Understanding Women’s Hormonal Cycles
Women experience a complex monthly cycle driven by three primary hormones: estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. The front half of the cycle, particularly from day one to day ten, is dominated by estrogen, which promotes energy, mood enhancement, and receptiveness to fasting. Estrogen's peak during ovulation then brings increased testosterone, heightening motivation and creativity. In contrast, the latter half of the cycle sees the ascendancy of progesterone, which requires higher glucose levels, often leading to cravings for carbs as the cycle approaches menstruation.
