I struggled with horrific cramps, PMS, and hormonal acne my whole life, and as soon as I learned how to make my hormones work for me by Cycle Syncing, my symptoms completely vanished.I felt overwhelmed by this topic for the longest time because I didn’t know where to get started, and Alisa makes it so simple and approachable to follow along. I only WISH I had this book years ago -it’s a must-read for anyone in their menstrual years.So thankful for Alisa and the work she’s doing.
It makes so much sense that we have different energy at different phases in our cycle. I wish I had known about this sooner!I have been following Alisa for years, and I’ve recommended her work to my sister, cousins, and girlfriends. I just started reading In The FLO, and I’m really excited to dive more deeply into her new book.From what I’ve read so far, Alisa very clearly breaks down how to plan your work, social life, exercise, relationship, and creativity around each phase of your cycle. I love the planner and the charts for each phase – super helpful.I have used cycle syncing to plan the best times for my creative work so that I get more done in less time.It has also changed the way that I work out. I used to push myself to my limits, thinking that I would get better results. Well, it finally sunk in that taking rest days in certain phases has actually made me stronger and more fit!
If you want to learn how to maximize your energy and time using your unique timing, this is the book for you.
I immediately purchased this book after hearing Alisa on That’s So Retrograde. I was familiar with charting and had read Taking Charge of Your Fertility, so I had at least an understanding of the various phases and their emotional impact. Even though this book is science-based, the way Alisa structures it and adds anecdotes along the way makes the information very approachable and conversational. I adore how she clearly nerds out about this topic.I already had switched to a fairly clean diet (organic, mostly plant-based) and did my best to minimize stress (I mean, c’mon, easier said than done) after having some GI issues. I also have been using a menstrual cup for about 2.5 years and noticed my flow seemed a little lighter. These changes at least got my cycle to be somewhat predictable (I was previously diagnosed with PCOS and my cycles could be up to 50 days; now I’m down to 35 at the most). However, I have ALWAYS struggled with cramps the day before I got my period, the first day, and leading into the second. I would also pass several sizable clots the first couple days. There have been times that I would have to stay home from school or work because I couldn’t function with the pain and heavy flow. It never crossed my mind that this isn’t “normal.” I always thought these things were normal for me and that was just the luck of the draw. I mean, tons of women suffer from cramping.I was at the tail-end of my luteal phase when I read this book and implemented a few of the supplements suggested and switched to decaf right before my period was supposed to start. I didn’t have any expectations since I was already doing a lot of the things the book suggested (so my transition was really minimal), but then my period came and I had. no. cramps. NONE! The “pain” was sort of like a dull headache just on day one. I was in such bliss and felt absolutely amazing for the first time EVER with my period. Let me tell you, it is a crazy empowering feeling! I am still in shock and could cry at the thought of a painless period. Additionally, the color was just as the book explained. No old blood (which I would typically start and end with).While I’m certainly hopeful that when my period comes next cycle I will have the same experience, I’m so thankful to Alisa and her research to give me at least one good period in 25 years! It IS possible! I feel obligated to share this book with every woman I know! I will update next cycle to note any changes.
I am 44 years old. I’ve been very blessed with having no issues like PMS or PCOS, but I wish I would have discovered the details in this book when I was 14. I picked up this book because I’ve been looking for more information regarding women’s health and most every book out there is geared towards men. Thank you for bringing things to light regarding the different fad diets. I’ve tried them all and I always feel like my body is missing something, now I understand. I look forward to the future of enlightened women!
Alisa’s cycle syncing method has completely transformed the way I relate to my body and the rest of my life. As women we’ve been told a lie that we are supposed to operate the same every day, when really, our hormones lay out a whole monthly plan for us that ebbs and flows. Finally someone has outlined this in an accessible, understandable way, that is easy to implement – and that person is Alisa Vitti!I love how the book is broken up into sections so that you can focus on different aspects from health to motherhood to sex and relationships to work and more. As someone who is self-employed, the recommendations for working in the flo are especially helpful because now I have a system that can help me organize my work projects in alignment with my body! Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a better approach to scheduling your life and relating to your body.
I can’t say enough good things about this book! This book should be mandatory reading for all girls when they start their periods. Knowledge is power and man, how I wish I would’ve known this information years ago. I think intuitively I recognized my biological rhythm but to have someone back it up with so much research and explain it in a way that’s so easy to understand…so many things make sense now regarding my energy levels, cravings, sex drive, moods, health, etc. So much good information in this book! Women’s bodies are amazing!
I am so pleased that I got the book this book is awesome for every age of women.great information great confirmation such an awesome book I can’t express it any more than that. |
