Do you feel tired, moody, or unfocused at different times of the month? This is not just stress! It often comes from your body’s natural hormone changes. Studies from NIH say over 75% of women do not get enough magnesium, which may cause cramps, anxiety, and low energy.
Another study found that tracking your cycle and adjusting your habits can improve mood and focus. (Journal of Women’s Health)
That’s where Unwind and Uplift can actually help you ;)
This practice is called cycle syncing. It means adjusting your food, exercise, and rest based on the four phases of your menstrual cycle.
In this blog, we will talk about cycle syncing. What it means, how magnesium and nootropics help, and how you can use Unwind and Uplift to feel better through every phase of your cycle!
What Is Cycle Syncing According to Medical Science?
Cycle syncing means living in tune with your body’s natural rhythm.
Your menstrual cycle has mainly 4 parts:
- menstrual,
- follicular,
- ovulatory,
- and luteal.
Each phase affects your energy, mood, and focus in different ways.
Doctors say that many women face strong PMS symptoms, poor sleep, and mood swings because they ignore these changes.
A 2021 health report found that about 85% of women suffer from at least one PMS symptom every month. Maybe you are suffering too?
When you understand your cycle, you can make small changes that help your hormones stay balanced.
Here’s a short checklist to see if your body needs better cycle care:
✅ You feel tired often, even after a good sleep
✅ You get headaches or cramps before your period
✅ You notice too many mood swings or anxiety
✅ You crave sugar, chocolate, or caffeine often
✅ You have trouble focusing at work or school
If you said “yes” to most of these, you may not be syncing with your natural rhythm. Over time, this can lead to hormonal imbalance, low energy, and poor mental focus.
Now you may ask, why so serious about it.....?????????
Well, Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) primarily harms your life by causing a wide range of physical and emotional symptoms. These symptoms can interfere with daily activities, work, school, and relationships.
In some cases, the condition known as Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) can lead to intense depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, too.
So yes, it's kinda serious!
Why Magnesium and Nootropics Matter for Menstrual Health
Your body needs the right nutrients to stay calm, focused, and balanced during your cycle. Two key helpers are magnesium and nootropics.
Magnesium
It is a mineral that helps your muscles relax. It can reduce cramps, ease anxiety, and improve sleep quality. When magnesium levels drop, your body feels tense and tired.
Studies show that women who take enough magnesium have fewer PMS symptoms and better moods. Research found that magnesium may lower pain and bloating during periods. It relaxes the muscles and calms the nerves (Journal of Women’s Health).
Nootropics
These are natural brain boosters. Common ones are Ginkgo Biloba and Green Tea extract. They help improve focus, memory, and steady energy. Ginkgo Biloba increases blood flow to the brain, which helps reduce brain fog. Green Tea extract provides smooth energy without the crash that comes from coffee.
These two, magnesium and nootropics, work perfectly together.
One helps your body rest, and the other helps your mind stay sharp.

The Four Phases of the Cycle and How to Support Each One
Your menstrual cycle has four main phases. Each phase needs different care and energy. When you match your habits and drinks to each phase, your body feels more balanced and less tired.
Menstrual Phase (Days 1–5)
This is when your period starts. Your body loses blood and energy, so rest is most important. Focus on warmth, gentle yoga, or short walks.
Your best drink is Unwind. It has Magnesium and Ashwagandha to ease cramps, calm your mind, and relax muscles. It also helps you sleep better during these days.
Why it works:
Magnesium relaxes tight muscles and lowers stress hormones. Ashwagandha helps your body handle emotional ups and downs. Together, they support both your body and mood.
Follicular Phase (Days 6–12)
Your energy starts to rise now. You feel more positive, creative, and ready to try new things. This is a good time for planning and workouts like jogging or dance. Your perfect combo is Uplift + Unwind.
- Uplift gives you focus and natural energy from Green Tea caffeine and Ginkgo Biloba.
- Unwind keeps your mood calm and balanced, so your energy stays smooth.
Green Tea gives gentle energy, and Ginkgo helps your brain think fast. Magnesium keeps you relaxed and prevents burnout.
Ovulatory Phase (Days 13–15)
This is your peak time. Your body releases an egg, and your hormones are at their highest. You feel strong, active, and social. Your best drink is Uplift.
Nootropics like Ginkgo Biloba sharpen your focus and help you stay confident during busy or social days. B vitamins and Green Tea extract support energy production and help your skin glow.
This is the best time for teamwork, big meetings, and high-intensity workouts.
Luteal Phase (Days 16–28)
Your hormones start to drop, and you might feel bloated or tired. Mood swings or food cravings can show up. It’s time to slow down, focus on comfort, and care for yourself. Your best combo is again Uplift + Unwind.
Unwind helps reduce bloating and calm your body with Magnesium. Uplift gives steady energy without caffeine crashes. The mix supports your mood and focus even when hormones shift.
You can add hot yoga, journaling, or short walks to feel lighter and calm.

Another study on Ginkgo Biloba, a key nootropic, showed it helps improve memory, blood flow, and mental speed. These results explain why magnesium and nootropics work so well together. One relaxes the body, the other sharpens the mind.
