The evidence-backed framework. What to eat, how to move, how to track, and how to actually use all of this.

This is Part 2 of The Cycle Syncing Guide I Wish I’d Had. If you haven’t read Part 1, start there — it covers what cycle syncing actually is, what the exercise research says (and doesn’t say), the real hormonal biology of each phase, and the evidence behind the nutrition claims. This part is the practical half.


Part 1 did the work that cycle syncing content almost never does: it separated the evidence from the extrapolation.

You now know which biology is real. You know that the exercise research doesn’t support phase-specific training prescriptions for performance outcomes, but does validate the lived experience of feeling different across the month. You know that the programme as sold is built on a foundation of real science but extended several steps further than the data supports.

Part 2 takes that foundation and builds something you can actually use. Not a programme with day-numbered prescriptions. A framework that works with your real cycle, which may not be 28 days, may include anovulatory phases, and may be significantly altered if you’re on hormonal contraception and that adjusts to your individual pattern rather than an average.


PS: We also have a subscriber-only group chat where members discuss the deep dives, share their sleep journeys, and ask me questions directly. See you there.
