The following recommendations are based on the most up-to-date research available today. However, they do not replace medical advice and may not work the same for everyone. These guidelines are intended as a starting point for cycle-syncing if you choose to explore it.

Cognitive

A study called “The Impact of Menstrual Cycle Phase on Economic Choice and Rationality” (Lazzarro et al., 2016) suggests that women's economic and social behaviours change significantly around ovulation. During ovulation, women are less loss-averse, meaning they are more willing to tolerate potential financial losses and may exhibit more risk-taking behaviours. These findings suggest the ovulation phase might be a good time to engage in activities that involve risk-taking and economic decision-making due to a decreased loss aversion, potentially maximising opportunities for economic gain.

More generally, It’s also a good time to tackle activities that require strong communication skills. Scheduling important meetings, presentations, or any public speaking engagements during this phase can be beneficial, as you are likely to be more articulate and persuasive.

Physical

The surge in energy that accompanies ovulation can be ideal for capitalising on physical activities. High-intensity workouts can be more effective during this time due to increased endurance and strength.

Nutrition

To support the heightened physical and cognitive activity, incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids and healthy fats like fish, nuts and avocados can be beneficial. These nutrients support hormone balance and brain health, enhancing cognitive functions and mood stability.

Emotional

Explore deeper social interactions and new experiences to make the most of your enhanced emotional connectivity. This phase also provides an opportunity to express more empathy and understanding towards partners or close friends, potentially deepening bonds and improving communication in personal relationships.
