Ovulatory:
Your Peak Power
This is the high-energy, peak-performance phase of your cycle. Ovulation is when your body releases an egg, and hormone levels reach their highest point, making you feel magnetic, social, and confident. You may feel your most extroverted, strongest in workouts, and sharpest mentally. This is a prime time for connection, high-impact activities, and putting plans into action.
I. What’s Happening
in Your Body?
-
The ovary releases an egg for potential fertilization—this is ovulation.
-
The uterine lining is at its thickest and most fertile state in preparation for pregnancy.
-
If the egg isn’t fertilized, it will dissolve within 12–24 hours, and your body will shift into the luteal phase.
-
Your cervical mucus becomes more fluid and stretchy to support sperm survival.
II. The Role of
Hormones & Impact
-
Estrogen peaks → You feel energetic, radiant, and mentally sharp.
-
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) surges → This signals the ovary to release an egg.
-
Testosterone increases → Boosting confidence, libido, and muscle performance.
III. How It Affects
Energy & Mood
-
Peak energy levels: You feel strongest and most resilient.
-
Enhanced communication skills: Great for public speaking, networking, and socializing.
-
Increased libido & confidence: You might feel more magnetic and in tune with yourself.

Self-Care for Ovulation: *Embrace body awareness by indulging in self-care rituals like dry brushing, body oils, or lymphatic massage to support circulation. *Prioritize hydration to keep energy levels steady and reduce water retention. *Sync with your natural radiance by engaging in beauty rituals like gua sha, face masks, or deep conditioning treatments.
