Cycle syncing isn’t meant to be another rigid protocol or checklist, it’s meant to help you work with your body, not against it. In this episode I’m chatting with Eversio Wellness Co-Founder Brandi Garden, and Dr. Desiree Caruso, Naturopathic Physician, who are breaking down how to use medicinal mushrooms to support each phase of your cycle in a simple, intuitive, and hormone-supportive way that actually feels nourishing instead of stressful.In this episode we’re sharing:Why cycle syncing with mushrooms works so well for hormone balanceHow medicinal mushrooms act as adaptogens to stabilize stress, blood sugar, and energy throughout the monthExactly which mushrooms support each phase of your cycle (menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal) and whyWhy Reishi is so powerful during your period for rest, immune support, and nervous system regulationHow Lion’s Mane supports brain function and creativity during your follicular and ovulatory phases, even when taken at nightWhy Cordyceps can reduce caffeine dependence, improve energy, and ease PMS during the luteal phaseHow Maitake supports blood sugar and insulin sensitivity when cortisol naturally runs higherWhat to do if your cycle is irregular, unpredictable, or you’re not currently bleedingHow to start cycle syncing without buying everything at once, and why it’s more cost-effective than you thinkWhy symptoms aren’t something to fix, but feedback your body is giving you—and how cycle syncing helps you respondCycle syncing is not about perfection, timing everything down to the day, or doing “one more thing” to fix your hormones.
