Mm-hmm.

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, core temperature goes up, but the whole goal of the luteal phase is to build tissue. So this is where we're seeing a lot of shuttling of carbohydrate and amino acids to go to build that endometrial lining, and that's the whole goal. So yes, you need to eat more protein, you need to eat more carbohydrate, But again, the sticking point is, did you ovulate or not?

So if you aren't aware of if you ovulated or not, you're tracking your own patterns, then just be acutely aware that in about the week before your next period comes, you really need to be amping up carbohydrate and protein. because that's going to help you hit intensities. It's going to kind of level that playing field, especially on days where you feel like you can really hit those intensities.

You feel great, but then you go to do something and your heart rate's higher than it should be. You don't feel that you can hit those. If you're offsetting it with some increased carbohydrate beforehand, you're going to hit it.

So again, it's really dialing it back down to the individual now because we don't have enough robust research to make generalized ideas because of the nuance of have you ovulated or not? What are your ratios of estrogen and progesterone in that luteal phase?

So when we bring it back down to the general pop, it's like the best thing to do is to track your menstrual cycle over sleep, over how you're feeling, find your own patterns and dial in your training in your days according to what your pattern is.

It depends on how she feels. What we can't rely on are things like heart rate variability, because we know that changes with the autonomic nervous system change of progesterone. It's a good indication that you've ovulated because your heart rate variability tanks, but it's not a good indication of what your body can do. If you wake up, I always say it's the 10 minute rule.

You wake up and you feel awful and you're like, I really want to do this workout, but I don't know how it's going to go. Give yourself 10 minutes. If after 10 minutes, you can't hit those intensities or you just feel horrible,
