In the Flo: Unlock Your Hormonal Advantage and Revolutionize Your Life

by Alisa Vitti

Science shows us that PMS symptoms arise only when there is an imbalance of estrogen and progesterone during the luteal phase.

The good news is that when you consume the right foods for your cycle, you provide the building blocks your body needs to promote the production of the good prostaglandins that ease period pain.

Our menstrual cycle is so critical to our overall health and well-being that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has decreed that menstruation is the fifth vital sign, just as important as pulse, temperature, breathing rate, and blood pressure.

If you’re missing periods due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or if you have irregular cycles, it’s a sign your hormonal system is off-kilter and will likely be accompanied by symptoms like acne, mood swings, or weight gain.

biohacking really is a term that can be used to describe a proactive relationship with your body, its systems, and your health.

We are meant to live our lives in rhythm with this cycle of creation—from seed to growth to harvest to rest.

women are more inclined to have a “tend-and-befriend” response to stress. During these times, we are more likely to tend to young ones and befriend others for support as a way to enhance the odds of survival—not only our own survival but also that of our offspring. Just look at how women rush to social media to support crowdfunding for disaster relief—organizing donations to victims of hurricanes, earthquakes, and even terror attacks.
