Episode 45: Women’s Health, Fitness, and Cycle Syncing with Ingri Pauline Science & Chill

    • Science

My guest on episode 45 of the Science & Chill podcast is Ingri Pauline. Ingri is a weightlifting coach, National Strength and Conditioning Association-certified strength and conditioning specialist, and certified nutrition coach. Ingri is unique in that she only works with women, specializing in fitness and nutrition during different transition periods during women’s lives including fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and postmenopause.
Ingri uses a concept called cycle syncing to optimize the work productivity and athletic performance of her clients, which involves strategically using hormonal fluctuations during phases of a woman’s menstrual cycle to enhance work output. The topic of cycle syncing dominates most of this episode and there is really some fascinating information to be gained here — not just for women, but also for their partners. Trust me, I was taking dutiful mental notes during this entire episode.
If you’re not a woman, you’re probably thinking that this episode may not apply to you, but trust me, there is a ton of great information to be gained from Ingri that men, women, or any other partner to a woman can use to support her. Ingri is also just incredibly knowledgeable about strength, conditioning, and nutrition, and we chat plenty about these topics during our interview.
