Lexie is back!! As much as Autumn loves talking to herself I think we're all grateful for her return.
We cover a lot in this episode, answering the questions in the title and more.
Fasting is a highly-debated topic, and as we say all too often, there is not enough quality research for cycling women. We dive into intermittent fasting, religious fasting, cycle-syncing your eating patterns, and more.
History class this week dives into shaving: Have we always shaved, or is it a new phenomenon? Why do we shave? Is it unclean to have body hair? We unpack all of this and the stigmas around women's body hair.
Also, we'd be remiss if we didn't enter the chat on the Blue Origin spaceflight: Feminist landmark or capitalist stunt?
And of course we end with some good news! Tune in & make sure to follow the show so you don't miss out!
