Cycle Syncing Made Simple: How to Support Your Hormones Without Tracking Every Detail
You don’t have to be a charting queen to understand your cycle.

Although I personally love tracking (and I’m still learning new things about the cervical mucus aspect!), I didn’t start out with all the details. My journey began with what I like to call Cycle Syncing Basics.

Some women genuinely enjoy diving deep into every piece of cycle data—tracking temperatures, noting cervical mucus changes, and recording each shift. If that’s you, that’s amazing! Data can be a powerful tool for understanding your body. But if you’re someone who just wants clear, simple guidance without feeling like you’re preparing for a science fair, you’re in the right place.

The truth is, supporting your hormones and syncing your life with your cycle doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. You don’t need cycle perfectionism to feel more connected to your body. You just need to know what to look for and how to work with your body instead of against it.

What Is Cycle Syncing?

Cycle syncing is the practice of aligning your food, workouts, work schedule, and self-care routines with the phases of your menstrual cycle. By honoring your body’s hormonal shifts, you can reduce PMS symptoms, increase energy, and feel more balanced throughout the month.

The Simple Way to Start Cycle Syncing

You can start cycle syncing in a way that feels approachable and sustainable by focusing on:
✔️ No perfectionism required – you don’t need to track every detail to see results.
✔️ Learn what to look for – simple cues that tell you where you are in your cycle.
✔️ Feel confident + connected – even if you’re brand new to cycle syncing.
Whether you’re trying to conceive or simply want to support your hormones for long-term health, these basics can help you feel more in tune with your body.

Why This Works

When you start honoring your cycle—even in small ways—you’re reducing stress on your body, supporting balanced hormones, and making it easier to listen to your body’s needs. That can mean better sleep, improved mood, fewer cravings, and more consistent energy.

I am a bold, beautiful, sometimes timid, usually happy, essential oil, nutrition junkie. Although at 39 I feel as if I've had several careers over a lifetime (or at least sometimes when I look back at my resume that is what shines through). I've been a paralegal, an office manager, an administrative assistant, worked in commercial lending and have finally landed on nutrition.

My journey to nutrition started many years ago when my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease and food had to change for the family. From there, along my own health journey I’ve helped people not only figure out what to eat but how to do it so that it can work for them sustainably. For almost seven years I’ve been counseling people on their nutrition and weight loss journeys.

I am knowledgeable about what purpose food serves your body and I focus on finding sustainable options when it comes to food; this also led to my love of essential oils. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop where a registered dietitian spoke about using essential oils in her practice to help her patients. I was floored. I knew that #plantsheal but I didn't realize that others in the 'conventional' medical community thought that as well!! Learning that it was possible to incorporate these magical little bottles gave me a huge sense of hope.

As I learned more about these oils I was diagnosed with increased intestinal permeability or as many of us know it, leaky gut. Leaky gut has been around for quite awhile but many of us are just learning what this is or why this is even more common these days than ever before. Many issues can be related to leaky gut including autoimmune diseases. Receiving this diagnosis just led me down a path further to learn about nutrition and how to best serve my body and take care of myself.

Since birthing our sweet baby boy at home earlier this year I’ve been incredibly passionate about helping other women too who are pregnant and new mothers with their nutrition. Eating healthy for your pregnant body and your postpartum self is a game changer for both mother and baby.
