✨ Energy isn’t random — it’s cyclical.
Many of us have experienced that mid-cycle surge of productivity — and the very real slump that can follow. But these aren’t just feelings; they reflect the biology of the menstrual cycle.
💡 In my latest blog, I break down how hormone-driven changes across the cycle can influence energy, focus, mood and metabolic balance — and most importantly, what you can do about it.
➡️ From the low energy of early menstruation, to the peak performance window around ovulation, to the gradual energy dip in the luteal phase, there are practical patterns we can respect and support with nutrition and lifestyle choices.
📉 For many women:
Energy can be lowest during menstruation due to low hormone levels, blood loss and sleep disruption.
Rising oestrogen in the follicular phase often boosts mood and motivation.
Progesterone-dominance in the luteal phase can contribute to pre-period fatigue.
But this doesn’t mean we’re at the mercy of our hormones. The right strategies — from iron-rich meals to blood sugar balance and targeted recovery — can make a genuine difference in how we feel and perform across the month.
