Surprising, Science-Backed Reasons to Cycle Sync this Spring

If you’ve been feeling an extra burst of energy and motivation lately, it’s not just the longer days or blooming flowers—it could be your body syncing with the seasons.

Spring is a powerful time to align your lifestyle with your menstrual cycle. And science affirms what many women have long known: when we live in sync with our hormones, everything flows better—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Below are three science-backed benefits of cycle syncing in the spring, and how our Incora smart earrings can help you do it effortlessly.

Spring Sunlight: Hormone & Brain‑Chemistry Boost

As daylight hours increase in spring, your brain ramps up production of serotonin and dopamine—neurotransmitters that play key roles in regulating mood, motivation, and focus. A study published in The Lancet confirmed that natural light exposure significantly boosts serotonin levels, helping improve overall mental well-being and cognitive clarity.

This pairs beautifully with your follicular and ovulatory phases (days 6–15), when rising estrogen levels naturally support verbal fluency, creativity, and social confidence. Research has shown that estrogen is linked to enhanced verbal memory and social cognition (Barth et al., 2015), making this time of the month—and the year—ideal for mental clarity and self-expression.

Spring Produce: Natural Detox for Hormone Balance

After a winter of heavier meals, spring is the perfect time for a metabolic refresh. Spring veggies like asparagus, artichokes, and dandelion greens naturally help your liver process and clear excess hormones—which is so key during your luteal phase when estrogen needs to be kept in check. And here’s a little bonus: fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, and kefir support your gut health and help your body break down estrogen more effectively.

That’s thanks to something called the estrobolome—a group of gut bacteria that plays a big role in metabolizing estrogen. Keeping that part of your microbiome happy can go a long way in reducing PMS symptoms and supporting hormonal balance overall (Plottel & Blaser, 2011).

Spring Movement: Aligning Energy & Metabolism

As temperatures rise and days get longer, you're naturally more inclined to move—and that's not just a mood thing, it's biological. During your follicular and ovulatory phases (days 6–15), your body is primed for higher-intensity exercise thanks to rising estrogen and improved insulin sensitivity.

Research shows that estrogen enhances carbohydrate metabolism and increases fat oxidation during exercise, meaning your workouts feel easier and your body is more efficient at using fuel (Hackney, 2021). This syncs beautifully with spring's energizing vibe.

Additionally, physical activity improves estrogen metabolism, easing PMS symptoms later in your cycle. Movement also supports your circadian rhythm, helping you sleep better and regulate stress, both crucial for hormone balance.

Why Spring Is the Ideal Time to Start

Spring is a season of renewal, growth, and energy, and your body is biologically wired to reflect that shift. Cycle syncing isn’t just about hormones. It’s about learning to live in flow with your body’s natural patterns.

And because we know how busy life gets, we created a tool to make that easier.
