Hello, thank you so much for your warm and welcoming videos. I have a question for you in this particular one how about if you are an older woman and you no longer have your period and haven’t had it for years. How do we know which cycle we are in can you answer this? Thank you for any help you can give me in the situation.
This was a great video! I loved learning about the sleep needs of women vs men. I've felt frustrated for years because I need 9 hours or so to feel functional, while my boyfriend needs 7 and he's fine. It's such a relief to learn that there's a good reason for this, and that it isn't that I'm lazy or something. Our bodies are working hard and they have a lot going on!
This video was like a warm hug that made me consider over a decade of unhealthy habits that our current generation are conditioned to have. The 1200 calories and MyFitnessPal, coming home after a work day and looking after my kids and then forcing myself to work out even though I just want to go to bed. This whole thing of waking up at 5am to be productive. Best video you have done ❤️
😂 I have aswell 1200 calories in MyFitnessPal, it's rare how I can relate with you when I live in another country in another culture 😊 internet is amazing
I love watching your vid os before I start my work @Jillz....I am experiencing a great change in my thought process and personality overall...it seems everything comes naturally. Thanks and may God bless you with everything you deserve🙌
WOW. I’ve never heard that women actually need more sleep! I’ve always felt that I’m at my best when I’ve had 9 hrs, but thought that was excessive and weird… since everyone always says adults (regardless of gender) need 7-8 hrs. I feel a lot better about it now, haha! 😂😅
So there’s a proportion of people who genetically need less sleep than average (4-6 hrs), and a proportion who need more (9+). Nothing to judge yourself for, just something to track for yourself and build into your routine. I’m naturally long cycle, went travelling with a short cycle friend - caused some issues initially but as we began understanding that we had this difference, we were able to work around it 😊
This video came at a great time. I love lifting and I’ve been consistently doing heavy lifting 4x a week for quite some time now. Last night I slept less than 5 hours, this morning I traveled back home before sunrise, after spending the weekend at my boyfriend’s. I got my period two days ago and all of that made me very tired. I was just now getting ready to hit the gym but decided to watch this video beforehand, and realized how completely tired I am, and that my body needs a break. I wouldn’t have been able to really apply myself at the gym today, and going to work later in the afternoon would’ve been miserable. So I’m taking a nap instead and going for a walk afterwards.
Wow the info on sleep blew my mind. My husband gets 7 hours a night (if he’s lucky) and is still productive all day long. Meanwhile, clocking at 8 hours, I still feel sleepy. Knowing there’s science behind it makes me feel so much better. Thank you!
this video came at the perfect time. i always feel so terrible when i’m not pushing to do every thing and being productive. i need to be more kind to myself and a great remainder to slow down when my body needs it.
Finally a UA-cam talking about women’s needs and working less! I’m 35 and have worked very hard most of my life. Until by chance I was having long periods of rest, and guess what? I noticed that when I work too hard I get depleted and life just doesn’t flow. When I get plenty of rest, I feel happy and joyful, and somehow a lot of things fall into place easily, no effort. The military-like discipline is a habit and reinforced by todays hustle and grind culture, wake up early, blah blah- it can be hard to let all of that go and trust the flow of life but I’ve had a lot of evidence to show that works better for us 🌷
I really needed this. I'm usually really tough on myself when I'm hungrier or when I'm not willing to exercise. I always think there's something wrong with me when I have less energy and just wanting to relax in bed, because on social media we're so used to see this perfect influencers who wake up early everyday, eat super clean and exercise.
When I was a child I struggled from obesity and I found myself as a victim because I couldn’t eat what I want and I need to choose healthy food. Now I am so thankful that I had problems with weight and because of that I started this journey
This is so random, but you reminded me when you said we aren't meant to eat like little birds. That was a thing adults used to say to me (though my issue wasn't necessarily that I didn't eat enough but that I was a picky eater). So one day I decided to do some research, and I found out that birds eat several times their body weight every day. 🤣 So it's not even accurate!
I always listen to my body. When I am tired instead of going to gym I go to bed early . The following day I feel refreshed and schedule my workout feeling energized. I wake up around 5:30 AM during weekdays and I am usually in bed by 9-9:30 PM. Sometimes around 8😊 Enjoy this video. Thanks Jillz. Good night 😘
Turning 30 this year and realized just how much I can’t continue to treat my body the way I have been. - Im a runner but kept getting sick because I would run even when I felt terrible and it broke my body down - full body weight training 3-4x a week - eating whatever I wanted. Constant coffee, minimal to no water daily - sleep whenever , usually less than 8 hrs BUT I’ve started prioritizing test and part of being healthy and listening to my body over the past few months and I’m shocked at the changes already! - I still run but I listen to my body each day to decide if it’s a good day to run or not, and there’s no judgement - traded in most of my weight lifting for yoga - continue to each intuitively while prioritizing protein and nutrient dense salads (I never thought I’d say that lol) - 2+ glasses of water a day - prioritize bedtime for 9hrs most nights I feel and look soooo much better! And it happened SO fast! It feels good and feels sustainable ❤️❤️❤️
This really resonates with me. I once had a male trainer push me too far during a workout even after I told him he was pushing too hard. I'm not a quitter so i pushed through, although unwilllingly. Afterwards, I felt so violated that I went home and cried.
Jill’s this video was so amazing. I felt my femininity increase just from watching it. At 35 I’m feeling more connected to my cycle and I love the idea of timing it.
