Fasting for Longevity, Anti-Aging, and Hormonal Balance: Aligning with Your Cycle

For years, I fasted without considering my menstrual cycle, thinking it was the ultimate anti-aging tool. While fasting is indeed powerful, I later realized that doing it at the wrong time in my cycle led to terrible cramps, bloating, bad skin and exhaustion. After deep research and self-experimentation, I found supplements, skincare practices, diet and fasting with your cycle can make all the difference—not just for longevity but for energy, beauty, and overall well-being. By syncing your skincare routine, fasting habits, and supplements with each phase of your cycle, you can achieve glowing, balanced skin all month long

Why Fasting is Essential for Longevity & Anti-Aging

Fasting activates autophagy, the body’s way of cleaning out damaged cells, including zombie cells (senescent cells) that no longer function properly but still linger, causing inflammation and disease. (Nature.com)

Here’s why fasting is a game-changer for health:
✅ Removes Senescent Cells: These aged cells contribute to aging, inflammation, and chronic disease. Fasting helps the body eliminate them. (cell.com)
✅ Boosts Stem Cell Production: After 24-72 hours of fasting, the body starts producing new stem cells, vital for tissue repair and rejuvenation. (MIT)
✅ Balances Blood Sugar & Insulin: Lowering insulin levels prevents rapid aging and metabolic disorders.
✅ Deepens Connection with the Creator: Many ancient traditions use fasting to enhance spiritual awareness, mental clarity, and inner peace.

But here’s the key: fasting at the wrong time in your cycle can backfire!

How to Fast According to Your Cycle

🩸 Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5): NO FASTING

Your body needs nutrients and energy as it sheds the uterine lining. Focus on nourishment instead.
➡ Eat warm, grounding foods like soups, bone broth, and root vegetables.
➡ Avoid extreme fasting; light intermittent fasting (12-hour overnight fast) is fine if you feel good.

➡ Increase Vitex berry from the Chaste Tree, Gaia Herbs adrenal support, Organic fenugreek, Organic turmeric, Organic hawthorn berry, Organic hawthorn leaf.

Everything i NEED during my time of the month 

 

🌱 Follicular Phase (Days 6-14): BEST TIME TO FAST

Estrogen is rising, making this the optimal time for fasting, metabolism, and brain function.
➡ Try 16-18 hours of intermittent fasting or a 24-hour fast once a week (sunrise to sunset).
➡ Support detox with liver-loving foods like lemon water, beets, and leafy greens.  I make myself a glass of water first thing, with organic lemon, cayenne pepper, cold pressed organic olive oil with some salt. Wow my happy place. Get my favorite olive oil here 

Everything i NEED and USE during my time of the month 

 

💫 Ovulatory Phase (Days 15-17): MODERATE FASTING

Your body is at its peak energy, but progesterone is starting to rise.
➡ Stick to lighter fasts (12-14 hours) and listen to your body.
➡ Focus on hydrating foods and electrolytes to avoid hormonal imbalances. I love LMNT Chile Flavor is my favorite and no sugar. GET it HERE

Everything i NEED during my time of the month 

🔥 Luteal Phase (Days 18-28): AVOID LONG FASTS

Progesterone is highest, and fasting too long can increase stress hormones, leading to cravings, bloating, and mood swings.
➡ Shorten fasting windows to 12 hours max (e.g., overnight fasting).
➡ Increase magnesium and zinc to reduce PMS symptoms. Ive included my favorite brands

➡ Increase Vitex berry from the Chaste Tree, Gaia Herbs adrenal support, Organic fenugreek, Organic turmeric, Organic hawthorn berry, Organic hawthorn leaf.

With Champïone’s high-frequency skincare, you can work with your body’s natural rhythms rather than against them, fostering harmony inside and out. Just as fasting must be synced with your cycle for real results, your skincare should follow suit.

Here’s what I’ve found works for me:

• Menstrual Phase: When my skin feels dry or sensitive, I rely on Salve It All for deep, soothing nourishment. It’s like wrapping your skin in a calming blanket.

• Follicular Phase: This is when I use Panacea Youth Serum to support skin renewal—my skin’s glow gets even better when I fast and layer this serum daily.

• Ovulatory Phase: During my most radiant time, I love pairing Panacea with our High Frequency Wand to really seal in hydration and amplify glow. I don't use the High Frequency Wand when i am bleeding as I am way too sensitive. 

• Luteal Phase: When breakouts or inflammation pop up, the Blemish Primer + a mini lymphatic ritual with the High Frequency Wand help me stay clear, calm, and grounded.

 

Your skin and cycle are always communicating—let’s listen.

How This Changed My Life

 

Once I started fasting in alignment with my cycle, I no longer felt drained or bloated. Instead, I felt clear-headed, full of energy, and more in tune with my body and spirit. Now, I do a weekly sunrise-to-sunset fast during my follicular phase, and I feel amazing!

Fasting isn’t just about looking younger—it’s about feeling vibrant, clear, and spiritually connected. When done the right way, it can transform your skin, mind, and energy levels while honoring your body's natural rhythms.

Are you ready to try cycle-synced fasting? ✨
