Look, I know you know this... but sometimes we all need a reminder. Your cycle is more than just your period, girlie.
Let’s break down the four phases of the menstrual cycle -and why they all matter when it comes to your energy, mood, and metabolism:
🩸 Menstrual (Days 1–5/6/7) – Your body is shedding the uterine lining. You may feel lower energy, so it's a good time to rest, reflect, and nourish well.
🌱 Follicular (Days 1–12) – Estrogen rises prior to ovulation, and so does your energy and motivation. It’s a great time for creativity, planning, and trying new things.
🌕 Ovulatory (Days 12-16, ovulation around day 14) – Estrogen peaks, and you may feel your most social, confident, and magnetic. This is your fertile window.
🌙 Luteal (Days 16–28) – Progesterone rises, and your body starts preparing for either pregnancy or your next period. You may need more rest, grounding meals, and slower movement.
Knowing your cycle gives you insight into your whole health - not just fertility. Ready to work with your hormones instead of against them?
