Cycle 101

Cycle syncing, simplified.

2 min read

Most nutrition advice treats your body like it's the same every day. It's not. Your cycle has four phases — and each one is different.

Here's the simplest possible map.

Menstrual (days 1 – 7)

Hormones are at their lowest. Your body is doing real work.
Eat warm and grounding. Bone broth, lentils, dark greens, beets, a square of dark chocolate.

Follicular (days 7 – 14)

Energy climbs. You feel lighter.
Eat fresh and vibrant. Sprouted grains, citrus, herbs, fermented foods. Build momentum.

Ovulatory (days 14 – 17)

You're at your peak.
Eat colorful and antioxidant-rich. Berries, quinoa, salmon, broccoli, leafy greens.

Luteal (days 17 – 28)

Appetite increases. That's normal.
Eat magnesium, good fats, complex carbs. Avocado, fatty fish, sweet potatoes, dark chocolate, nuts.

Cycle syncing isn't a rigid rule. It's a way to stop fighting a body that's giving you signals.