For many times i felt very "gulty" for not feeling at the top of my energy during my period. At the moment i'm very into this topic, and i letteralty felt every single phase mentioned in this video. Thanks for that, and for being one of my fav youtubers who radiates feminine energy. Kisses from 🇮🇹 💖
thank you for your wisdom! 🦋I neglected my feminine journey for a while and went back to the hustling and overthinking state of mind. I'm slowly but surely going back to a calm place and trying to reconnect to my body again. Your videos are little gems to remind me of certain aspects that get easily lost in the masculine "being productive 24/7" culture
I know the feeling. I’ve noticed when I push myself to do one or two things that feel impossible, other things feel easier because it’s a confidence boost
I've been watching you for a while now and I really have to admit that you came into my life at the right time. I struggled with the same issues like you from having an autoimmune disease, taking the birth control pills for a long time and the hormonal consequences after I stopped taking it, didn't listen to what my body needs until I felt totally burned out. I already changed my habits to a very conscious level.. and you and your videos became such a highlight in my life. Especially everything about feminine energy and cycle syncing helped me a lot in the past months since I never realized how important these aspects are in a woman's life. THANK YOU Jillz for your great work! ✨ Much love from Vienna, Austria 💞
Thank you so much for this video! My mother was very absent during my teen years so I was basicly raised by my father who only knew how to raise boys. The advice my father gave to me when it came to health never worked in the long run compared to my brother. I knew that there was a difference between men and women but I never considered it to be THIS much difference. Youv'e really saved me and I'll make sure to teach this knowledge to my future daughter/s. ❤️
I adore your content 🥰 Something about the glorified hussle of waking up at a certain way time every day, the intense workout, just the same dang routine day after day has never sat right with me. I'm about to have my 3rd baby and I'm looking into ways I can truly care and nourish myself. This is wonderful. Thank you so much 💕
i seriously hate that i still have glorified the idea of waking up early. but im 25 and naturally wake up around 10 each day. it sucks because i feel behind but i've never been able to wake up early!
I started scheduling 8 hrs of sleep every night and for weeks it made me feel so much better. After that first few weeks my body just naturally wakes up after like 5 hrs or so. I of course tried going back to bed, all the other things, but it kept happening and I couldn't sleep more. My physical trainer advised me that not everyone is the same and often times if you are active and well fed/hydrated you may not need the "standard" 8 hrs that people recommend. He said to listen to YOUR body and get enough sleep but not to worry if that's less then what is advised.
I love your channel! As someone who is constantly operating in a hurry and stressed and in my masculine your channel makes me feel good to be a woman and reminds me how important it is to live in my womanhood
This was the video I meant to say about the In The Flo book so I’ll briefly as if there’s a way to get the info from this book without reading the obvious negativity towards men. We did this to ourselves, not men and I’ve had enough of the them vs us bs. Love your videos by the way 🥰
Based on all of this.. what are the jobs or careers best for women so we could be and live in harmony and synch with our natural self? Career woman here asking. Have a successful career but at the sacrifice of my health, disconnect from myself.. suppressing my sensitive side and when you described "forcing oneself to go to bootcamps".. it resonated with me in the sense of the things that i have to do for my career / job / within my industry
I think it is a GREAT reminder to make your decisions by your energy levels. It can make a change and it feels more natural. We live in such a pushy and fast living society. It is essential to slow down sometimes. Thank you for choosing great feminine topics 🪷 LOVE your content, Jillz 🙌🏻👏🏻🫶🏻
Funny how watching this video at different times in your cycle, different tips jump out at you. I have to get up each day at 6.30 to get to work on time, and I am SO ready for bed at 8pm!
Thank you for such an educational video, Jillz! The more aware I am about women's cycles, the more I feel how I ebb and flow with it all. And a lot of frustration and disappointment dissolve with the understanding that men and women are created differently. One habit I recommend is opening your windows every single day for at least 15min. I get up in the morning, open my window and get on with my morning routines (in my case it's breakfast and getting children ready for school) after they are gone, I make the bed that's had time to air out and close the windows. I air out also before bed in the evenings.
Thank you Jillz, this is a message that needs to spread. On all topics I'm following you. The intensity of workouts, the amount of food, the cycle syncing, the sleep and the crazy trend indeed of the 5 AM'ers club, etc. On all these domains the world literally gotton into a kind of masculine-male-biohacking obsession that is really detrimental for women. I mean, I have been into all of that crazy stuff some years ago: - I used to workout like crazy. Only afterwards, after landing in a long period of totally collapsing into a wreck, I realised what I did to my body: burning on average 1000 calories extra from working out (HIIT, biking everywhere to work, 10K steps, powertraining, power yoga, ... i was a steaming train!). Yet - shock - only 'drinking' 600 calories in green juice, because I read that green juice fasting was the way to lose weight healthy 😀Which is asolutely mindblowing torture to our bodies. Not if this happens by accident 1 day due to a a busy day. But I did it it for a year. Interchanging that routine with overeating episodes because the body ofcourse will scream for food. And then ending up in a surreal, unnoticeable cycle of anorexia-bulimia. I say unnoticeable because I did not look like the cliche anorexic person, though I was doing the typical attitude of the pathology, being at the start of that negative spiral, leading nowhere. Read that good: such days were at least minus 100 calories at the end of the day. It brings tears to my eyes I did that to my body. Shocking. I am not saying to count calories. I do say for all people in these kinds of patterns: do read your calories to realise what the hell you are doing to your body. - Constantly cold showers no matter what phase, mood, feeling, sleep amount. - Waking up earlier the better - because that is 'success'. All others are 'suckers' was the societal conclusion. I felt so guilty my whole life for needing more sleep than average. I 'interviewed' so many people on their sleep habits. Always left feeling like crazy that I neede 9 hours sleep. Then, I beated myself up, slept only 6 or 7 hours, because people said you get used to it. I tried that for years, yet I never gotten used to it. Only exhausted. Now I give myself: sleep. Simple. I must say that the hectic rat race world doesn't make it easy to do, but people like you help awaken everyone. Together we can decide to do differently. Doing the right thing instead of the circus act. - Working out no matter how I felt, sick, tired, on period, whatever I even worked out harder, 'because you cannot be a cry baby'. Then: kaboom: burnout, a severe one and a second one. Slowly slowly slowly I woke up. I learned that this is not normal. That the world of health & wellbeing is very masculine oriented. This is however not a problem. Men are not the problem. The issue is that some women took over the best thing for men and professed it as the way to go for everyone, including women. Instead of: listening to our own female bodies. I learned it the hard way. By experiencing it myself. These days I am happy that more & more people like you are spreading this message. To listen to our bodies. We don't have to do what men do (that's what they need to do), what the trends say, or what even other women proclaim as the truth. We just need to listen to our own intuitive soft female self, who knows the way. Thank you 🙏
I really appreciated your comments on the super-low calorie diet thing. I've struggled with my weight my whole life, and the whole diet mentality, which began very young, like five or even younger. I went on my first starvation diet at 8 or 9 years old (800 calories a day or less, mostly lettuce.) And introducing... a lifetime of eating disorders, yo-yo dieting, and more. Now I'm 56 and just feel I have finally gotten a handle on things over the last year. My wish for every other girl and woman on earth is to not have that journey, to focus on health and physical support, genuine self care, common sense, not extreme calorie deprivation, extreme exercise, diet mentality, etc. The billion-dollar diet industry is not actually interested in us getting healthy or maintaining a healthy body composition. If they were, they'd end up putting themselves out of business. No, they are interested in making their billions, which should tell us everything we need to know about DIETS.
