Benefits of Cycle Syncing for T1D Management

What is Cycle Syncing?

Cycle Syncing is a practice where you match your lifestyle, workouts and nutrition to your menstrual cycle. Because different times of the month bring different energy, nutrition needs and physiological changes, this practice allows you to meet your body where it is instead of pushing against it.

Where Does Diabetes Management Come to Play?

Just like our body, mood and energy changes throughout the month, so does our response to insulin. Insulin sensitivity shifts throughout the month as a response to hormone shifts and stress. Cycle syncing with diabetes management means that you adjust your insulin management in correlation to your cycle and decrease stress on the body through other lifestyle, nutrition and exercise practices.

The Benefits Behind Cycle Syncing:

The way we connect with our natural rhythms and flow can be a powerful force behind the way we feel and show up in all areas of our life. It is partnering with our body on a deeper level.

Syncing your lifestyle, nourishment and movement with your month-long menstrual cycle needs is key to reaching a healthy cycle, balancing hormones, increasing energy, stabilizing your mood, managing your productivity and increasing predictability in blood sugars in a way that feels truly aligned!

Cycle Syncing Also Allows You to..

• Build energy versus drain it.
• Understand the impact of hormonal shifts on blood sugars and be proactive in shifting lifestyle & dosing strategies.
• Live alongside the natural flow of energy that runs through us.
• Make workouts more effective by meeting our energy where it’s at on a hormonal level (ie. doing movement that works with your body and not against it).
• Gain predictability in blood sugars and increase insulin sensitivity on a holistic level by reducing stress and inflammation through connecting and flowing alongside your the body’s natural rhythms.
• Take the guesswork out of your diet, workouts and daily habits so you can start working with your body instead of against it.
• Understand your personal menstrual experience so you can identify when something is off and how that will impact blood sugars.
• Reduce insulin resistance and PMS symptoms in the process.
