But how about your <strong>infradian rhythm<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See, our culturescape has upheld the masculine cycles as the standard of how &#8220;normal&#8221; bodies work. However, the male lifestyle and biological rhythms are miles apart from their counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thankfully, we\u2019re in a period of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0P9SauG4f70\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">female awakening<\/a>. And it\u2019s time to reclaim <em>all<\/em> that makes us so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any person with female physiology\u2014that\u2019s half of the world\u2019s population, by the way \u2014 experiences an innate &#8220;second clock.&#8221; It\u2019s called the <strong>infradian rhythm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And when you tune into this particular natural rhythm, you may just find you\u2019ll live a healthier, more balanced life. So let\u2019s get familiar with a part of yourself you may have never known you had.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-biological-clock\">What is the biological clock?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biological rhythm, a.k.a. biological clock, is the body\u2019s natural cycle that governs our body\u2019s chemicals and functions. Both genders have the following three, specifically named to show how long it lasts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Circadian rhythm: <\/strong>a 24-hour cycle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Diurnal rhythm:<\/strong> synchronized with the day\/night cycle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ultradian rhythm: <\/strong>a cycle that is less than 24 hours long but repeated throughout a 24-hour day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although males and females have these rhythms, females are built a little more differently than males.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org\/doi\/10.1126\/science.abd4964\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2020 study<\/a> published in <em>Science<\/em> found that males and females have different circadian rhythms. The researchers analyzed multiple studies on sleep patterns and wakefulness. They found that females were more likely to be active in the morning, while males tended to be active at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason why is yet to be determined, but it\u2019s possible that females have a greater role in nurturing offspring. So this leads to them being in sync with their children, who tend to be active in the morning, according to lead study author Se\u00e1n T. Anderson, Ph.D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s more, females also have an additional (and equally as important) rhythm. \u201c<em>Women, starting at puberty, from their first period to their last, they have a second clock that gets activated called the infradian rhythm,<\/em>\u201d explains Alisa Vitti, women\u2019s hormone and functional nutrition expert, bestselling author of <em>WomanCode<\/em>, and founder of FLO Living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-infradian-rhythm\">What is the infradian rhythm?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, the word <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/circadian#:~:text=More%20About%20circadian-,Did%20you%20know%3F,-In%201959%2C%20a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>circadian<\/em><\/a> derives from two Latin words. <em>Circa<\/em> means &#8220;about,&#8221; while <em>dian<\/em> means &#8220;day.&#8221; So the full word translates to &#8220;about a day.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to the word <em>infradian<\/em>, the first part means &#8220;beyond.&#8221; That translates <em>infradian<\/em> as &#8220;beyond a day.&#8221;<br><br>In fact, the infradian rhythm lasts for an entire month, with the normal period being between 26 and 32 days. Specifically, females move through four phases within any given month. They are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Phase 1: <\/strong>Menstruation (your period, which lasts anywhere from 3 to 7 days)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Phase 2: <\/strong>Follicular Phase (the 7 to 10 days after your period)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Phase 3: <\/strong>Ovulation (the 4 to 7 days in the middle of your cycle where ovulation takes place)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Phase 4:<\/strong> Luteal (the 10 to 14 days between ovulation and your period)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During each of these phases, you will experience hormonal changes that affect your body temperature, sleep cycle, energy, emotions, sexual impulses, and concentration, to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-the-infradian-rhythm-influence\">What does the infradian rhythm influence?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The infradian rhythm governs more than just your menstruation and ovulation cycles. \u201c<em>In fact, what it turns out to be is that infradian rhythm governs six different systems in the female body,<\/em>\u201d says Alisa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These systems include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The central nervous system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your metabolism<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your immune functioning&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The gut\u2019s microbiome<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your stress response system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The reproductive system&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With all these systems that the infradian rhythm influences, it raises several great questions, which were brought up during <a href=\"https:\/\/podcast.mindvalley.com\/how-female-biohacking-can-unlock-peak-creativity-alisa-vitti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alisa\u2019s interview with Vishen<\/a> on The Mindvalley Podcast:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How can you take advantage of the 25% shift in your brain that takes place over the month?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How do you optimize your work and minimize your stress?