LOVE the realistic truth of this. Also a fan of Huberman 🙋🏽♀ I feel so much better about being kind to my body and getting 8 - 10 hours of rest. I’m low key tempted to post this on my profile to validate my need for rest haha
Where were you 10 years ago?! I wrecked my hormones and completely burned myself out trying to do intense workouts 6+ days a week. I was eating pretty healthy, but I wasn't getting enough sleep, and I was under a lot of stress. I was a personal trainer then, and the other trainers were constantly telling me I wasn't doing enough (even though many of them knew I have PCOS and was struggling with infertility). It wasn't until I left there that I found out I also have an autoimmune disease. Always, always, ALWAYS listen to your BODY! If others don't get it, that's fine. They're just not your people. Now, I listen to my body with food, sleep, and movement, and I get outside as much as I can. I've been able to maintain a healthy weight for years (I actually love my body more than back then), and I feel good physically and mentally. Good luck to you all! Thanks again for the truly healthy and supportive content, Jillz! ✌🏻💛
This is the first video I watch from you and I just wanted to say thank you so so so much for all this valuable content and to remind me that being a woman does go through phases and to listen to those phases instead of forcing all the time. Thank you so much, you’re truly an angel and I’m definitely going to start implementing everything you talk about in this video. 😌❤️❤️❤️
Jillz, You are blowing my mind. This is great content and rings very true. I think I have been treating myself as if male and female are the same, with minimal empathy for my cycle. I love looking at things from different angles! Just put nurturing myself on my To Do list for today.
This video was so helpful, thanks for saying we sometimes need more sleep, food and rest and don’t have to workout throughout our whole period week. I often wondered why my exercise routine would falter during that week and now I understand and am more gentle with myself. What a big help this was!
wow i love this so much!! 2 years ago my period pains were so bad i couldnt walk, i decided to change my diet and work on my health and now they are much more managable, but still quite painful, i had some intense PMS symtms this time BUT i noticed that i was having them e..g i knew my mood changes might be because my period is coming, and it was! ao thats quite a big step for me, looking foward to being more awae of this
this is so true about the workouts !! I have lupus and I had a kidney transplant and sometimes I’ll take two dance classes a day and my body always regrets it. One class is more than enough 😭 😭
Thank you so much for this video. I loved how you mentioned to listen to your body. I think I often push myself way too much especially with exercise, get burnt out, and wonder why I can’t do much😅 great reminder!
I love tihs video, it makes so much sense all that you are saying... thanks Jillz!! 🥰 I was someone who was very discipline and work hard with no excuses, and I end it up feeling so stress, anxious and depressed for a few years, I did not know what was wrong with me... until I went to theraphy and put in order some of my core values and way of thinking and doing things, much more focus on a femenine way of living, rather than being on my masculine energy all the time. I am still learning a lot and adjunting my rutines to this new way of living, today I definetely take some insigns with me that I am definetly going to apply!! sending you lots of love from Barcelona THANK YOUUU ❤
wow, i don't even know what to say...just thank you for so much-needed video to understand what is beeing healthy and how to include some life changing habits! I personally love how simple but in detail you are decribing cycle syncing and the importance of balance♥♥
Hi Jillz. Great video. Remember to include the dosha body type some one is. This includes vata, pitta, kapha ( most will be a blend of the two) as that all contributes to amount of sleep someone needs, natural metabolic rate, even eating habits and preferences as well as innate temperament. Since you know about moon cycles you should also look into astrology ( the vedic, sidereal system) to find about your moon sign and many other important placements that affect someone's energy. 😀
Omygosh!!!!! Yes i did MIxed Martial arts for 5-6 days a week for a year i did loose hair, anxious, depreesed, and tired, snd very light period sometimes none at all.!!!il i stopped and toke a month off and walked felt so much better.
I believe i manifested your video because the two photos you chose for your presentation video are the two exact photos of my vision board! Thank you so much for the video, loved it
I am a female surgeon and work night shifts, which brings an extra disturbing dimension to your cycle. Before, I pushed myself into exercising etc. and was disappointed when I was tired, it took me a while to be able to let go of it but it is much better to do so
Love in the flo 😊 Cycle syncing changed my life! It has truly allowed me to connect deeper in my body and spirit, and I agree. It’s crazy young girls aren’t taught this at all, and left to rely on birth control and meds and told it’s all “normal”. I really believe the medical system has failed women especially. It’s def inspired me to help educate other women about it. Thank you for creating this video!
