Optimizing Menstrual Cycle Health
To optimize the menstrual cycle, it's crucial to monitor the color, consistency, and duration of the bleed monthly. The key is to aim for a four to seven-day bleed that is fresh, healthy red, clot-free, and pain-free. Monitoring these aspects provides insight into hormonal balance and overall cycle health. By following the flow protocol described in Women Code, individuals can promote endocrine function and work towards achieving an optimal menstrual cycle.
Significance of the Infradian Rhythm
Women have a second biological rhythm called the infradian rhythm, which influences major systems like the brain, metabolism, immune response, microbiome, and stress regulation. Unlike the circadian rhythm, the infradian rhythm operates on a monthly cycle affecting various hormonal concentrations. Understanding and aligning with this rhythm is essential for overall well-being and reducing hormonal imbalances and associated symptoms.
Aligning Lifestyle with Biology
Aligning daily activities, including nutrition, exercise, work tasks, and intimate relationships, with the infradian cycle can improve overall health and well-being. By adapting food choices, workout intensity, and productivity based on the specific hormonal phases, individuals can optimize energy levels, reduce stress, and support hormonal balance. This alignment allows for a more sustainable and efficient approach to self-care tailored to individual biological needs.
