Let’s be real. Joining this membership is not going to magically make all your obligations disappear while you’re on your period (although wouldn’t that be nice?!), but it WILL give you the tools and awareness to know how to best manage your life during any phase of your cycle. For example, if you’re set to be really active during a week where your body is naturally calling for rest, you’ll be guided to know what supplements and self-caring actions to take to get you through it without burning out. And funny enough, so many women report that things seem like they DO just magically appear or disappear during different phases, purely because they are living cyclically.

So it’s more than possible, it’s what we’re wired for as women. The way our society has been operating has been keeping us away from this kind of cyclical living, and the more we reclaim it, the more power and energy we have.

Women who cycle-sync report having more energy and vitality overall, as well as specific shifts in their body, relationships, and work life. On a physical level, you can expect to sleep better, have more sustained energy throughout the day, resolve PMS, and improve your weight, skin, hormones, and mood. Depending on your starting point, this can happen in one to six months.

We recognize that a good percentage of women are on the pill (or another hormonal contraceptive) for birth control or symptom-regulating purposes. If this is you, the short answer to the question is yes, it can still work for you, but here’s the longer answer. Being on the pill is not ideal for cycle-syncing, since hormonal contraceptives block the natural hormonal patterns in your system and therefore change up some of the natural energetic tendencies your body would have throughout the month.

However, following our recommended suggestions for the 4 phases of your cycle in conjunction with the pill can be wonderful for balancing out what the pill can throw off balance: i.e. overdrive tendencies, vitamin deficiency, and a general disconnect from your body and emotions. Cycle-syncing will be a process that gets your mind working in service of your body, and by living in a more cyclical pattern, you’ll find yourself blossoming in new and creative ways. And if you are thinking about getting off the pill at some point soon, cycle-syncing is a great way to train and prepare your body for that transition.

If you’re in the late stages of peri-menopause or have stopped menstruating, first of all, we love you! And we honor you, as we hope you honor yourself, in this different yet equally as powerful phase of your female life cycle. While cycle-syncing won’t technically work for you because your body is not operating in that monthly cycle, you can still reap the benefits of living in this way by following the cycle of the moon each month. Download a moon phase tracking app or calendar, and treat every New Moon as the first day of your period, and every Full Moon as the height of your ovulation phase. At one point in time, most women bled in conjunction with the moon every month! So this is a fantastic way to stay connected to cyclical rhythms.

Especially if you have a pre-existing hormonal health condition, it’s common for your cycle to be irregular. If this is the case, we definitely recommend talking to a FLO Coach and getting started on a healing protocol that will balance your hormones and regulate your cycle. While that’s in process, there’s still a lot you can do to cycle-sync and support your flow.

If your cycle is irregular to the point where you bleed less often than every 45 days, you might want to follow the recommendations listed for women who are no longer menstruating. This means, following along with the phases of the moon rather than your period. The reason being is that living cyclically on a regular monthly pattern can help your body and cycle to become more regular.

If your cycle is happening every 30-45 days, you can still follow the cycle-syncing recommendations, and you’d just extend the length of your follicular, ovulatory, and luteal phases by a few days each to accommodate the longer cycle. You mind find that the more you follow the protocol, the more regular your cycle becomes!

If you make your own schedule, you might get stuck in the patterns of feast or famine – having SO MUCH on your plate that you get overwhelmed, followed by periods where things feel slooooow and you’re not sure what to work on. You also might be trying to replicate a schedule that you adopted from a previous full time job, finding it difficult to motivate yourself in that way day after day.

Whatever the state of your self-employed, self-powered schedule, we got you! And cycle-syncing is truly your secret weapon to becoming more productive and having more energy than ever before. Cycle-syncing will give you a new structure within which to work – one that is aligned with your natural hormonal and energy patterns. This way, you won’t feel like you’re dragging your body along for the ride, or forcing yourself to do more when it’s really not working. Imagine knowing exactly what to work on at what point in the week, having your food and exercise plan already set, and following along with a daily planner that’s designed to match your natural flow.

Yes! The cycle-syncing system is designed to fit into your life – not disrupt it. You’ll be guided to spend a bit of time before the work week starts to prep yourself by planning your food and exercise strategy for the week so that you can just live your life and know what you’re eating and doing each day. Our daily themes throughout the week also help you stay focused on essential areas of your life that will keep you feeling balanced and centered in yourself. We’ve brought cycle-syncing trainings into corporate environments like Google and Hearst, Mara Hoffman and Sakara Life, and the women there have shared rave reviews about how it’s improved their own wellbeing as well as their productivity and performance at work.

Whatever diet you are following, you’ll be able to bring the best of that program with you! You’ll simply shift which foods you select each week and you may play with quantities during different phases. This program is about timing everything you’re eating with the cycle phase you’re in, and it’s NOT about a specific dietary theory. All are welcome!

Yes! In fact, if you are NOT cycle-syncing, you might be doing more damage than good with your workouts. Unlike common recommendations to do the same workout every day and every week, there are certain times throughout the month when pushing yourself to follow through with intense cardio can actually turn on fat storage because of the shift of hormones present. Getting to know the changing phases of your cycle throughout the month with ensure that you know exactly what kind of exercise will burn the most fat and keep you flowing with your fitness goals.
