Key ideas in Mastering Your Monthly Rhythm

  • Rising progesterone increases core body temperature and resting heart rate
  • Estrogen is a natural 'upper' for energy and mood
  • The body works harder to maintain homeostasis during the luteal phase
  • Progesterone has a sedative effect on the nervous system
  • Why the same physical effort feels harder during different weeks
  • Mapping hormone shifts to energy states
  • Higher pain tolerance occurs when estrogen is rising
  • Muscle recovery is faster during the first half of the cycle
  • The ovulatory phase is the peak of physical strength
  • The late luteal phase is the lowest point for high-intensity work
  • Recognizing signs of a high-intensity phase
  • Predicting energy peaks across the cycle
  • The body is more sensitive to stress in the second half of the cycle
  • High-estrogen days are best for hitting personal records in the gym
  • Forcing intensity during low-power modes triggers a survival stress response
  • Restorative work is better saved for the days just before or during a period
