Strong with Julie

In today's episode I interviewed my client Jeanie! We have been working together for OVER a year and she is absolutely crushing it! It hasn't been all highs, we've had some low moments but she pulled herself out of them and continues to put in the work. I truly think she is a great role model and cannot wait for you guys to listen to this episode!!!

Should You Change Your Workouts Based on Your Cycle?

We’re talking:

- what the research actually says
- why your gains don’t turn off
- cravings + hunger before your period
- auto-regulation > rigid rules

COACHING: juliexfit.com

PROGRAMS + 1 time macro set ups: juliexfit.shop

In this episode, I break down what the research SO FAR actually says about strength training and fertility, including:

• Why fertility is a whole-system issue, not just an ovulation issue
• How muscle and insulin sensitivity indirectly support reproductive health
• What studies show about physical activity, IVF, and conception outcomes
• Why high volumes of vigorous exercise may work against fertility for some women
• The difference between cycle syncing and evidence based auto-regulation
• How to structure strength training, cardio, and recovery when fertility is the priority

This episode is for you if you’re trying to conceive, navigating PCOS or irregular cycles, preparing for IVF, or you simply want to protect your future fertility while staying strong.

This is educational, not medical advice, and everything discussed should be personalized with your physician or fertility team!!!!!

So many of us label ourselves as LAZY when what we’re really experiencing is overwhelm and decision fatigue!!! In this episode I broke down why your brain shuts down when life feels heavy, how that’s rooted in real neuroscience (nervous system dysregulation), and why beating yourself up only keeps you stuck :(

TOPICS COVERED:

•

The difference between laziness vs overwhelm

•

How stress, perfectionism, and mental overload trigger paralysis

•

Science backed tools to get back into motion... even when you don’t “feel like it”

•

Small habits to rebuild confidence and consistency again

•

A faith grounded reminder that discipline is built not bought!

If you’ve been hard on yourself lately, this episode will feel like a deep breath and a gentle push forward 💛 HOPE IT HELPS LOVE YA!
