That’s right, your Jan period starts now!

Swipe through to get the scoop on why + what to do now.

Comment “Jan” for your first step. ✍️

What you do in Nov and Dec have a direct impact on your menstrual cycle.

And often it seems…

JANUARY = WORST PERIODS OF THE YEAR.⁠
⁠
If the crazy holiday season proves anything, it’s that your period is not just some random thing that your body does every month. It’s actually influenced by so much!⁠
⁠
So many stressors come up during the holiday season: ⁠
⁠
⚠️ Holiday parties (aka going out when you and your body don’t have the energy) ⁠
⚠️ Alcohol ⁠
⚠️ All the sweet treats ⁠
⚠️ Family drama⁠
⚠️ Travel (sitting for long hours, changing time zones) ⁠
⁠
And more. ⁠
⁠
All this can be a recipe for disaster for your HPA Axis (hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis), cortisol levels and blood sugar balance. ⁠
⁠
All things which directly impact your cycle. ⁠
⁠
Your period will show what’s going on / when she’s not a happy camper.

You’ve probably heard this lately: “Men run on a 24-hour cycle, women run on a 28-day cycle.”

But… what’s the science behind that? Swipe through to find out.

The truth is: your body doesn’t run on just one clock. It runs on many.

In fact, we all have multiple internal and external rhythms that shape everything from our mood, to our hormones, to our energy, to our sleep.

Here’s a breakdown of six major biological clocks your body is syncing with every day:

🕑 Ultradian Rhythms
These cycles repeat multiple times per day - longer than an hour, shorter than a day.
One example is 90-minute cortisol pulses that affect energy, focus, and stress response.

🌅 Circadian Rhythm
Your master 24-hour clock regulating sleep, hormone release, body temperature, digestion, and more.
Fun fact: women tend to secrete melatonin earlier than men, which affects sleep timing.

📅 Infradian Rhythms
These last longer than 24 hours.
The most famous and impactful one? The menstrual cycle!
Men do also have infradian rhythms, like subtle ~4-day fluctuations in testosterone.

🌕 Circalunar Rhythms
A ~29.5-day rhythm tied to the moon cycle.
Common in marine life. Some female humans experience this but it’s less common today because of modern light exposure. Not something you need to aspire to sync with.

🌱 Seasonal Rhythms
Yearly patterns driven by shifts in light and temperature.
These affect mood, hormones, sleep, and even our habits.
Fun fact: The four phases of the menstrual cycle mirror seasonal patterns, too.

📆 Circannual Rhythms
Your internal year-long clock—shaped by the seasons and environmental cues.

So yes, the 24-hour vs. 28-day idea definitely has some truth…

But your biology is far more layered, dynamic, and beautifully complex.

Multiple clocks - all working together - shape how you feel throughout the day, month, and year.

Is this as fascinating to you as it is to me?

Your circadian rhythm (aka your sleep-wake cycle) runs the show + has more of an impact on your hormones than you might realize. 🌞🌙

It’s governed by a master clock in the hypothalamus called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN).

This clock controls everything from wakefulness and sleep to hunger cues, growth-hormone release, metabolism, body temperature, and even how well your hormones sync.

The biggest cue that sets this clock? LIGHT.

Sunlight, moonlight, and yes… the endless blue-light glow of our screens.

But here’s the part most people don’t realize:

Your circadian rhythm is one of the biggest regulators of your entire hormone system.

It influences cortisol, insulin, thyroid hormones, appetite hormones, reproductive hormones… truly everything. 🤯

When your sleep–wake cycle is aligned, your hormones have structure, rhythm, and predictability.
When it’s disrupted (hello, late-night scrolling + inconsistent sleep), hormone regulation becomes so much harder for your body to pull off.

And because so many hormones follow circadian patterns-
✨ cortisol rising in the morning
✨ melatonin peaking at night
✨ growth hormone released during deep sleep
✨ reproductive hormones fluctuating across the cycle

… quality sleep becomes one of the most foundational hormone-balancing tools you have.

So if you’ve been wondering why your energy, mood, metabolism, or cycles feel “off,” it’s worth asking:

"Is my circadian rhythm actually supported?"

Because when your sleep is solid, your hormones finally have the environment they need to function the way they’re meant to.

Your circadian rhythm isn’t just about sleep, it’s the backbone of healthy hormones. 🧠🌙

New study alert ⭐️

Iodine might do more than support your thyroid. It could also play a role in egg quality and ovarian function. 🥚

Please note: this was a small pilot study of 10 women who were undergoing two cycles of ovarian stimulation.

