Lindsay & Lauren review the phases of the menstrual cycle and how hormone levels impact energy, mood, & ADHD symptoms during each phase. Lauren explains that days 1-7 are typically low-energy days, while days 8-12 typically constitute a high-energy, creative, social, and happy time. Days 12-14 (usually when ovulation occurs) can be intense for those sensitive to hormonal fluctuations. Finally, days 14-28 can be the most challenging part of the menstrual cycle, since they often entail low mood, irritability, and increased ADHD symptoms. They encourage everyone to track their cycle and lean into cyclical living for more ease and less frustration during these different times of the month.
