Women operate on a Circadian Rhythm, as well as a second clock, which is the Infradian Rhythm or our 28-32 day cycle. This is tied to our monthly menstrual cycle, which includes four distinct phases where our brains are simply different.

The Two Clocks Are Deeply Connected

Hormonal shifts influence your body temperature, sleep quality, and heart rate.
Your 24-hour circadian rhythm directly impacts the effectiveness of your 28-day hormonal cycle.
When the circadian rhythm is disrupted, it throws off the monthly hormonal cycle as well.

The Cost of Ignoring the Second Clock

Neglecting the 28-day hormonal rhythm can contribute to serious health challenges:

• 5 million women experience symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

• 70–80% of women will develop uterine fibroids by age 50

• 1 in 10 women suffer from endometriosis during their reproductive years

• 600,000 hysterectomies are performed on women in the U.S. each year

• Women are 5 to 8 times more likely than men to experience thyroid disorders

• Up to 50 million women live with underdiagnosed or untreated chronic pain conditions

• Over 75% of all autoimmune disease diagnoses are in women