So glad you liked it!! And yes that book completely changed my life and made me look at my body differently. I think cycle syncing is becoming a lot more popular though which I’m happy about 🥰
Hey @JillzGuerin I know this is an older video but, I've only discovered your channel this afternoon and I'm now eating into my sleep time cause I can't stop watching/listening to your videos😅 I have two daughters they're 8 and 9. Im so glad ive come across this video feel like i have much more direction and what must be included in the becoming a women talk when the time comes. Can't thank you enough for that; really wish we'd have had this insight when we were going through the motions. You will be a fabulous mother when the time comes, anyone could see that miles away ❤ I was in an abusive relationship with the girls father for 8 years, finally left for the last time 5 years ago now bald because, through the stress/trauma alopecia areola had set in a couple years before. I had to build myself back up, I'm still working on a lot however I have a full head of hair and started coming back just months after leaving! I've found some amazing people and their channels that have helped guide me through my journey and I have got there I'm functioning again, not scared of my own shadow or running on my nerves the same. So in the grand scheme of things my life has improved tenfold but there's still been something missing or off, keeping my mind positive and on track to remember all the things i was putting in place then forgetting by the next morning when ive woken up an then start again 2 days later and remember all the things I said I were going to start😅 ive defiantly got there in many aspects and I am proud of that. I don't really know how to explain it really but I feel like I worry so much about my daughters when they come to date when they're older. I thought I had my life mapped out and there were gonna be no stopping me I wanted to go pro in Show jumping and had the ability to aswell but I met him and within months it was all gone my hopes and dreams were shattered and that was it then my living nightmare for so long. Some women never manage leave or stay longer but i cant help but go back and wonder at what point did he have me and my mind so i had no other choice but to stay and believe thats what love was. I know we shouldnt dwell and re live the past too much, focus on the future and try not to be brought down but i think if it happened to me, who i thought i were so strong and like i said everything mapped out and yet it went so drastically wrong and I wasn't able to make the right choices...which finally brings me to my worry of how do I make sure/prevent my girls falling victim to the same situation. I'd like to think I'll have given them the right tools/guidance, enough to ensure theyre well set in thier minds to never allow that sort of behaviour but what if I dont and it happens to them. I want them to remain the super sassy strong girls they are and never ever lose that. Sorry I'm really really rambling on here but yeah Jillz I have literally hung off your every word today and feel like between what I pass on and your videos I might just stand a chance at keeping them safe and guiding them not only with boundaries and keeping strong where men are concerned but so so many other tips on topics that aren't talked about unless you know that it's a thing and then go find info yourself. I never knew about affirmations or manifesting until I'd left but I had to get online and find the solution myself because I didn't want to take tablets to make me better I wanted myself to be back whole and be able to cope with anxiety etc without a pill. Obviously I had done but I didn't want that to be something I had to rely on forever. I do still question myself a lot like should I say this to the girls or not in case I'm setting them up to fail if I'm wrong cause I got it so wrong. Most of the women in my family, who I always thought they were right about everything were in similar situations and it was a cycle that was normalised so I just thought it was stand by your man throughout it all. Which is absolutely not acceptable and it took so long to break that cycle and keep it broken, totally re train my mind that we women don't just have to cater to a mans every need and have no voice like were living decades before. I've literally gone on for so long now, but I feel like I've come across a channel today so valuable to me and the life I want to create for my girls that I couldn't help but comment granted far too long of a comment 😂(I've never commented before on anyones channel) I know that the same small things that affect me daily because I'm not all that organised or know the right way of doing things; are going to improve. The way you break things down and talk about masculine energy, I've really been able to understand it a lot more. Maybe that's how I'm stuck in this worrying about things happening in the girls future and potentially spoiling things before they've even started because of my worries I don't want to put downers in place for them unnecessary. I feel like I'm gonna be manifesting bad things to happen to them if I keep thinking these things so yeah I think just press play on your channel and they can't go far wrong! 😂😂 I definitely won't be offended or surprised if I dont get a reply or you even read it at all lol I haven't commented for a reply, purely to say how grateful I am and I will now follow you for as long as your here. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
THANK YOU! This video came for me at the perfect time, I loved how you explained the phases. I've listened to 3 other videos before about a woman's cycle and they left me feeling confused. Your explanations were so clear. All of your advice is greatly appreciated 🙏🏽🧡✨
Girl, I’ve been BINGEING your videos for the past 24 hours. Do you have any book recommendations that talk more about feminine energy and strength and self improvement? Or any other sources you’re pulling from would be awesome!
The book the deepest well talks about rates of cortisol being high in children with ace test scores that are higher than they should be and therapy can help this for those who have had lots of stressful situations in their life, along with all of the things you mentioned. Thank you for the video!
I was wondering what your thoughts are on products like period cups, reusable pads, and stuff. My little sister has wanted to try those things for a few years now, but I never gave much thought to them until I started watching your videos and am trying to learn to be more in tune with my body.
Absolutely loving these videos! Would actually love to hear/see vidoes for young girls health and how to support their growing bodies properly as mini women.
I sleep less and feel better. I was naturally waking up after 6 or 7 hours- then forcing myself to go back to sleep- thinking it was healthier to sleep more. I followed a sleep Dr who said, for some, 7 hours is the new 8. He said that oversleeping can lead to depression. I have been sleeping for 7 hours for years now and love the longer days, more energy, more time to live and make art, and less depression. I can sleep when I’m dead lol. I think the take away is listen to your body- some women need less sleep, some need more. Too many factors to list
Wow thank you so much for this video Jillz it’s very important for me as a young women sometimes I forget to go outside just for some fresh air and tuning Into my inner self. ❤
i love this video and your content so much!! just wanted to say as someone who is only 4’10 and 100lb, 1200 calories can absolutely be enough food. everyone’s different ❤️
This video was not what I expected, and I like that. I recently had a Hystrectomy because my estrogen hormones decided to try to off me lol. So I no longer have a "cycle" but I am willing to bet there is still whispers of a cycle left behind. Was also interested in the sleep thing because currently my sleep schedulle has been the suck. I normally get outside every day because I have a horse, and he makes me move and be present and outside, Before I had surgery I went out in the mornings more often, I need to start doing that again.
i loveddddd this video so much. I've been trying to make myself healthy and a lot of other advices have made me anxious and i fear trying them out. But your idea about easing and being gentle with ourselves, it's what I really needed to hear. Thankyou so much ❤️
I absolutely love every video of yours and this one is just so practical and therapeutic. And the being in nature part is sooooo true i have seen huge difference in my mood when I stroll through the neighbourhood and the days when I dont! Thank you please keep making more videos.
I will say that 1200 calories is not for everyone, but it IS for some people. If you're a short woman and you're not super super active, 1200-1300 calories might be the only way to create a deficit. People always bring up the "toddler" thing but women are adults, who are not constantly growing the way a toddler does. If you ate calories proportional to what a toddler eats for their size and weight, you would end up overweight fairly quickly.
Moon cycle actually refers to your period syncing to the moon cycles (full moon / quarter moon / new moon / etc). Often times your cycle will cycle to the moon cycles so for example, the full moon is when you should release things and that's generally when my period starts. New moon is when you want to manifest changes and start new things and often that will sync up to when I'm ovulating
As 5’1 women, 1200 is absolutely too much food for me. I track my heath with myfitnesspal, scale that tracks muscles and fat composition (along with other stats, and Apple Watch. My base level calorie burning is 1200, I hate this lie that it’s SO dangerous and “tHaTS ThE CaLoRiC NeEdS oF a ToddLer”😵💫. If I followed that advise I wouldn’t have lost 20+ pounds and gained muscle and felt the best I’ve felt in such a long time.
Great video! I was thinking how much I wish I knew this when I was younger. I will definitely teach my teen daughter about cycle syncing. Do you have any recommendations on habits for older women going through perimenopause and cycles are becoming irregular?
Definitely a good idea to track your cycles so you know what phase you're in if it's more irregular! You can do this with a basal body thermometer and taking your temp first thing every morning. There's a lot of info about it online! That way you can tell when/if you're ovulating and that will help a ton!
