The Art of Cycle Syncing l Learning to Listen to Your Physiology and Optimize Your Hormones, Energy and Resilience
In this episode, we explore the powerful practice of cycle syncing--a method of aligning nutrition, fitness, sleep, and daily habits with the four phases of the menstrual cycle (menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal) to optimize female health and performance. Designed for women seeking better energy, hormonal balance, and productivity, this episode breaks down how to use biofeedback tools like heart rate variability (HRV) and resting heart rate (RHR) to track recovery, predict hormonal shifts, and guide training intensity.

Your Body Is Listening: Unlocking Sound Frequency Therapy with the WAV Watch l Linda Bamber Olson on Harnessing Subtle Frequencies to Calm the Nervous System, Relieve Pain, and Restore Vitality
In our interview with Linda Bamber-Olson, founder of the WAVwatch, we explore the powerful role of sound frequency in health and wellness. Linda shares how her personal journey—growing up with hearing loss and witnessing her family’s cancer battles—inspired her to create a wearable, EMF-free device that delivers targeted frequencies through the skin to support the body’s natural healing processes. The WAVwatch 2.0 is easy to wear and preloaded with frequency programs addressing issues like pain, sleep, stress, detox, circulation, inflammation, Lyme disease, cognitive focus, and more. Unlike other wearables, it avoids Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and relies on safe, non-invasive vibration therapy based on the idea that every organ and cell has a natural frequency that can be rebalanced when disrupted. Linda’s mission combines holistic wellness with practical technology, offering a drug-free, user-friendly tool to restore harmony in the body—making sound therapy accessible for people of all ages and health conditions.Linda Bamber-Olson developed a passion for sound after being born deaf in one ear. Her love for percussion revealed the healing power of vibrations, inspiring her to explore sound as a wellness tool. This passion, paired with frustration over limited options during her mother and sister’s battles with breast cancer, led her to create BRAS, a business focused on thermography and breast health. Linda’s journey culminated in the creation of the WAVWatch, a wearable device using sound frequencies to promote wellness, now widely praised for providing instant relief. A sought-after speaker, she has appeared on podcasts with experts like Carrie Madej and Dr. Bryan Ardis, sharing insights on sound healing. Linda’s groundbreaking work continues to inspire, and her book detailing her health journey is set for release in early 2025.SHOW NOTES:0:39 Welcome to the podcast!4:59 About Linda Bamber Olson5:51 Welcome her to the show!7:15 The healing potentials of sound10:28 Discoveries of Tesla and Rife15:37 How does sound differ from vibration?19:19 What is resonsance in the body?23:15 Minerals for cellular health25:56 WAV Watch frequency sets31:00 *MIMIO*33:35 Epstein-Barr & Lyme support38:02 Stories of WAV Watch transformations44:25 EMF-Free watch48:44 How Linda got into sound frequencies50:18 Thermography vs Mammography1:00:20 BRAS Thermography Locations1:00:59 More about WAV Watch1:06:21 Her final piece of 1:07:15 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Website: Wav Watch - code: BIOHACKERBABES for $100 offBRAS ThermographyInstagramYouTubeFacebookTikTokMimio Health - code: biohackerbabes to save 20%Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