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which workout should you do and when?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For mothers, how can you organize all the different activities of motherhood?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How can you biohack your sexual response? And how can your partner get in sync during this time?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can hit all these points by, first, understanding the different phases of your infradian rhythm. Only then can you implement the appropriate self-care your body so deservedly needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CHgKGMJhiKT\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Unlike a lot of men, you can\u2019t just be all like, \u201c<em>Okay, my self-care is getting up at the same time every day, doing the same exercise every day, eating the same diet every day, and working productively between the hours of 9 to 5 every day.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not going to happen. It shouldn\u2019t happen. Your self-care as a woman, ideally, should change every week depending on where you are on your cycle. Here\u2019s some advice on what to do week by week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-week-1-the-menstrual-phase\">Week 1: The menstrual phase<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first day of bleeding is considered day one of your <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/discover-the-phases-of-the-menstrual-cycle-and-how-to-unlock-their-power\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">menstrual cycle<\/a>. It\u2019s the decline in your progesterone levels that causes the uterine lining to shed and your period to start.<br><br>This is by no means the phase to \u2018power through.\u2019 Here are a few tips that can help:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be gentle with yourself and accept that you may not be as productive as usual, and that\u2019s ok. Clear your calendar of overwhelming social events and turn inwards, too.

No cardio or activities that will wipe you out. Your energy is at an all-time low in this phase, so keep that in mind.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t go hungry, so eat plenty of healthy fats, such as nuts, seeds, and fish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-week-2-the-follicular-phase\">Week 2: The follicular phase<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just after your period ends, your pituitary gland releases a hormone called FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), which makes the follicles in your ovaries mature. These follicles house your eggs, and this phase perfectly prepares you for ovulation.<br><br>You\u2019ll feel a bit more fresh and bouncy in this phase, with more energy to spare. So it\u2019s the best time to consider these options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use this newfound energy to say &#8220;yes&#8221; to new experiences, solve problems, explore your creativity, engage in exercises such as cardio and Zumba, and begin to gently embrace your more social side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Practice <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/what-is-mindfulness\">mindfulness<\/a> and, although it\u2019s tempting, resist the urge to exploit your energy and burn yourself out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In terms of food, eat fresh, vibrant, light foods, and energy-sustaining grains like buckwheat to keep your vibe high.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-week-3-the-ovulation-phase\">Week 3: The ovulation phase<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During your ovulation phase, your body enjoys the fruit of its labor and releases a precious egg. All the hard work your body has done over the last couple of weeks has led up to this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll be feeling full of energy, and this is both your fertile and highly productive window. This is your time to shine, so harness the power of this phase and enjoy it to the max.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Throw yourself into your projects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allow yourself to be fully seen and heard by those who surround you, so go out and enjoy networking events.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Engage in upbeat aerobic exercise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enjoy all that has to do with sexual pleasure. Don\u2019t forget about the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/foreplay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">foreplay<\/a>!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foods, including broccoli and alfalfa seeds, salmon and tuna, and sunflower and sesame seeds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-week-4-the-luteal-phase\">Week 4: The luteal phase<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During your luteal phase, you may have a dramatic decrease in your tolerance for bullsh*t and your ability to suffer fools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The desire for connection with others often dwindles as your emotional landscape invites you to turn inward and tend to your own varying emotions. It can be a rocky phase, especially in the second half, and many women report that their shadow selves come out to play at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Honor and express your emotions in this phase, and feel free to take lots of time alone.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid cardio (to avoid unnecessary fat storage) and embrace strength training or yoga.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finish your projects and tie up loose ends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eat well, keep your blood sugar stable, and up your calories with slow-burning, healthy carbs (think legumes, brown rice, and quinoa) at this time.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PMS can strike at the tail end of this phase, so watch out and make sure you protect yourself from stressful stimuli. Lots of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/best-guided-meditations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">meditation<\/a> and relaxation in this phase, please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B-Pz4KzhRnu\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
