From seed cycling to cycle-syncing workouts, social media is full of advice claiming women should eat, exercise and live differently throughout their menstrual cycle. But how much of it is backed by science, and how much is clever marketing?
In this episode, we're joined by Claire, a Registered Clinical Nutritionist specialising in women's health, PMOS, weight management and public health. Alongside supporting clients in private practice, Claire works as an Advanced Dietetic Assistant within the NHS in Bariatric Surgery and Complex Obesity.
Claire's passion for women's health began following her own PMOS diagnosis in 2019. That experience inspired her to complete a Master's degree in Clinical Nutrition in London, before securing funding to lead her own clinical trial investigating dietary and supplement interventions for PCOS management. Her research was published in 2025.
Together, we unpack the evidence behind popular trends like seed cycling and cycle syncing, explore what the research really says, and discuss how women can make informed, realistic choices that support their health without falling for the latest wellness hype.
