My guest today is a renowned neuroscientist and women's health expert whose work has been featured on stages and in media around the world. Kayla Osterhoff studies the interaction between the brain, the mind, and physiology – how and why we work the way we do.
She’s brilliant – flat out, and graciously leads my male point of view toward a new level of understanding of the opposite sex, bringing another expert perspective on women’s biohacking and hormone health, both much-requested topics by listeners of the show.
Specifically, she’s cracked the code on how women can leverage their 28-day menstrual cycle to accentuate what the body provides, and does not provide, during four distinct phases of the cycle. It’s all about being fully attuned with your body, listening to it, and following your intuition to wield proven feminine superpowers that you won’t find in any textbook.
Our deep dive certainly does not end there, as we also unpack the gender gap in health science research, evolutionary elements of fertility, and how women are, and always have been, natural stewards of their community.
04:34 — What’s the Difference Between the Mind & the Brain?
09:02 — The Gender Gap in Health Science Research
14:13 — The Different Cycles of Men & Women
16:13 — Understanding the 4 Different Phases
54:57 — 3 Important Teachers or Teachings

0:29.8 | And 99% of women, it doesn't go beyond that, they're knowledge, because we've never been taught. |
0:35.2 | And sadly enough, I've gone all the way through my doctoral studies and not once have I ever taken one course on feminine biology to understand the differences between men and women. |
0:49.2 | I was stunned when I finally pulled together what I could from the published research and mapped it all out. |
0:57.4 | And I was like, oh my God, this is the user's manual for feminine biology that we were never given. Why? Why were we never given this? |

1:21.0 | You will find complete show notes, links, and written transcripts for this one at LukeStory.com slash Kayla. That's K-A-Y-L-A. |
1:29.1 | Our guest today is a neuroscientist and women's health science expert whose work has been featured on stages and media around the world. |
1:36.5 | Formerly trained across the health sciences with degrees in health ecology, public health, epidemiology, and neuropsychophysiology, |
1:44.5 | Kayla has developed a truly holistic understanding of health and how to achieve resilience of the mind and body. |
1:50.8 | I got to say the knowledge she presents here is vast and she also presents it in a way that's very down to earth and practical, |
1:57.7 | which is what I always seek to achieve when delivering guests to you on the show. |
2:02.7 | This information is indispensable for women in my opinion, but listen, if you're a man and want to gain a deeper understanding of how to relate to and support the women in your life, |
2:11.4 | this is a must listen for you too. I personally gained so much insight from this episode and it has definitely made me a better husband, |
2:18.6 | employer, friend, and son to the women in my life. Here's a quick example of some of the topics we cover in this episode. |
2:24.8 | Kayla's family history that inspired her to focus on women's neuropsychophysiology, the staggering underrepresentation of female subjects in clinical research, |
2:34.0 | modern society shortcomings when it comes to women's natural cycles, how women can stop burning themselves out, |
2:40.0 | and the indigenous practice of tribal women coming together to accomplish particular goals at certain times of their synched cycles. |
2:46.8 | Kayla also breaks down the four different phases that women cycle through monthly and how gaining and understanding of these cycles can dramatically improve your life, |
2:55.4 | strategizing your work schedule to be as effective as possible. |
2:59.2 | Kayla's recommendations for practical cycle tracking, how you can use this knowledge to support any woman in your life, |
3:05.6 | and why this information really is the ultimate life hack for women. |