Researchers recently looked at these women with diminished ovarian reserve.

Here’s what they found 👇🏽

After two months of daily iodine supplementation (150 mcg), participants showed:
✔ Improved iodine status (from borderline to optimal levels)
✔ Increased number of mature (metaphase II) eggs
✔ Reduced cell death (apoptosis) in ovarian cells
✔ Increased cell viability and proliferation markers

In other words, iodine may help create a healthier environment for egg development.

While this was an experimental study, this is important because iodine deficiency affects nearly 2 billion people worldwide, and many women of reproductive age fall into the “borderline low” range.

So if you’ve been told you have low ovarian reserve or are trying to optimize fertility, it may be worth talking to your practitioner about your iodine levels and whether testing or supplementation could be right for you.

This is a big moment. ✨

The FDA has removed the black box warning on hormone replacement therapy products.

For more than 20 years, the conversation around hormone replacement therapy has been shaped by fear - largely due to the 2002 WHI study that linked HRT to increased breast cancer risk. But what’s often left out is that the study was deeply flawed:

👉🏽 The average participant was 63 (past the ideal window for hormone therapy)
👉🏽 Many had existing metabolic and cardiovascular risk
👉🏽 And the study looked at synthetic progestins, not bioidentical progesterone

Since then, newer and more accurate research has shown what women and practitioners have observed in practice for years:

For many women in perimenopause and early menopause, HRT can be safe, supportive, and LIFE-CHANGING. (It’s been so helpful for me in my peri journey, personally!)

However - and this is important - not all HRT is the same:

• Bioidentical estrogen + progesterone does behave differently than the synthetic versions
• Transdermal estrogen may carry lower risks than oral forms, e.g. one study showed there is lower risk of gallbladder disease with use of transdermal therapy than with oral therapy. ⁠PMID 18617493
• Bioidentical progesterone is *not* the same as progestin
• Women with certain family or personal histories (ex: breast cancer) still need a more individualized approach

And of course… taking hormones alone won’t fix everything!

Sleep, stress, nutrition, blood sugar, minerals, gut health, and nervous system support are still the foundation.

Hormones work best when the whole system is supported.

But this FDA decision matters. It’s a step toward ending decades of fear-based guidance that kept so many women from options that could actually help them feel like themselves again.

I’m curious - how do you feel about this update?
Have you tried HRT or wanted to, but felt blocked or dismissed?
What questions do you have now that this change has been made?

Are you 30-something with period problems? 🩸

News cycle symptoms presenting midway through this decade?

A decade of expectation and immense pressure (especially for women, and often self-impossed). Career, marriage, responsibilities adding up, babies, the fertility “hourglass is running out of sand”… it’s a lot.

You start to notice your cycles getting shorter (periods happening more frequently) or bleeding changes (heavier or lighter), PMS that seems next level or new symptoms like the debilitating insomnia that author Michelle Cyca describes in her article:
https://chatelaine.com/health/period-in-30s-perimenopause/

These shifts aren’t random. They’re part of your body’s menstrual life cycle.

Just as puberty changes everything in our teens, the 30s bring their own hormonal transition. This decade is often when hormonal resilience begins to wane a little, and modern life’s relentless pace pushes the stress response into overdrive.

For some, add on the physical demands of pregnancy & postpartum in the midst of all this, and it’s no wonder many women feel like they are suffering! 😣

Our biology was never designed for the level of stress, stimulation, and pressure we live under daily. That’s what I call the evolutionary mismatch: our bodies are still wired for a slower world.

💕 The good news? You’re *not* at the mercy of your hormones.

When you nourish yourself, manage stress intentionally, build muscle, sleep deeply, and create space for recovery, your body responds.

Hormones thrive on consistency and care, not punishment and perfection.
Your 30s can be a turning point… a reckoning, even.

A decade to reconnect with your cycle (honestly, it won’t let you ignore it any longer!), rebuild hormonal strength, and lay the foundation for smoother years ahead and the perimenopausal transition.

Your period is a messenger, not an enemy.

And learning its language is one of the most empowering things you can do for your long-term health.

The “how” of all this can be tricky, don’t I know it. The Fix Your Period Collective can help, and I’d love to support you (link in bio to check it out for free).

✨ Have you noticed your cycle changing in your 30s? What’s been the biggest shift for you?

06/11/2025

If you’re 47 don’t worry you’re not doomed. 😂

I’ve been saying this for years…Every positive change you make today, impacts your health tomorrow.

It’s never too early or too late to implement simple diet and lifestyle shifts to support your hormones.

Your brain and body will thank you later.