Hi Jill, I subscribed a couple of weeks, and I find your videos very interesting. You can tell, you really know what you are talking abou. Here is one question: Could you do a video about soulmates? You inspire us women!
The part about exercise is SO accurate. I went through a phase a couple years ago where I became obsessed with being in the gym and working out "like a man", heavy lifting, pushing myself to extremes. And sure enough, 2 years into that, my mind and body both completely shut down from stress. Now, I hit the gym twice a week taking group classes, and then my exercises include walking my dog, rollerskating, bike riding, mat pilates, and yoga. This changed EVERYTHING! I feel so much healthier while feeling so much more feminine. If anyone is looking for tricks regarding "diet", a couple of things that changed the game for me included staying hydrated, and eating 2 servings (half a dinner plate) of veggies with my meal. And don't forget, if you are what you eat, then dessert makes you sweet 😉🥰
True. I have done this for 4 years. The first 2 years i did feel great but once i did built muscle ,the rest following was losing my period,stress& less sleep. I know. The contrary to what i was execting. But i also have high cholesterol so i do need to do workouts to keep my health optimal at the same time avoid stressing from the workout itself .like what the hell 😳 😢
i love these habits! all of your videos are so inspiring, and are helping me create my desired life. regarding cycle synching, how does that work for someone with PMS or hormonal issues? my body doesn't shed it's natural lining once a month so it's hard to tell where i am in my cycle.
Hey Jillz! Thank you for the menstrual cycle breakdown you did for us, it was super helpful! Do you have any tips for menstrual pain during the first and second bleeding days? I always wanted to stay away from painkillers and maybe tune in with myself during those heavy days, but the pain is always in the way 😭
Working as a school bus driver has really made me appreciate sleep haha. I have to wake up at 5 and going to bed even at 9 is not enough. I do wish I could do the morning light tip, but the sun does not rise until I’ve been up for like 3 hours already 😂

Hello, thank you so much for your warm and welcoming videos. I have a question for you in this particular one how about if you are an older woman and you no longer have your period and haven’t had it for years. How do we know which cycle we are in can you answer this? Thank you for any help you can give me in the situation.
This was a great video! I loved learning about the sleep needs of women vs men. I've felt frustrated for years because I need 9 hours or so to feel functional, while my boyfriend needs 7 and he's fine. It's such a relief to learn that there's a good reason for this, and that it isn't that I'm lazy or something. Our bodies are working hard and they have a lot going on!
This video was like a warm hug that made me consider over a decade of unhealthy habits that our current generation are conditioned to have. The 1200 calories and MyFitnessPal, coming home after a work day and looking after my kids and then forcing myself to work out even though I just want to go to bed. This whole thing of waking up at 5am to be productive. Best video you have done ❤️
So glad it resonated with you 😘😘😘
❤❤
😂 I have aswell 1200 calories in MyFitnessPal, it's rare how I can relate with you when I live in another country in another culture 😊 internet is amazing
I love watching your vid os before I start my work @Jillz....I am experiencing a great change in my thought process and personality overall...it seems everything comes naturally.
Thanks and may God bless you with everything you deserve🙌

WOW. I’ve never heard that women actually need more sleep! I’ve always felt that I’m at my best when I’ve had 9 hrs, but thought that was excessive and weird… since everyone always says adults (regardless of gender) need 7-8 hrs. I feel a lot better about it now, haha!
😂😅
Haha I feel best with 8.5 to 9 hrs too! Gotta listen to what our bodies need 💕💕
so weird! i feel like when i get less sleep i feel better but when i get less i feel worse!
Me too, I need 10 hours to feel my best hahahah
me too!!
So there’s a proportion of people who genetically need less sleep than average (4-6 hrs), and a proportion who need more (9+). Nothing to judge yourself for, just something to track for yourself and build into your routine. I’m naturally long cycle, went travelling with a short cycle friend - caused some issues initially but as we began understanding that we had this difference, we were able to work around it 😊
This video came at a great time. I love lifting and I’ve been consistently doing heavy lifting 4x a week for quite some time now. Last night I slept less than 5 hours, this morning I traveled back home before sunrise, after spending the weekend at my boyfriend’s. I got my period two days ago and all of that made me very tired. I was just now getting ready to hit the gym but decided to watch this video beforehand, and realized how completely tired I am, and that my body needs a break. I wouldn’t have been able to really apply myself at the gym today, and going to work later in the afternoon would’ve been miserable. So I’m taking a nap instead and going for a walk afterwards.
I’m 40 and finally not feel guilty about needing a bit more sleep. I tried all my adult life, but never made me feel my best! Love you Jillz💗
Wow the info on sleep blew my mind. My husband gets 7 hours a night (if he’s lucky) and is still productive all day long. Meanwhile, clocking at 8 hours, I still feel sleepy. Knowing there’s science behind it makes me feel so much better. Thank you!
this video came at the perfect time. i always feel so terrible when i’m not pushing to do every thing and being productive. i need to be more kind to myself and a great remainder to slow down when my body needs it.
Finally a UA-cam talking about women’s needs and working less! I’m 35 and have worked very hard most of my life. Until by chance I was having long periods of rest, and guess what? I noticed that when I work too hard I get depleted and life just doesn’t flow. When I get plenty of rest, I feel happy and joyful, and somehow a lot of things fall into place easily, no effort. The military-like discipline is a habit and reinforced by todays hustle and grind culture, wake up early, blah blah- it can be hard to let all of that go and trust the flow of life but I’ve had a lot of evidence to show that works better for us 🌷
🙏🏻❤
I really needed this. I'm usually really tough on myself when I'm hungrier or when I'm not willing to exercise. I always think there's something wrong with me when I have less energy and just wanting to relax in bed, because on social media we're so used to see this perfect influencers who wake up early everyday, eat super clean and exercise.
So true, eversince I understood my cycle all of this changed… no longer succumbing to what the media feeds us
When I was a child I struggled from obesity and I found myself as a victim because I couldn’t eat what I want and I need to choose healthy food. Now I am so thankful that I had problems with weight and because of that I started this journey
This is so random, but you reminded me when you said we aren't meant to eat like little birds. That was a thing adults used to say to me (though my issue wasn't necessarily that I didn't eat enough but that I was a picky eater). So one day I decided to do some research, and I found out that birds eat several times their body weight every day. 🤣 So it's not even accurate!
