It’s fun written! Teaches you the basics of cycle syncing. The book is suitable to start with if you don’t know the basics about this subject.

She explains everything very easy. Would recommend it for clients who wants to know more about women hormones and what is happening within our body.

This was a good introduction to cycle syncing with lots of examples and flexible ideas on how all mensturators can benefit from it. As someone who endures painful periods and PMDD symptoms I’m hoping I can put some of it to use to help me understand my body more. If this practice helps reduce the intensity of symptoms - beautiful! If it simply pushes me to document my symptoms more and notice patterns - I can use that information to better advocate for myself.

Easy writing and really cool and applicable stuff.

I came in expecting a primer on menstrual cycles and hormone levels and got so many more creative ideas about how to think about structuring tasks and taking care of myself with my cycle in mind! It was thoughtful and engaging, as well as informative. Will be referring to this book in the future!

Solid ebook and introduction to understanding your cycle. I got a lot out of the first third - which was the most science-based - and it helped me think about patterns in my own life. The rest was a bit repetitive and felt more like the author’s interpretation and advice more than anything else. 90% of her relate-to-the-reader examples are exercise-based, so if regular kayaking/hiking/climbing isn’t a reader’s lifestyle it’ll leave them feeling a little forgotten.

All-round informative enough. I was looking for a science-based read on the effects of female hormones during the menstrual cycle on mood, energy levels, and exercise performance. I wish there’d be more references to actual scientific research though and that it had been written in a more serious tone, and less like a YA novel. I didn’t care for the ‘seasons’ analogy either but overall, the book did the trick and I got the info I was looking for.

Very simple no frills writing, probably good for people who are completely new to cycle synching and FAM - so it wasn’t really for me.
