Your cycle is your superpower.

Your Menstrual Cycle

The Fifth Vital Sign

Recognized as her fifth vital sign, a woman’s menstrual cycle is an indicator of overall health and vitality. To acknowledge this hormonal arc is to honor her divine nature and innate physical wisdom. Cultural conditioning pressures women to power through periods, but there’s a better way. When we choose to leverage our cyclical nature—instead of perpetually overriding it—we can optimize everything from the food we eat to the movement we enjoy to not only feel good, but to show up the way we want to in the world.

The female hormone cycle doesn’t have to be a burden—it can be a superpower. 

  • It’s time to shift the 24-hour paradigm for menstruating women.

    In menstruating women, hormonal fluctuations do not adhere to the 24-hour cycle alone—there is a greater infradian rhythm at play that moves through us in a monthly cycle. This infradian rhythm is a hormonal advantage when we flow with and not against it.

Your rhythm is unique.
