Syncing Steps and Cycles: A Dance Scientist's Perspective

The Period Recovery Podcast
Syncing Steps and Cycles: A Dance Scientist's Perspective
Show Notes

For all the dancers and former dancers out there !! Join me today as I talk with Maria Dancer! Maria, better known as the Dance Scientist on Instagram, is a podcast host who has a ton of background in dance as a former dancer. Today we talk about dance and missing periods, as well as connecting the two of them together.


Listen in for more:

  • A missing period is like an injury; you aren’t in any pain or anything like that, but it still should be treated as if you have an injury regardless if it is not convenient for you
  • You can simply just listen to the health advice, but there’s work on your part too; if this (i.e. dancing, exercise, etc.) is something you truly love, you need to work on your “injury”, give it time to fully heal
  • There’s much we can attach to a woman’s menstrual cycle; during certain times of the month, we can access building more muscle strength, more energy, etc.


Enjoy this episode!
