Women are biologically wired to process stress differently than men. When cortisol rises during stressful situations, it can downregulate progesterone & estrogen, which will affect the development of the uterine lining and impact the length/timing of your bleed. Cortisol also impacts the hypothalamus by blocking luteinizing hormone, involved in preventing or delaying ovulation. So, how does this effect your hormones? In the short term, this will affect your cycle & can create ongoing irregular cycles. Long term, this can lower fertility, age your ovaries faster, and send you into an early & symptomatic perimenopause. The solution? Cycle Syncing® your exercise, calories, & projects - to keep stress better managed daily. The Cycle Syncing® Membership will guide you through every phase of your cycle so you are able to live a life with less stress and balanced hormones. |