Hahaha love that 😂😂
I low key love that you looked that up :)
I always listen to my body. When I am tired instead of going to gym I go to bed early . The following day I feel refreshed and schedule my workout feeling energized. I wake up around 5:30 AM during weekdays and I am usually in bed by 9-9:30 PM. Sometimes around 8😊
Enjoy this video. Thanks Jillz. Good night 😘
Glad you liked it!! 😘
i've bee trying to listen to my body much more and it's been a game changer!
Turning 30 this year and realized just how much I can’t continue to treat my body the way I have been.
- Im a runner but kept getting sick because I would run even when I felt terrible and it broke my body down
- full body weight training 3-4x a week
- eating whatever I wanted. Constant coffee, minimal to no water daily
- sleep whenever , usually less than 8 hrs
BUT I’ve started prioritizing test and part of being healthy and listening to my body over the past few months and I’m shocked at the changes already!
- I still run but I listen to my body each day to decide if it’s a good day to run or not, and there’s no judgement
- traded in most of my weight lifting for yoga
- continue to each intuitively while prioritizing protein and nutrient dense salads (I never thought I’d say that lol)
- 2+ glasses of water a day
- prioritize bedtime for 9hrs most nights
I feel and look soooo much better! And it happened SO fast! It feels good and feels sustainable ❤️❤️❤️
It is so good that we are having these conversations. I wish we were taught this at puberty, think how different our lives could be.
Same thoughts; I also wish I had learned this when I was younger. Thank you so much, Jilz. Will probably invest in the book, too, now. xo
This really resonates with me. I once had a male trainer push me too far during a workout even after I told him he was pushing too hard. I'm not a quitter so i pushed through, although unwilllingly. Afterwards, I felt so violated that I went home and cried.
Jill’s this video was so amazing. I felt my femininity increase just from watching it. At 35 I’m feeling more connected to my cycle and I love the idea of timing it.
For many times i felt very "gulty" for not feeling at the top of my energy during my period. At the moment i'm very into this topic, and i letteralty felt every single phase mentioned in this video. Thanks for that, and for being one of my fav youtubers who radiates feminine energy.
Kisses from 🇮🇹 💖
So glad this video resonated with you 😘😘
i seriously had a break down my first day on my period. it's absolutely terrible and i completely shut down.
thank you for your wisdom! 🦋I neglected my feminine journey for a while and went back to the hustling and overthinking state of mind. I'm slowly but surely going back to a calm place and trying to reconnect to my body again. Your videos are little gems to remind me of certain aspects that get easily lost in the masculine "being productive 24/7" culture
This was so eye opening to me. I’m crying because I haven’t been taking care of my body as I should. Thank you so much for this. ♥️
I know the feeling. I’ve noticed when I push myself to do one or two things that feel impossible, other things feel easier because it’s a confidence boost
I've been watching you for a while now and I really have to admit that you came into my life at the right time. I struggled with the same issues like you from having an autoimmune disease, taking the birth
control pills for a long time and the hormonal consequences after I stopped taking it, didn't listen to what my body needs until I felt totally burned out. I already changed my habits to a very conscious level.. and you and your videos became such a highlight in my life. Especially everything about feminine energy and cycle syncing helped me a lot in the past months since I never realized how important these aspects are in a woman's life. THANK YOU Jillz for your great work! ✨ Much love from Vienna, Austria 💞
Omg I’m so happy my content has helped you!! Sending you love 💕💕
Thank you so much for this video! My mother was very absent during my teen years so I was basicly raised by my father who only knew how to raise boys. The advice my father gave to me when it came to health never worked in the long run compared to my brother. I knew that there was a difference between men and women but I never considered it to be THIS much difference. Youv'e really saved me and I'll make sure to teach this knowledge to my future daughter/s. ❤️
I adore your content 🥰 Something about the glorified hussle of waking up at a certain way time every day, the intense workout, just the same dang routine day after day has never sat right with me. I'm about to have my 3rd baby and I'm looking into ways I can truly care and nourish myself. This is wonderful. Thank you so much 💕
i seriously hate that i still have glorified the idea of waking up early. but im 25 and naturally wake up around 10 each day. it sucks because i feel behind but i've never been able to wake up early!
I started scheduling 8 hrs of sleep every night and for weeks it made me feel so much better. After that first few weeks my body just naturally wakes up after like 5 hrs or so. I of course tried going back to bed, all the other things, but it kept happening and I couldn't sleep more. My physical trainer advised me that not everyone is the same and often times if you are active and well fed/hydrated you may not need the "standard" 8 hrs that people recommend. He said to listen to YOUR body and get enough sleep but not to worry if that's less then what is advised.
We are not the same people every single day😭 i felt so understood. Cycle synking, i shall look into it for sure.
I love your channel! As someone who is constantly operating in a hurry and stressed and in my masculine your channel makes me feel good to be a woman and reminds me how important it is to live in my womanhood
This was the video I meant to say about the In The Flo book so I’ll briefly as if there’s a way to get the info from this book without reading the obvious negativity towards men. We did this to ourselves, not men and I’ve had enough of the them vs us bs.
Love your videos by the way 🥰
Based on all of this.. what are the jobs or careers best for women so we could be and live in harmony and synch with our natural self? Career woman here asking. Have a successful career but at the sacrifice of my health, disconnect from myself.. suppressing my sensitive side and when you described "forcing oneself to go to bootcamps".. it resonated with me in the sense of the things that i have to do for my career / job / within my industry
This vedio was a reality check.. I used to come back from 9 hour work and use to blame myself for not working out.. Thankyou
What you said about sleep an not to have waking up at 5:00 am was so relieving and reassuring. Thank you!
I think it is a GREAT reminder to make your decisions by your energy levels. It can make a change and it feels more natural. We live in such a pushy and fast living society. It is essential to slow down sometimes. Thank you for choosing great feminine topics 🪷 LOVE your content, Jillz 🙌🏻👏🏻🫶🏻
Funny how watching this video at different times in your cycle, different tips jump out at you. I have to get up each day at 6.30 to get to work on time, and I am SO ready for bed at 8pm!
Thank you for such an educational video, Jillz! The more aware I am about women's cycles, the more I feel how I ebb and flow with it all. And a lot of frustration and disappointment dissolve with the understanding that men and women are created differently.
