OVULATORY PHASE Cycle Syncing Guide
What is cycle syncing?
Cycle syncing is making diet & lifestyle choices to support the monthly female hormone cycle.
OVULATORY PHASE
DAYS: 15-17
BODY'S MESSAGE: "Likely to become pregnant."
FOCUS: magnetic phase
ENERGY: highest, outgoing + confident
The ovulatory phase is the window of your monthly cycle when you are most likely to conceive.
PHYSIOLOGY: ovary releases an egg, cervical mucus is slippery, + libido is high
HORMONES: LH + FSH trigger your ovary to release an egg, testosterone peaks + drives desire (how do they change throughout the month?)
WORK: communicate + collaborate
MOVE: highest intensity + stamina (intervals, running, cycling, sprinting)
NUTRITION: fruits + veggies high in fiber + antioxidants (cruciferous vegetables support healthy estrogen detoxification)
