Our hormones control our mood, energy levels, appe Our hormones control our mood, energy levels, appetite, sleep patterns, productivity, and many other functions. You are not crazy, ladies. We are just responding to our cycle. Get a better understanding, and you will be able to function more efficiently each month. Thanks, @daveymaher_fitness, for the breakdown. #Repost A woman’s 28-day menstrual cycle typically consists of several phases, each associated with various physical and emotional changes. Go follow @daveymaher_fitness for expert guidance if you’re a woman over 40 dealing with weight loss/ hormone challenges Not all women have exactly 28 days cycle. Here’s a breakdown of the typical menstrual cycle: 1. Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5): • Menstruation begins on the first day of the cycle. • Bleeding lasts for about 3-7 days. • Many women may experience cramps, fatigue, and mood swings during this phase. 2. Follicular Phase (Days 1-13): • Hormone levels begin to rise. • The ovaries prepare to release an egg (ovulation). • Energy levels increase, she’s more social, outgoing, best time to build muscle and appetite & hunger are under control. Best time to handle conflict in a relationship! 3. Ovulation Phase (Around Day 14): • The ovary releases an egg into the fallopian tube. • This is the most fertile time in the cycle. Her libido is at its peak. • Her estrogen & testosterone are at its highest. 4. Luteal Phase (Days 15-28): • Everything starts to reverse. Estrogen takes a hit & progesterone takes over, preparing the uterine lining for pregnancy. • Some women may experience premenstrual symptoms (PMS) & (PMDD)symptoms like breast tenderness, bloating, irritability, cramps and severe mood swings. She’s at her heaviest & fatigued. If she asks you to buy a purse it’s probably the best time to say yes! 👛 • If pregnancy doesn’t occur, hormone levels drop, leading to the start of a new menstrual cycle.
