Episode 228 – Menstrual Cycle Awareness and Cyclical Living: Tap Into Your Hormonal and Moon Rhythms (Re-Release)

May 04, 2024

In today’s episode re-release from 2021, Dr. Lisa and Dr. Toni talk about menstrual cycle awareness. Did you know that there are different times of the month that are more suited for you to be productive, be social, do analytical work, do a presentation or to rest? Your energy can fluctuate in relation to the moon cycle and your menstrual cycle. Cyclical living can be used to maximize your productivity, efficiency and success at work and at home throughout the month.


If you don’t have a regular menstrual cycle right now, you can follow the moon’s cycles.


In today’s episode, we cover:

  • Recent research looking at how the full moon can impact your sleep and menstrual cycle
  • How the US Women’s soccer team were using menstrual cycle awareness to maximize nutrition, training, rest and recovery, resulting in their second World Cup win
  • The similarities between moon phases and menstrual cycle phases
  • How changes in your hormones and moon phases can impact your mood and energy

Today’s Mama Must Have: 

Dr. Lisa enjoys having someone else make food and getting it delivered with Uber Eats, Door Dash and Skip the Dishes.
Dr. Toni enjoys the peek into psychedelic psychotherapy, the Wim Hof Method of breathing and cold plunges and orgasm workshop on Netflix’s the goop lab with Gwyneth Paltrow
