CYCLE SYNC MASTERY: Unlocking your hormonal potential

September 19, 2024

Are you tired of feeling drained and out of sync as you navigate peri-menopause? Do you long for a renewed sense of vitality and resilience? Imagine feeling not just better, but invigorated—more energised, focused, and empowered as you embrace this transformative stage of life. For many women, as they reach the peak of their careers, perimenopause can cause major upheaval in both their personal and professional lives, leading to poor productivity and loss of confidence. 

Do you find yourself struggling with fatigue, irritability, or lack of productivity during certain phases of the month? Are you ready to bid farewell to these challenges and welcome a new sense of balance and well-being? When our hormonal rhythms are out of sync, we can experience dips in our mood, energy and well-being that impacts on all aspects of life.  

In our course, you'll discover how to navigate peri-menopause with invaluable insights into understanding and embracing your hormonal fluctuations. Equipped with practical strategies for regulating your nervous system and effectively managing stress, nutrition, fasting and exercise you'll pave the way for a life filled with ease, energy, and flow.

For too long, women have adapted to fit into traditional workplace structures designed by and for men. As more women ascend the ranks, it's time to break through barriers and explore productivity from a female perspective. Are you ready to embrace a productivity approach tailored to women, unlocking your full potential in both your professional and personal life?

Imagine if the key to a successful workday lay within the rhythms of the female hormonal cycle. Visualise knowing the optimal moments, biochemically, for peak energy and focus—ideal for requesting a promotion or sealing a deal. What if you could optimise leadership by aligning it with your biology's natural ebbs and flows?

Understanding how to sync your hormonal cycle with work and life commitments is a powerful tool for enhancing productivity. By tapping into this bio-hack, women can leverage their innate energy and maximise effectiveness in both professional and personal realms. Are you ready to harness this potential and thrive in every aspect of your life?

A little more about the speakers :

Marisa Matos BSc (Microbiology & Genetics), DipNT, mANP, mGNC

Marisa is a passionate advocate for women's health and empowerment. She is driven by an insatiable curiosity about the secrets to living a vibrant, healthy and fulfilling life.

With a background in Microbiology and Genetics, combined with extensive training in Naturopathic Nutrition, she brings a unique blend of scientific expertise and holistic wellness to her practice. After founding Ultivita Health and specialising in complex chronic illnesses, Marisa identified a significant gap in understanding among individuals regarding their bodies' functioning and the prevention of illness. She observed that many people, particularly females, lacked comprehension of their hormonal dynamics, often perceiving hormones as a nuisance rather than a vital aspect of well-being. Driven by this realisation, Marisa has made it her mission to bridge this gap by educating and empowering women to harness the power of their hormones for optimal health and vitality. Her approach emphasises the importance of metabolic health and focuses on optimising hormonal balance and bio-synchrony to transform both personal and professional fulfilment during every stage of life. 

In addition to her clinical work, Marisa serves as a lecturer in Nutrition Science and contributes as a freelance nutrition writer.
