This revolutionary biohacking tool isn’t a pill, supplement, or expensive gadget, but it’s making waves for women looking to regain control of their hormones and health during perimenopause. What is it? Simple: tracking and syncing with your infradian  rhythm. What’s the Infradian Rhythm? Most of us are familiar with the circadian rhythm, the 24-hour cycle that governs our sleep-wake patterns. But did you know that women have a second biological clock? The infradian rhythm is a 28-day cycle that controls more than just the menstrual cycle. It impacts energy levels, metabolism, brain function, mood, and even stress response. And here’s the kicker: most women don’t even know it exists. The infradian rhythm was first explored and named in the 1970s by resear...

Scientists wanted to understand how our genes influence health, aging, and disease. Today, the knowledge gained from this project could be very helpful for women going through perimenopause - the stage leading up to menopause when hormones begin to shift. Knowing more about your genes can help you personalise your health choices, especially during perimenopause. But there’s more to the story than just our genes. We also have what scientists call a "second genome" - the microbiome. The microbiome is made up of trillions of tiny organisms (bacteria, viruses, and fungi) living mostly in our gut. These microorganisms play a huge role in how we digest food, fight off illness, and even regulate hormones. Understanding both your human g...

You’d think the hunger pangs would be unbearable, but what if I told you it’s not as bad as you might expect - especially if you’re on Day 3 of your cycle, like I was? Let me share why fasting during this particular phase of your menstrual cycle can actually be beneficial. During the first few days of your period, hormones like estrogen are lower, which means your body is much more capable of handling fasting without the major cravings, energy crashes, or irritability that often come with fasting at other times of the month . And that’s not all. By fasting during this phase, you’re giving your metabolism a chance to reset and support better hormone balance . This could lead to increased energy levels, reduced bloating, and improved overall well-being. It’s like a mini reset for your body, which helps you tackle the rest of your cycle with less hormonal chaos. While grocery shopping hungry isn’t usually recommended, f...
