Reclaiming Femininity: What Is Cycle Syncing?

-

 

For the last several months I have been on a journey to better overall health and wellness. One area of my health that I honestly never took quite as seriously was that of my feminine health, I figured that as long as I saw my gynecologist for my annual visits and tests were normal than that was all I needed to do.

However, there is much more to feminine health than just a normal pap smear and while this is something you may already know, this was news to me. So that brings me to the purpose of this post. I have been learning more about my menstrual cycle and the various phases so that I can better understand what is actually happening to my body, why I feel the way I feel at various times throughout the month and how to better support these changes within my body for a better experience. One method that I have been using is that of cycle syncing and as I am not a medical professional I will provide the definition courtesy of Healthline.com.

“Cycle syncing is when you change lifestyle habits like your diet or exercise routine to match the phases of your menstrual cycle. By doing this, you may become more in-tune with your hormonal needs and better manage your cycle.”

Cycle syncing has helped me understand the hormonal changes our bodies go through as women and that understanding as helped me no longer dread my period and the changes my body experiences as well as alter my habits to improve my health by supporting my bodies needs throughout the phases of my cycle. I use a period tracker and follow the flow of my cycle from phase to phase supporting my hormonal changes with diet and exercise. Making these changes along with a few others we will discuss in future posts have transformed my monthly periods for the better.


I’ve created an infographic that lists the four phases of the Menstrual cycle as well as what to expect during each, how to eat and how to exercise. I hope that you find this all in one resource helpful and please leave any comments or questions you may have. 

Thanks,

Chloe

New Series: Reclaiming Femininity

-
   Reclaiming Femininity I’m starting a new series on the blog with content that will be more female focused. I will continue to post faith based content as well. I plan to continue our Bible Study Series in the new year, the format will change a bit as these lessons will be shorter and come in both video and written form. As for Reclaiming Femininity, this content will be both physical and spiritual in nature. This series aims to bridge the gap between the modern world we live in while reconnecting with traditional values and biblical womanhood. The first post will go live Nov 21, 23. Thanks, Chloe

Week 11: Fruits Of The Spirit

  Week 11: The Fruit of the Spirit In our previous study we discussed who and what is the Holy Spirit and a few of the manifestations of the power of the Holy Spirit within our lives.   We briefly touched on the fruit of the spirit as evidence of the Holy Spirits presence in our lives, lets dive a bit deeper. Let’s actually begin by looking at what the absence of the Holy Spirit in a person’s life and what that would look like. In Galatians 5:19-21 Paul characterizes our sinful nature void of The Spirit, “ Now the practices of the sinful nature are clearly evident: they are sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality (total irresponsibility, lack of self-control), 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions [that promote heresies], 21 envy, drunkenness, riotous behavior, and other things like these. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Al...