One habit I recommend is opening your windows every single day for at least 15min. I get up in the morning, open my window and get on with my morning routines (in my case it's breakfast and getting children ready for school) after they are gone, I make the bed that's had time to air out and close the windows. I air out also before bed in the evenings.
Thank you Jillz, this is a message that needs to spread. On all topics I'm following you. The intensity of workouts, the amount of food, the cycle syncing, the sleep and the crazy trend indeed of the 5 AM'ers club, etc. On all these domains the world literally gotton into a kind of masculine-male-biohacking obsession that is really detrimental for women.
I mean, I have been into all of that crazy stuff some years ago:
- I used to workout like crazy. Only afterwards, after landing in a long period of totally collapsing into a wreck, I realised what I did to my body: burning on average 1000 calories extra from working out (HIIT, biking everywhere to work, 10K steps, powertraining, power yoga, ... i was a steaming train!). Yet - shock - only 'drinking' 600 calories in green juice, because I read that green juice fasting was the way to lose weight healthy 😀Which is asolutely mindblowing torture to our bodies. Not if this happens by accident 1 day due to a a busy day. But I did it it for a year. Interchanging that routine with overeating episodes because the body ofcourse will scream for food. And then ending up in a surreal, unnoticeable cycle of anorexia-bulimia. I say unnoticeable because I did not look like the cliche anorexic person, though I was doing the typical attitude of the pathology, being at the start of that negative spiral, leading nowhere. Read that good: such days were at least minus 100 calories at the end of the day. It brings tears to my eyes I did that to my body. Shocking. I am not saying to count calories. I do say for all people in these kinds of patterns: do read your calories to realise what the hell you are doing to your body.
- Constantly cold showers no matter what phase, mood, feeling, sleep amount.
- Waking up earlier the better - because that is 'success'. All others are 'suckers' was the societal conclusion. I felt so guilty my whole life for needing more sleep than average. I 'interviewed' so many people on their sleep habits. Always left feeling like crazy that I neede 9 hours sleep. Then, I beated myself up, slept only 6 or 7 hours, because people said you get used to it. I tried that for years, yet I never gotten used to it. Only exhausted. Now I give myself: sleep. Simple. I must say that the hectic rat race world doesn't make it easy to do, but people like you help awaken everyone. Together we can decide to do differently. Doing the right thing instead of the circus act.
- Working out no matter how I felt, sick, tired, on period, whatever I even worked out harder, 'because you cannot be a cry baby'.
Then: kaboom: burnout, a severe one and a second one.
Slowly slowly slowly I woke up. I learned that this is not normal. That the world of health & wellbeing is very masculine oriented. This is however not a problem. Men are not the problem. The issue is that some women took over the best thing for men and professed it as the way to go for everyone, including women. Instead of: listening to our own female bodies.
I learned it the hard way. By experiencing it myself.
These days I am happy that more & more people like you are spreading this message.
To listen to our bodies. We don't have to do what men do (that's what they need to do), what the trends say, or what even other women proclaim as the truth.
We just need to listen to our own intuitive soft female self, who knows the way.
Thank you
🙏
Thank you for this reflection
I really appreciated your comments on the super-low calorie diet thing. I've struggled with my weight my whole life, and the whole diet mentality, which began very young, like five or even younger. I went on my first starvation diet at 8 or 9 years old (800 calories a day or less, mostly lettuce.) And introducing... a lifetime of eating disorders, yo-yo dieting, and more. Now I'm 56 and just feel I have finally gotten a handle on things over the last year. My wish for every other girl and woman on earth is to not have that journey, to focus on health and physical support, genuine self care, common sense, not extreme calorie deprivation, extreme exercise, diet mentality, etc. The billion-dollar diet industry is not actually interested in us getting healthy or maintaining a healthy body composition. If they were, they'd end up putting themselves out of business. No, they are interested in making their billions, which should tell us everything we need to know about DIETS.
LOVE the realistic truth of this. Also a fan of Huberman 🙋🏽♀ I feel so much better about being kind to my body and getting 8 - 10 hours of rest. I’m low key tempted to post this on my profile to validate my need for rest haha
Where were you 10 years ago?! I wrecked my hormones and completely burned myself out trying to do intense workouts 6+ days a week. I was eating pretty healthy, but I wasn't getting enough sleep, and I was under a lot of stress. I was a personal trainer then, and the other trainers were constantly telling me I wasn't doing enough (even though many of them knew I have PCOS and was struggling with infertility). It wasn't until I left there that I found out I also have an autoimmune disease. Always, always, ALWAYS listen to your BODY! If others don't get it, that's fine. They're just not your people. Now, I listen to my body with food, sleep, and movement, and I get outside as much as I can. I've been able to maintain a healthy weight for years (I actually love my body more than back then), and I feel good physically and mentally. Good luck to you all! Thanks again for the truly healthy and supportive content, Jillz! ✌🏻💛
This is the first video I watch from you and I just wanted to say thank you so so so much for all this valuable content and to remind me that being a woman does go through phases and to listen to those phases instead of forcing all the time. Thank you so much, you’re truly an angel and I’m definitely going to start implementing everything you talk about in this video. 😌❤️❤️❤️
Jillz, You are blowing my mind. This is great content and rings very true. I think I have been treating myself as if male and female are the same, with minimal empathy for my cycle. I love looking at things from different angles! Just put nurturing myself on my To Do list for today.
Love that 💕
Amazing, good for you! Love this content
i've definitely been treating myself like a male rather than female too. just learning to nuture myself
This video was so helpful, thanks for saying we sometimes need more sleep, food and rest and don’t have to workout throughout our whole period week. I often wondered why my exercise routine would falter during that week and now I understand and am more gentle with myself. What a big help this was!
Glad this video was helpful for you!! 🥰
learning to be so much more gentle with myself, we place so much pressure!
I just noticed and love the fact that your moon necklace kind of matches the subject of this video!❤❤❤
Me fascinated how the cycle syncs perfectly with why we do mikveh
your advice help me to more connect with my own female body & i can manage my life more naturally through my circle. thank you jillz :)
wow i love this so much!! 2 years ago my period pains were so bad i couldnt walk, i decided to change my diet and work on my health and now they are much more managable, but still quite painful, i had some intense PMS symtms this time BUT i noticed that i was having them e..g i knew my mood changes might be because my period is coming, and it was! ao thats quite a big step for me, looking foward to being more awae of this
This is all SO spot on! Especially loved the video about women needing more sleep than men.
