However, what she fails to realize is that by neglecting her own natural chemistry, she is actively working against the powerful advantages she withholds. If she were able to understand the bountiful rewards of her own female hormone cycle, she might be able to achieve even more than she already has, at marginally lower stress rates. Here is how you, the modern woman, can <strong>use your hormone cycle to your advantage<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-understanding-your-cycle\"><strong><em>Understanding Your Cycle<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most everyone has heard of the menstrual cycle, but what does that actually entail? As a woman, we follow both a circadian, as well as an infradian rhythm, while men follow only the circadian. This is because their hormones fluctuate predictably along a 24-hour cycle called a circadian rhythm. Women, conversely, follow a larger 28-day infradian cycle in addition to the same circadian cycle. This 4-stage infradian cycle is what we more affectionately call <em>the menstrual cycle<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-four-stages-of-the-female-hormone-cycle\"><strong>The Four Stages of The Female Hormone Cycle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-menstruation\"><strong>Menstruation\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although we call it the &#8220;menstrual cycle&#8221;, menstruation is only one of the four hormone stages. The menstrual stage is stage one. In these first 3-7 days, women of reproductive age undergo their monthly bleeding. However, women outside this life stage likewise experience a decline of the progesterone hormone responsible for the uterine lining shed. As progesterone drops, so does energy. Therefore, menstruation is the lowest energy stage of the female hormone cycle.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-follicular\"><strong>Follicular <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After menstruation, the follicular stage takes force. Energy is likely to rise throughout these 11-17 days as estrogen and testosterone peak. The subsequent boost in energy is sure to raise your mood and sex drive and may suppress your appetite. These effects last until the follicular phase gives way to the following ovulatory phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ovulatory\"><strong>Ovulatory<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The well-known ovulation stage is a period of time wherein the follicle of the ovary releases an egg. The egg itself survives for about 12-24 hours, making ovulation the shortest cycle stage. Estrogen and testosterone hit their highest levels, making ovulation a stage characterized by confidence and a high sex drive.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-luteal\"><strong>Luteal <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last week or so of your cycle is the luteal phase. At the start, feelings are very similar to those of the ovulation phase, yet slowly morph into a lessened state of estrogen and testosterone. As these hormones fall, progesterone, an anti-anxiety hormone, rises and creates a sense of slow living. Meant to provide a natural nesting instinct, this week is one designed for relaxation and self-care.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/guilty-pleasures\/casegoods\/euphoria-screen.php?utm_source=LH_Blog_Article&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=Banner_Article&amp;utm_content=euphoria-screen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ext-campaign\/article\/kk-euphoria-screen-1.jpg\" alt=\"euphoria screen koket luxury home decor\" width=\"500\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-optimize-each-stage-of-the-hormone-cycle\"><strong><em>How to Optimize Each Stage of The Hormone Cycle<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-red-week-of-menstruation\"><strong>The Red Week of Menstruation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Menstruation is a taxing time physically, so with that in mind, adjusting your life to <strong>optimize comfort<\/strong> is key.

This could be a great time to bring out a journal and reflect on the past month. Use menstruation as your personal alarm for<strong> a monthly reset<\/strong>. Certain low-impact exercises like walking and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/2018\/10\/02\/how-to-change-your-life-7-days-yoga\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">yoga<\/a> can serve as added times for reflection and connection to your physical self. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"399\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/yoga-dane-wetton-AkSJQnem75Y-unsplash-edited.jpg\" alt=\"female hormone cycle - woman doing yoga\" class=\"wp-image-78779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/yoga-dane-wetton-AkSJQnem75Y-unsplash-edited.jpg 710w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/yoga-dane-wetton-AkSJQnem75Y-unsplash-edited-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of diet, food is your tool.

Prioritizing <strong>magnesium <\/strong>to combat fatigue is another necessity, so break out the spinach and dark chocolate. In terms of sensation, <strong>warm and comforting foods<\/strong> can soothe you from the inside out, be it soups, cooked veggies, or rich starches.

In every aspect of life, this is the time to begin anew. A <strong>boost in energy means<\/strong> even more power to take charge of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/2021\/06\/08\/9-key-ways-to-improve-your-work-performance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">work life<\/a> and flourish in social settings.

To accommodate for the fluctuation of hormones in a way that makes life feel more like a stable ride than a bumpy one, now is the time to <strong>consider estrogen production<\/strong>. Foods like nuts, eggs, avocado, and fish are known for more quickly metabolizing estrogen and can stabilize its perceived effects in rising. After taking in some seriously<strong> nutrient-dense foods<\/strong> and absolutely nailing your latest meeting, <strong>head to the gym<\/strong> and max out on your favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealthmag.com\/uk\/fitness\/workouts\/a707801\/hiit-workout-at-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HIIT circuit<\/a>.
