Let’s talk hormones… Hormones control everything from your mood to your energy levels.
The truth is, your menstrual cycle isn’t just about your period. It’s a month-long rhythm of hormonal changes that impact how you feel, think, and move through the world. The more you understand about your cycle, the more you can work with your body rather than feeling like you’re constantly fighting against it.
That’s why we’re teaming up with the period tracking app Moody, so you can get to know your hormones on a deeper level. Let’s break it down. 🩵
Your Hormones, Your Cycle
You may already know that your cycle has four phases, and each one brings different shifts in energy, mood, and even cravings.
🌱 Follicular Phase (Day 1-14ish) – Fresh Start Energy
This phase kicks off with your period and runs until ovulation. Oestrogen starts rising, bringing a natural energy boost. You might feel more social, motivated, and ready to take on the world. This is a great time to try new workouts, start projects, or schedule important meetings.
🌸 Ovulation (Mid-Cycle, Around Day 14) – Peak Power
Oestrogen is at its highest, and you’re likely feeling confident and full of life. This is your body’s most fertile phase. You might also feel extra social and more outgoing than usual.
🌙 Luteal Phase (Days 15-28ish) – Cosy & Introspective
After ovulation, progesterone rises, and things start slowing down. This is the phase where PMS can be at it’s worst – mood swings, bloating, and cravings. But instead of fighting it, lean into self-care. Think warm teas, gentle movement, and extra rest.
🔴 Menstrual Phase (Your Period) – Rest & Reset
Your hormones drop, and your body is shedding its uterine lining. This is a natural time to go inward. If you feel like curling up with a blanket and saying no to social plans, that’s your body’s way of asking for rest. Give yourself grace, sip on some nourishing tea, and honour this phase.
Why Period Tracking is a Game-Changer
Ever felt like one week you’re on fire, and the next, you just want to nap? That’s your hormones at play. Period tracking helps you identify these patterns so you can plan your life around them—rather than being blindsided by unexpected mood swings or energy dips.
With Moody, you can log your symptoms, moods, and cycle phases, so you start noticing trends and working with your natural rhythm. Knowing when to push and when to rest? That’s real self-care. Moody can also offer insights on how you may feel or symptoms you may experience based on where you are in your cycle.
