Cycle Syncing 101: Eat, Train, and Thrive With Your Hormones

Ever feel like some days you’re a machine, and others… not so much? You’re not alone  and you’re not broken. You’re cyclical.

Cycle syncing is a rising wellness practice that invites women to tailor their nutrition, movement, and lifestyle habits based on the four distinct phases of the menstrual cycle. It’s not just a TikTok trend it’s a science-backed approach that honors your body’s natural rhythm.

The Four Phases:

1. Menstrual (Days 1–5): Energy is lower. Rest and replenish. Warm, mineral-rich foods like soups and tonics may support recovery.

2. Follicular (Days 6–14): Energy rises. Time to get creative. Try new workouts or foods that build vitality.

3. Ovulation (Days 15–17): Peak strength and social energy. Focus on hydration and lighter meals.

4. Luteal (Days 18–28): Slow down. Cravings may rise. Support mood and metabolism with grounding adaptogens like tulsi or ginseng.

At Mrs. Toddy’s, we believe that daily rituals  like sipping a naturally infused functional tonic — can help you feel more connected to your body through every phase.

No need to overhaul your life. Just start with small shifts that support your cycle, not fight it.
