Stef Williams is a fitness creator, businesswoman and the OG endometriosis influencer. She joins Sophie Richards to reveal how cycle syncing changed the game not only for her endo, but every part of her life.
In this episode, Stef explains how to eat, work out and be your best self in every phase of your cycle. Heard of the luteal phase but no idea how to navigate it? Wondered why your ovulation phase isn’t the thriving week you’ve been sold? Stef shares her guide on when to push for a PB or get cosy on the sofa.
Plus, she shares how she’s navigating postpartum (only 5 months at the time of recording!), how she struggled with identity in pregnancy and dealing with weight gain when you’ve got 2 million people following you for your body goals.
