first KEY POINT
The hormonal system is your key to a more satisfying life
Growing up, Alisa Vitti was an overachiever. She spent her teenage years working for the highest grades and participating in extracurricular activities to become the perfect student. While this period developed her as a person, it didn’t go unnoticed for her well-being. Her unending drive to excel passed on to her college and post-graduation years as the pressure ramped up. Her growing mental and physical health issues had an impact. She was gaining weight, was anxious, couldn’t sleep, and had irregular periods.When she got to college, Vitti found an article in an obstetrics journal that indicated her symptoms could result from Stein-Leventhal disease, now known as PCOS — polycystic ovary syndrome. She reported this to her gynecologist, who confirmed through several tests that she indeed had PCOS. Living with this disease forced Vitti to develop “The Cycle Syncing Method” to stay connected to her feminine energy despite what culture dictates. Vitti believes every woman needs to understand biohacking and its benefits. Biohacking reveals that your body can perform in ways you’re unaware of and push you to the limits of feeling the best you can.
A woman should align with her hormonal cycle to discover the benefits of health balance.
Achieving synchrony with your natural hormonal cycle can charge you with energy, uncover your hidden potential, and reveal an altogether different person. This summary will teach you how women can tap into that inner power. So, get ready to discover how you can enrich your physical and mental well-being with your hormones.
second KEY POINT
Men and women have vastly different hormonal cycles
Many myths and misconceptions about women’s bodies have overpowered our media space. As a result, some girls started treating periods as shameful rather than a natural process. A lack of appropriate knowledge about their bodies and how they function can be dangerous and might even become the reason for more severe health neglect later on. Instead, women regain power by studying their reproductive systems and learning to care for them.Health advice is often regarded as “neutral,” applicable to both men and women with equal success. Many disregard the idea that our bodies can function in very different ways, making women feel bad about their hormonal cycles, mood swings, and being female in general. Instead, they should know how differently the female body functions from the male one to debunk those misconceptions. Some widespread myths include:• PMS is an integral part of having a period.
• Cramps and pain during a period are unavoidable.
• Being on the pill helps regulate periods.
• Not having a period at all is normal.However, research shows that PMS symptoms only appear due to estrogen imbalance. PMS becomes much more manageable if a woman consumes the right foods and aligns with her cycle.
