S5 Ep. 33: Train Like a Woman: The Missing Link in Women’s Fitness, Hormones, and High Performance

What if we told you that your menstrual cycle isn’t a weakness to overcome—but a superpower to embrace? In this bold and empowering episode of The Hormone Genius Podcast, Jamie and Teresa are joined by Jillian Bosak, women's health and performance coach, founder of Jillian B. Well, and a passionate advocate for redefining what it means to be a thriving, high-performing woman—in sync with your cycle. Jillian brings to light the often-overlooked truth: most women are being trained, coached, and supported as if they were men. With only 6% of sports science research conducted exclusively on women, the female experience in fitness, performance, and health is being sidelined. But not anymore. Together, we dive into: Why birth control being labeled as “women’s healthcare” is a disservice—and what women actually need How tracking your cycle gives you clarity, power, and performance insights What athletes (from everyday movers to pros) should look for when syncing training with their cycle How your hormones are not the problem—they're your secret weapon Why the female body is not fragile, and how to stop suppressing what makes it uniquely strong Jillian’s message is clear: You are not broken. You are brilliantly designed. And when you understand your hormones, you unlock a level of strength and confidence that can radically shift your life and training—for good. This episode is for women, coaches, athletes, and anyone who wants to stop fighting their body and start working with it. Whether you're an everyday athlete or pushing elite-level performance, your hormones matter. And it’s time the world recognized that. 🔗 Connect with Jillian Bosak: 📧 coach@jillianbwell.com 🌐 jillianbwell.com 📱 Instagram: @jbwellcoaching Listen, share, and help us spread truth and healing. 💊 A special thanks to our partner, We Heart Nutrition!
