Ladies Coaching, why?
Mihaela Ostafe
Women Coach & Nutritionist, Personal Trainer, Pilates Coach
No matter the age, our feminine physiology is different from the one of men. In the reproductive years, every week comes with its own specific hormonal spikes, different body temperature and a regularly changing metabolism, in function of the 4 phases of the cycle - follicular, ovulatory, luteal and menstrual phases.
Then, from her teenage, to top-fertility age, peri-menopause, menopause and to post-menopause a lady must deal with specific hormonal changes and impacts - and at all ages, these changes will influence her daily energy level, mind focus and relationships.
If our hormones change every week,
- why would we have the same breakfast throughout the month?
- why would we train the same way every week?
- why would we plan our agendas in the same way?
Your body energy level, as well as your mind focus and emotions respond to your hormonal changes. Food, is about hormones. Sports? Yes - it's about hormones. Stress levels and general planning? Again, about hormones.
So, how do all these influence your own, personal cycle and how does it impact on each area of your life?
Let's explore these aspects together!
Understand better how your body functions and work along with its natural rhythms - without forcing anything and letting the nature doing its job.
It will bring you a smooth change of energy, implicit body weight optimization, and a fantastic knowledge of yourself, along the natural rhythm of your body!

Did you know that most training approaches currently on the sports market were tested on men-only, and some only, on menopaused women?
Why? It's because these categories of the population have the most stable hormones, and the testing is thus facilitated. Problem is, if you are a lady in your reproductive years (and you don't take the Pill
Did you know that most training approaches currently on the sports market were tested on men-only, and some only, on menopaused women?
Why? It's because these categories of the population have the most stable hormones, and the testing is thus facilitated. Problem is, if you are a lady in your reproductive years (and you don't take the Pill) your hormones change every week. So all these approaches have not been tested on you - but they are proposed to you, every day, in most sports centers.
Learn how to train according to your own body changes, metabolism and temperature changes, and give your body what it needs: your sports time will become more effective, will bring you results faster and make you stronger and healthier in long run.
2. Balanced, smart food

If you are a lady in your reproductive years (and you don't take the Pill), your hormones change every week.
Food is the most powerful influencer of your hormones - and as you're having between 3 and 6 meals a day, you get as many chances to support your hormones and achieve a better balance. Isn't that fabulous news? :)

If you are a lady in your reproductive years (and you don't take the Pill), your hormones change every week.
Food is the most powerful influencer of your hormones - and as you're having between 3 and 6 meals a day, you get as many chances to support your hormones and achieve a better balance. Isn't that fabulous news? :)
Then, why would you eat random foods every day, when you can choose the foods that are best for you in a certain moment/ week of the month?
Don't worry, it's not rocket science,
and the benefits will be paying off quickly!
3. Your cycle & your agenda

Did you maybe notice that sometimes a simple activity that you plan (like writing a report, or going out for an event, or simply going for a run) feels easier in some moments than in others, no matter how much you enjoy that certain activity?!

Your hormones are influencing your mind focus, your capacity to relate to others, your physical energy... basically everything you do.
There are some activities that you can't change (some work agendas, events already planned by others etc.) but there is a great part of activities that you can plan for, when is the right time for YOU. And doing so will get you the best out of each activity you get involved in!
Let's make the right planning for you!

Did you know that for the entire period of breast-feeding, your cortisol levels remain higher than normal? It is a normal reaction of the body.
Moreover, for the following 9 months after giving birth, the body is fighting to re-create a new balance between all the endocrine organs. Your hormones aren't stable and can use specific, nurturing support, which involve the way you eat, your physical activities and efforts, as well as sleep and relaxation specific routines. It is not an easy time, but it is certainly an amazing and rewarding one, and taking care of you during these months will help tremendously your body to find a new, healthy balance and to set you to be a new, strong and energetic woman soon.

Between 11 and 21yo your body goes, slowly, through amazing transformations. It is a long journey that makes you transition from a 1-clock system (circadian rhythm) to a 2-clocks system (circadian + female cycle) that you will be keeping for the following 30 to 40 years.
These first 10 years are crucial for your future health and very important for your body to find its balance, to establish that amazing conversation between the all the hormonal organs in your body. It's a time that requires patience and guidance, good food for you and well planned physical training - rather than any conventional medication.
Most importantly: please stay away from any hormonal anti-conceptives and all hormonal medical interventions!!
Irregular cycles for the first years is just a normal part of the process - and acne, pain, migraine etc are just symptoms that can be treated with food and life style adjustments.
Let's plan things right for you, to assist your lady journey to be a healthy and harmonious one!
