Kayla is formally trained across the health sciences with a Bachelor of Science in Health Ecology, a Master of Science in Public Health & Epidemiology, and currently pursuing her doctoral degree in the field of Neuropsychophysiology. Her unique background and expertise across the spectrum of health sciences led her to develop a truly holistic understanding and approach for health optimization, peak performance, and resilience of the mind and body.

My guest today is a 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.

If you want to learn all about how to create a lifestyle that aligns with your biorhythm and promotes the benefits of it, check out Kayla’s Biorhythm Mastermind here.

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.
