Working with your cycle, not against it

Your body isn't the same every day of the month — and that's exactly how it's supposed to be. Learning to work with your cycle instead of against it is one of the simplest, most powerful shifts you can make for your energy, mood and wellbeing.

The four phases, briefly

Your menstrual cycle moves through four phases, each with its own hormonal rhythm:

• Menstrual (days 1–5): hormones are at their lowest — rest is productive.
• Follicular (days 6–14): oestrogen rises, and energy, focus and motivation climb with it.
• Ovulatory (around day 14): your peak — confident, social and strong.
• Luteal (days 15–28): progesterone rises, then falls — this is where PMS can show up.

How to move with each phase

Rest without guilt

During your period, gentle movement and earlier nights do far more than pushing through ever will. Support the wind-down with magnesium and calming botanicals in the evening.

Ride the follicular wave

As oestrogen rises, so does your capacity for harder training, big projects and new plans. This is the time to start things.

Soften the luteal dip

In the second half, cravings, bloating and mood swings are common. Keep blood sugar steady, prioritise protein and fibre, and give your hormones gentle, consistent support.
