of your chronobiology [or circadian rhythms], which is a topic I’m seeing gaining more and more mainstream media attention.

I know only too well that navigating these changes can feel confusing, frustrating, and even disheartening. Maybe your training isn’t as effective as it used to be. Maybe...
The Evolution of Menstrual Cycle Training
  Why We’ve Moved on from “Train by Your Phase.” For years, the conversation about women’s training centered on the menstrual cycle: do high-intensity work in the follicular phase, focus on endurance in the luteal phase, and rest during your period. (And for transparency here, I was one of the first to start talking about this, about 7-8 years ago). That advice was groundbreaking at first. It...
