Hormone Cycle Series: Luteal Phase
The luteal phase is the longest phase of the menstrual cycle and it arguably has the most highs and lows of emotion, hunger, and energy levels. Since it occurs right after ovulation, you may still feel ovulation’s high energy and increased confidence, but the latter half of the luteal phase involves the dreaded premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and its symptoms.
Hormone Cycle Series: Ovulation
Now that we have covered the uniqueness of both the menstrual and the follicular phases, the next phase up is ovulation! For many women who track their cycle and know what phase they are in, ovulation is generally viewed as the favorite.

The follicular phase is about growth–not just mentally with heightened creativity, physically with an increase in energy and mood, but internally as the body prepares to release an egg. It is our body’s internal spring and there are multiple ways we can support our mind and body through our food choices, movement, and intention setting.
