Women of Reproductive Age
A simple way to think about your cycle isn’t as something that controls you—but as a built-in monthly rhythm that shapes your energy, mood, sleep, strength, and appetite. While every woman’s pattern is unique, understanding your phases can help you work with your body instead of against it.
Big picture: use your cycle as your strategy, not a struggle. Stop forcing consistency where your body is designed for rhythm:
-
High-energy phases (follicular + ovulatory): stack your calendar—big projects, hard workouts, presentations, social plans.
-
Lower-energy phases (menstrual + late luteal): slow down—recover, reflect, plan, and focus on quieter work
-
In-between phases: find your balance—steady productivity with built-in flexibility
Don’t forget to ask Dr. Graff for the full protocol—this includes exactly which supplements and adaptogens to use, plus detailed guidance on how to align your lifestyle with each phase of your cycle.
Postmenopausal Women
Feeling off in perimenopause or postmenopause—low energy, brain fog, weight changes, inflammation? You’re not crazy. Hormonal shifts are powerful and affect more than you think. That said, it’s not all hormones—and hormone therapy isn’t the answer for everyone.
Common misconceptions about hormones:
-
Hormones are not a cure-all for fatigue, weight gain, or every symptom
-
Hormones are not a substitute for nutrition, sleep, movement, or mental health care
-
They are not linked to causing cancer; however, if cancer already exists, they can promote its progression
-
You don’t have to stop hormone replacement just because you turned 60. What matters most is not age—but whether the benefits still outweigh the risks. With proper monitoring and no new risk factors, many women can safely continue hormone therapy and maintain quality of life.
