Have you ever heard that during ovulation every woman should feel magnetic, radiant, and full of energy? But what if, in the middle of your menstrual cycle, you feel rushed, anxious, sleep poorly, and think, "Something's wrong with me"?

The truth is that no standard 28-day menstrual cycle chart considers the individuality of your brain.

In this video, based on the neuroscience of the menstrual cycle, you will understand how estrogen and progesterone actually act on the central nervous system—acting on the accelerator (glutamate) and the brake (GABA)—why the estrogen peak can cause hyperstimulation instead of calm, and how to stop trying to fit into generic rules to become the scientist of yourself.
