Infradian Rhythm 101

Women in their reproductive years have a SECOND biological rhythm called the Infradian rhythm.

Men, children, and post-menopausal women have 1 biological rhythm called the Circadian rhythm.

Because we haven't had the proper vocabulary to describe this second body clock, we have been left feeling like we're just crazy, it's all in our heads, and it's problematic.

Men follow the 24-hour circadian rhythm very closely and this is also what most of Western society is based on. This is why all the self-care rituals, diets, exercise routines, and productivity hacks can be such a struggle to stick to as a woman and why it leaves so many feeling like they've in some way failed.

You have burnout and hormonal issues because you're trying to stick to a lifestyle that is fundamentally disrupting your infradian biological rhythm.

This Infradian rhythm affects 6 key systems in your body: the brain, metabolism, immune system, microbiome, stress response system, and reproductive system.

It's way more than just your period - you are literally not the same person week after week. But it's not unpredictable changes, it's dynamic nature that can be predictable and measured and incredibly supportive.

Your brain chemistry changes over 25% over the course of the month - this gives you different gifts of cognitive focus at different times!

If you know how to work this incredible operating system that nature has given you, you can tap into abundant creativity, efficiency, attention to detail, and so much more.
