Even if you know a ton about hormones and cycles, sometimes life gives you a little practical application work to do. Earlier this year I had a series of irregular cycles and hope is that you can learn from what I did to navigate them and give my body the support it was asking for.

I focused on:
- Moderate exercise
- Avoiding alcohol/caffeine
- Tracking symptoms carefully
- Removing unnecessary to-dos from my calendar
- Nourishing through adequate food + sleep

I also tried out incorporating:
- Maca powder
- Cryotherapy and red light therapy
- Melatonin
