And there is that steep drop-off of progesterone and estrogen into that menstrual cycle.

And for some women, they're more sensitive to that.

So that's like PMS, PMDD, like that can drive that.

But you might do the same training session in the gym in your late luteal phase, and the same weight, say it's 100 pounds.

If in your follicular phase it feels like an effort of seven out of 10, well, now it might feel like a

Nine out of ten.

And it might not be that your muscles can't move that weight.

You might just your your effort levels, the motivation, all of those things might be impacting that.

And then that's compounded by women with increased menstrual cycle symptoms that report it.

Report also more increases of impacts on their performance, right?

So there's multiple factors going at play here.

Um, there's little things here and there across the cycle that might be more real and true.

Like, for example, there might be changes in like thermoregulation in the luteal phase.

So meaning you would get warmer or you would get warmer and you couldn't cool down as quickly.

You might sweat more salt and lose have more sodium loss because you might increase your sweat rate.

So for women that are doing

Like endurance performance that might be something where, like, you might want to dial in your hydration.

Or your sodium electrolyte strategy for like an endurance of it if you were in that.

So I think a lot of the times when we say that there's like not one concrete menstrual cycle program, that means that there's none of these things are happening.

But it's not this like, oh, we changed all of these things every single week or to every hormone profile.
