PMS Isn’t Normal: The Cycle Syncing Women Are Missing | Alisa Vitti

from The Art of Being Well

PMS is not “just part of being a woman,” and Alisa Vitti breaks down why symptoms are a signal worth taking seriously. You’ll learn how the infradian rhythm influences metabolism, mood, immune health, and stress response, and how cycle syncing can help support hormones across each phase of the month. We also unpack what the luteal phase really needs, including blood sugar stability, slow carbs, and why many women feel worse when they fast or push intense workouts at the wrong time. Alisa shares how to modulate training after ovulation, why some popular “biohacks” backfire for cycling women, and simple ways partners can be supportive. Plus, we cover her go-to basics for women over 35, including melatonin and other foundational support.
