Syncing with Your Cycle: Creating Rhythms that Work with Your Hormones 🌙
Did you know that creating routines around your hormone cycle can actually make your life easier?
When you understand how your hormones naturally rise and fall throughout the month, you can design rhythms and routines that nourish your body — physically, mentally, and emotionally. It’s about working with your body’s design, not against it.
We’re not meant to run at full speed all the time. Some days we sprint, some days we jog, and some days… we rest. When you know where you are in your cycle, you can plan your workload, your workouts, and even your self-care in ways that bring more peace and productivity.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s happening inside your body each month and how you can align your routines with each phase.
🌺 The Four Phases of the Female Hormone Cycle
Your monthly cycle includes four unique phases — menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal.
Each lasts about a week, though every woman’s rhythm is slightly different.
Each lasts about a week, though every woman’s rhythm is slightly different.
These shifts in hormones impact not only your physical body but also your energy, emotions, mood, and focus. When we understand what’s happening, it’s easier to show ourselves grace and create habits that support our well-being instead of fighting our natural flow.
Phase 1: Menstrual (Days 1–7)
This phase begins on the first day of your period. Both estrogen and progesterone are at their lowest, which often means lower energy and a natural pull toward rest and reflection.
How to support yourself this week:
- Say no to big commitments and carve out quiet space to rest.
- Nourish your body with warm, grounding foods and hydration.
- Take Epsom salt baths with Lavender, Frankincense, or Dragon Time for relaxation.
- Diffuse Valor, Frankincense, or Bergamot while journaling or meditating.
- Skip strenuous workouts — gentle yoga, stretching, or a slow walk are ideal.
- Use Deep Relief or CBD Muscle Rub on tense muscles.
This is your “winter” week — a time for stillness, rest, and listening to what your body and heart need.
Phase 2: Follicular (Days 8–14)
As your body prepares for ovulation, estrogen and testosterone rise — bringing renewed energy, focus, and optimism. You might feel more social, creative, and productive.
How to support yourself this week:
- Dive into brainstorming, planning, and problem-solving.
- Schedule meetings, social events, or workouts that energize you.
- Diffuse Envision, Clarity, or Brain Power while working.
- Try resistance training or higher-intensity workouts if you feel up for it.
- Use Deep Relief or Peppermint pre- or post-workout to soothe muscles.
Think of this as your “spring” phase — fresh energy, growth, and creativity.
Phase 3: Ovulatory (Around Day 15–21)
Ovulation is the main event — the moment your body has been preparing for. Hormones peak, energy is high, and you might feel your best both emotionally and physically.
How to support yourself this week:
- Schedule big projects, social events, or interviews.
- Connect deeply with others (great week for quality time with your spouse or loved ones).
- Keep up your workouts and active routines, but continue caring for your body before and after exercise.
- Prioritize hydration and nutrient-rich foods.
This is your “summer” week — full of vitality and connection. Enjoy it!
Phase 4: Luteal (Days 22–28)
After ovulation, progesterone rises while estrogen and testosterone taper off. You might start feeling slower, more inward-focused, and even crave comfort foods or quiet time. PMS symptoms can appear as your body prepares for menstruation again.
How to support yourself this week:
- Tidy up, organize, and complete projects early in the week while energy is steady.
- As your body slows down, increase self-care: warm baths, rest, and hydration.
- Diffuse calming oils like Peace & Calming or Release.
- Take magnesium or Mineral Essence to ease tension and support relaxation.
- Opt for gentle movement — restorative yoga or a peaceful walk.
- If you notice PMS symptoms, support your body with supplements or gentle liver-supporting options like JuvaTone.
This is your “autumn” week — time to wind down, reflect, and prepare for another cycle of renewal.
Supporting Your Cycle All Month Long 🌿
Our hormones are designed to fluctuate, but many women today start from a place of imbalance — especially with progesterone. Small, consistent habits can make a big difference:
- Apply Progessence Plus daily throughout your cycle or up until Day 1.
- Use Dragon Time Massage Oil over the abdomen during your period and the days leading up to it.
- Drink NingXia Red with Mineral Essence daily for nutrient and antioxidant support.
- Prioritize sleep, hydration, and whole foods that keep your blood sugar steady.
These aren’t quick fixes — they’re gentle rhythms of self-care that build balance and awareness over time.
Final Thoughts 💛
Learning to live in sync with our hormone cycles is such a powerful (and often overlooked) part of women’s wellness. Even though I’m in a different season of life now, I’m continually amazed at how beautifully our bodies were designed — with rhythms and patterns meant to guide us, not frustrate us.
If you’re in a stage where you’re still cycling, I’d love to hear from you!

A Clinical, Comprehensive Approach to Women’s Hormone Health
Why Daily Hormone Essentials Is More Than Just a Feel-Good Product
When it comes to women’s hormone health, quick fixes and “feel-good” solutions often fall short. What’s needed is a scientifically grounded, clinically validated approach that supports balance at every stage of womanhood.
That’s where Daily Hormone Essentials stands out—a strategic supplement designed to reduce common hormone-related symptoms while promoting overall well-being without artificial hormone intervention.
The Foundation: A Patented Herbal Complex with Clinical Proof
Unlike many generic blends, Daily Hormone Essentials is built on patented herbal complexes tested in multi-center, large-sample clinical trials.
These studies show that the formula can:
- Reduce all 11 major perimenopausal symptoms identified by the Cooperman Index Score (a validated measurement tool for symptom severity).
- Significantly improve hormone-related discomforts such as mood swings, anxiety, fatigue, hot flashes, and sleep disturbances.
- Avoid increasing serum estrogen levels in participants—providing balance naturally, without pushing estrogen artificially.
- Deliver measurable relief without hormonal side effects often linked to HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), such as weight gain, blood pressure shifts, or metabolic disruption.
Why This Matters
Many women want symptom relief but either don’t qualify for—or don’t feel comfortable with—synthetic hormone therapy. Daily Hormone Essentials offers a non-hormonal, research-backed solution that delivers results without compromising safety.
Common Symptoms Daily Hormone Essentials Helps Address
If you’ve ever felt like your body is “working against you,” you’re not alone. Hormonal changes can bring a host of frustrating symptoms. Daily Hormone Essentials has been shown to ease:
- Mood swings
- Anxiety
- Fatigue
- Joint discomfort
- Vaginal dryness
- Vertigo
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Sleep disturbances
Chaste Tree Berry (Vitex agnus-castus): The Pituitary Whisperer
One of the star ingredients in Daily Hormone Essentials is Vitex, also known as Chaste Tree Berry—a botanical long celebrated for women’s health.
How It Works
Vitex targets the pituitary gland—your body’s master hormone control center. More specifically, it influences the dopaminergic tuberoinfundibular pathway (a big term for a powerful regulator of prolactin production).
Why does prolactin matter? Because elevated prolactin levels can:
- Disrupt ovulation
- Extend PMS duration
- Contribute to irritability, breast tenderness, and irregular cycles
By gently modulating prolactin via dopamine support, Vitex helps restore ovulatory balance, regulate cycles, and ease premenstrual discomfort.
Fun Fact: Vitex was an herb Gary Young wanted in women’s health products for years. It’s exciting to finally see it included in a Young Living hormone formula.
Final Thoughts
Women deserve hormone support that is safe, effective, and backed by science. Daily Hormone Essentials delivers a clinical, comprehensive approach to hormone health—helping women navigate PMS, perimenopause, and beyond with greater comfort and balance.
If you’ve been searching for a non-hormonal alternative to HRT that actually works, this might just be the solution you’ve been waiting for.
