Insights from Chapter 1

#1

In chapters 4, 5, and 6, you’ll learn how to apply the Cycle Syncing Method around diet, fitness, and time management. This is where biohacking meets self-care. You’ll learn how to use food to support your hormones during each phase of your cycle, reveal the secrets to getting better results with less sweat, and introduce you to planning tools that will help you achieve more with less effort.

#2

The four-part blueprint that your female body follows is not being properly addressed by conventional health care services. We need to get back into sync with this blueprint, and then we can pursue the life we’re meant to live as women.

#3

I loved my eighth-grade biology class. I was extremely excited to learn about human reproduction, and I was ready to read about it. I was expecting a great day.

#4

I was shocked by the tone of the textbook, which was extremely lighthearted and glossed over the major aspects of the process. I was also disappointed by the lack of positive information about sperm production.

#5

The fact that girls and boys are not taught about the female reproductive process is tragic and just wrong. It’s eye-opening to realize that the education we receive about our bodies, from how it’s described in textbooks to how it’s handled in the medical community, supports and deepens female oppression.

#6

The premenstrual phase can be a time of insight, clarity, and direction. It can fill you with a can-do, get-it-done attitude and a desire to clean house. When you’re conditioned to believe that pain and problems are par for the course, you’re prevented from looking for solutions.

#7

The truth is that you don’t have to suffer from period pain. Your body produces two types of prostaglandins that ease period pain: PgE1 and PgE3. When you consume the right foods for your cycle, you provide the building blocks your body needs to produce these good prostaglandins.

#8

The truth is that what you experience when you’re on the pill is not a real period. It’s a withdrawal bleed that bears no resemblance to the natural period that comes at the end of your monthly hormonal cycle.

#9

The idea that we don’t need periods anymore is false. Periods are critical to our health and well-being, and tampering with that system by intentionally skipping your period comes with serious side effects and health dangers.

#10

You can take action to promote faster healing and get rid of your period pain. Just as you wouldn’t let your cold linger unnecessarily, you don’t have to put up with problem periods.

#11

Women are inherently abundant. We can make multiple babies, we bleed every month, we produce milk, and we even secrete vaginal bacteria that’s vital for a baby’s optimal gut health.

#12

We have been living in a man’s world, and this reality is bound to change. Our cultural values prioritize masculine energy of individuality and linear progression at the expense of all else, which is reflected in the breakdown of our communities and the disregard for the health of our planet.

#13

The way we live our lives is based on a cycle of testosterone and cortisol levels that lines up with a typical male hormonal rhythm. However, women’s bodies don’t work this way. Their energy is not static day to day and week to week.

#14

The medical community is not taking women’s health issues seriously, and instead telling them that their symptoms are all in their heads.

#15

Women have been historically underrepresented in all health, drug, and biological research. The reason for this is that men are preferred research subjects, and birth defects from the drug thalidomide in the 1960s resulted in the FDA banning women of childbearing age from participating in clinical research.

#16

The lack of understanding of women’s health issues can feel isolating. We don’t talk enough about the epidemic of women’s chronic hormonal problems, and the one-size-fits-all health care, fitness, and life management advice we’re getting doesn’t fit all.

#17

I struggled with a hormonal condition for a decade, and my journey changed my career and life. I was the president and founder of the Period Club in junior high school, but I was the last one in the club to start my period.

#18

I began exploring the endocrine system, epigenetics, circadian patterns of the body and hormones, and the five-phase theory from Chinese medicine. I found that these concepts encouraged me to experiment and create a revolutionary new way of eating that eventually put my symptoms and condition into remission.

#19

The key to optimal living for women is to honor their cyclical nature. This means getting in tune with your cycle and understanding how your body works. It can boost every area of your life.

#20

Living in harmony with your nature makes you healthier, happier, and symptom-free, and allows you to pursue your creative and career passions more successfully and sustainably. Syncing with your cycle is the ultimate biohack for women's health and success.

#21

Biohacking, in the wellness community, is using devices, supplements, food, and lifestyle modifications to change the performance of a normally functioning body system with the aim of enhancing physical performance and achievement in other areas of your life.

#22

We need to have the conversation about our female biochemistry, not the one we got in our inadequate sex education classes. We need to find the joy in our cycles and use it to heal our symptoms and live our best lives.

#23

The have-do-be concept is the belief that once you’ve acquired a goal, you’ll do all the things you want to do. However, the truth is that the process works in the opposite direction. While you may understand this concept intellectually, it’s a whole other thing to actually live it.

#24

The menstrual cycle is an infradian rhythm, a cycle longer than a day. There are also ultradian rhythms that refer to cycles shorter than a day, like REM cycles and growth hormone cycles.

#25

Our bodies have a circadian rhythm that regulates our daily bodily processes, including digestion, body temperature, metabolism, sleep, elimination, and the production of certain hormones. This circadian clock is what keeps us in sync with the world around us.

#26

Our daily timekeeper, which is the circadian rhythm, is extremely important to our health and well-being. We have to biohack our lives to avoid anything that disrupts our 24-hour clock.

#27

As a woman, you are blessed with a second clock that impacts your life for approximately forty years. It is tied to your monthly menstrual cycle, which includes four distinct phases.

#28

Your two clocks are tightly linked. Any disturbance in your 24-hour clock can disrupt your 28-day cycle, leading to problems such as irregular periods and longer menstrual cycles. To take advantage of your cyclical nature, you must learn about your second clock and then nurture it with phase-specific self-care.

#29

When you have two biological clocks, you must rethink your relationship with time and time management. You must learn to balance career, family, friends, volunteer work, workouts, and self-care. The secret is to timing your life with your second clock in mind rather than simply adhering to the 24-hour clock.

#30

Cycle syncing is about including your female reality in the choices you make, reclaiming your sovereignty, and increasing your enjoyment and well-being. It requires you to make choices about what works for you and what doesn’t.

#31

The secret to understanding your cycle and using it to your advantage is to tune in to it. This will allow you to achieve more of what you want and enjoy the process along the way.

#32

The secret to more is actually doing less. It may seem treasonous at first, but the more-is-better philosophy is based on a false notion of scarcity that’s rooted in our culture. The truth is, you have too much time if you’re ignoring your second clock.

#33

When you’re dealing with painful periods, headaches, and PMS, it’s much harder to succeed in the male-patterned world of productivity. You begin to think you’re not good at time management. But when you adopt a right-timing approach, you can stop trying to master time and instead think about managing your energy.

#34

Right-timing means that everything has an ideal moment. You are meant to live your life in rhythm with the cycle of creation, from seed to growth to harvest to rest. But our culture demands perpetual growth and harvest.

#35

The cult of busyness is having a negative impact on our health and well-being. We’re all becoming over-scheduled, and this leaves no time for restorative, relaxing activities.

#36

The same way you may want to cut some tasks from your schedule, you may want to rethink your concept of success and productivity. Does productivity equal success. If you have to give up all the things you love in order to rise up the corporate ladder or reach a goal, is it really a win.

#37

One of the things that blocks your ability to access the gifts of your second clock is the expectation that you should be a static creature. You are not. You are a dynamic being who experiences emotional energy levels that expand and retract throughout your cycle.
