Your cycle isn’t just your period — it’s a 28-ish day journey through four distinct hormonal phases. Learning about them can change the way you care for your body and mind.
1. Menstrual Phase (Days 1–5)
Your period. Estrogen and progesterone are low, and energy tends to be too. Rest, nourish, and reset.
What helps? Gentle movement, warm foods, magnesium, and letting yourself take it slow.
2. Follicular Phase (Days 6–13)
Estrogen begins to rise, your mood lifts, and your body starts to feel ready to take on more. It’s a great time for planning, creating, and building momentum.
What helps? Light cardio, leafy greens, fresh starts.
3. Ovulatory Phase (Days 14–16)
Energy peaks! You might feel more confident and social. Estrogen is at its highest and luteinizing hormone spikes to trigger ovulation.
What helps? HIIT workouts, bold decisions, skin care with exfoliation.
4. Luteal Phase (Days 17–28)
Progesterone rises and your energy begins to wane. PMS symptoms may show up here. Prioritize grounding, comfort, and gentle productivity.
What helps? Complex carbs, adaptogens, reducing screen time, cozy rituals.
At WMNkind, we help you sync your lifestyle, self-care, and shopping habits to your cycle — because when you understand your body, you can take better care of it.
xoxo, Ari
