Understanding Your Menstrual Cycle with Dr. Kristina Torrence

The menstrual cycle, averaging 28 days, is a dynamic process driven by hormones like estrogen and progesterone. It consists of four phases:

: Your period, when the uterine lining sheds. Energy may be low, so prioritize rest and iron-rich foods like leafy greens.

: Estrogen rises, boosting energy and creativity. This is ideal for high-intensity workouts or tackling new projects.

: A surge in luteinizing hormone triggers ovulation. You may feel confident and sociable, perfect for networking or self-care.

: Progesterone dominates, preparing your body for pregnancy. PMS symptoms like bloating or mood swings may arise, so focus on gentle movement and stress management.

Understanding these phases allows you to sync your lifestyle—exercise, diet, and self-care—with your body’s natural rhythm, a practice known as cycle syncing.

Many women face cycle-related challenges, such as irregular periods, heavy bleeding, or severe PMS. These can stem from hormonal imbalances, stress, or conditions like PCOS or thyroid dysfunction. Research shows that 20-40% of women experience PMS, while irregular cycles affect up to 14% of premenopausal women. At Kairos Rejuvenation, Dr. Kristina Torrence uses advanced diagnostics, including comprehensive hormone testing, to identify root causes. Treatments like bioidentical hormone therapy or nutritional counseling can restore balance, while IV hydration supports energy and skin health impacted by hormonal shifts.
