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. 

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. From unbeatable energy to glowing skin, menstruating women tend to thrive during this time. 

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. 

Menstruating women know firsthand how periods can affect mood, appetite, energy levels, and body temperature, but have you wondered what is actually going on inside the body? Periods are vital markers of health, and our bodies invite us to tune in through diet, exercise, and lifestyle.

Let’s start at the beginning with the menstrual phase!

Each phase of the hormonal cycle offers an opportunity to align our nutrition, movement, and lifestyle with our body's natural rhythms. By supporting our cycle, we cultivate balance and well-being from the inside out!
