Episode 31: Stress and your cycle
On the episode today we chat about stress and the menstrual cycle and I share with you the three prongs to focus on to support your cycle in times of stress.
Stress can stop our brain from sending a message to our ovaries to release our hormones that power our cycle - FSH and LH. FSH stimulates estrogen and LH stimulates ovulation AND progesterone.When we are stressed there is a communication error which can impact our cycle.
If your cycle is a little off over the next few cycles - that’s totally normal if you have been stressed and your red umbrella isn't working right. Because of the effect stress has on your brain and on those hormones that power your cycle - we can see irregular cycles, PMS, no ovulation, no cycle.
I hope you find this helpful.
Big love x