So glad you liked it! 💕
this is so true about the workouts !! I have lupus and I had a kidney transplant and sometimes I’ll take two dance classes a day and my body always regrets it. One class is more than enough 😭 😭
Thank you so much for this video. I loved how you mentioned to listen to your body. I think I often push myself way too much especially with exercise, get burnt out, and wonder why I can’t do much😅 great reminder!
I love tihs video, it makes so much sense all that you are saying... thanks Jillz!! 🥰 I was someone who was very discipline and work hard with no excuses, and I end it up feeling so stress, anxious and depressed for a few years, I did not know what was wrong with me... until I went to theraphy and put in order some of my core values and way of thinking and doing things, much more focus on a femenine way of living, rather than being on my masculine energy all the time. I am still learning a lot and adjunting my rutines to this new way of living, today I definetely take some insigns with me that I am definetly going to apply!! sending you lots of love from Barcelona THANK YOUUU ❤
wow, i don't even know what to say...just thank you for so much-needed video to understand what is beeing healthy and how to include some life changing habits! I personally love how simple but in detail you are decribing cycle syncing and the importance of balance♥♥
Hi Jillz. Great video. Remember to include the dosha body type some one is. This includes vata, pitta, kapha ( most will be a blend of the two) as that all contributes to amount of sleep someone needs, natural metabolic rate, even eating habits and preferences as well as innate temperament. Since you know about moon cycles you should also look into astrology ( the vedic, sidereal system) to find about your moon sign and many other important placements that affect someone's energy. 😀
Omygosh!!!!! Yes i did MIxed Martial arts for 5-6 days a week for a year i did loose hair, anxious, depreesed, and tired, snd very light period sometimes none at all.!!!il i stopped and toke a month off and walked felt so much better.
I believe i manifested your video because the two photos you chose for your presentation video are the two exact photos of my vision board! Thank you so much for the video, loved it
I am a female surgeon and work night shifts, which brings an extra disturbing dimension to your cycle. Before, I pushed myself into exercising etc. and was disappointed when I was tired, it took me a while to be able to let go of it but it is much better to do so
Love in the flo 😊 Cycle syncing changed my life! It has truly allowed me to connect deeper in my body and spirit, and I agree. It’s crazy young girls aren’t taught this at all, and left to rely on birth control and meds and told it’s all “normal”. I really believe the medical system has failed women especially. It’s def inspired me to help educate other women about it. Thank you for creating this video!
So glad you liked it!! And yes that book completely changed my life and made me look at my body differently. I think cycle syncing is becoming a lot more popular though which I’m happy about 🥰
omg no way, i need to try this!
Hey @JillzGuerin I know this is an older video but, I've only discovered your channel this afternoon and I'm now eating into my sleep time cause I can't stop watching/listening to your videos😅 I have two daughters they're 8 and 9. Im so glad ive come across this video feel like i have much more direction and what must be included in the becoming a women talk when the time comes. Can't thank you enough for that; really wish we'd have had this insight when we were going through the motions. You will be a fabulous mother when the time comes, anyone could see that miles away ❤ I was in an abusive relationship with the girls father for 8 years, finally left for the last time 5 years ago now bald because, through the stress/trauma alopecia areola had set in a couple years before. I had to build myself back up, I'm still working on a lot however I have a full head of hair and started coming back just months after leaving! I've found some amazing people and their channels that have helped guide me through my journey and I have got there I'm functioning again, not scared of my own shadow or running on my nerves the same. So in the grand scheme of things my life has improved tenfold but there's still been something missing or off, keeping my mind positive and on track to remember all the things i was putting in place then forgetting by the next morning when ive woken up an then start again 2 days later and remember all the things I said I were going to start😅 ive defiantly got there in many aspects and I am proud of that. I don't really know how to explain it really but I feel like I worry so much about my daughters when they come to date when they're older. I thought I had my life mapped out and there were gonna be no stopping me I wanted to go pro in Show jumping and had the ability to aswell but I met him and within months it was all gone my hopes and dreams were shattered and that was it then my living nightmare for so long. Some women never manage leave or stay longer but i cant help but go back and wonder at what point did he have me and my mind so i had no other choice but to stay and believe thats what love was. I know we shouldnt dwell and re live the past too much, focus on the future and try not to be brought down but i think if it happened to me, who i thought i were so strong and like i said everything mapped out and yet it went so drastically wrong and I wasn't able to make the right choices...which finally brings me to my worry of how do I make sure/prevent my girls falling victim to the same situation. I'd like to think I'll have given them the right tools/guidance, enough to ensure theyre well set in thier minds to never allow that sort of behaviour but what if I dont and it happens to them. I want them to remain the super sassy strong girls they are and never ever lose that. Sorry I'm really really rambling on here but yeah Jillz I have literally hung off your every word today and feel like between what I pass on and your videos I might just stand a chance at keeping them safe and guiding them not only with boundaries and keeping strong where men are concerned but so so many other tips on topics that aren't talked about unless you know that it's a thing and then go find info yourself. I never knew about affirmations or manifesting until I'd left but I had to get online and find the solution myself because I didn't want to take tablets to make me better I wanted myself to be back whole and be able to cope with anxiety etc without a pill. Obviously I had done but I didn't want that to be something I had to rely on forever. I do still question myself a lot like should I say this to the girls or not in case I'm setting them up to fail if I'm wrong cause I got it so wrong. Most of the women in my family, who I always thought they were right about everything were in similar situations and it was a cycle that was normalised so I just thought it was stand by your man throughout it all. Which is absolutely not acceptable and it took so long to break that cycle and keep it broken, totally re train my mind that we women don't just have to cater to a mans every need and have no voice like were living decades before. I've literally gone on for so long now, but I feel like I've come across a channel today so valuable to me and the life I want to create for my girls that I couldn't help but comment granted far too long of a comment 😂(I've never commented before on anyones channel) I know that the same small things that affect me daily because I'm not all that organised or know the right way of doing things; are going to improve. The way you break things down and talk about masculine energy, I've really been able to understand it a lot more. Maybe that's how I'm stuck in this worrying about things happening in the girls future and potentially spoiling things before they've even started because of my worries I don't want to put downers in place for them unnecessary. I feel like I'm gonna be manifesting bad things to happen to them if I keep thinking these things so yeah I think just press play on your channel and they can't go far wrong! 😂😂 I definitely won't be offended or surprised if I dont get a reply or you even read it at all lol I haven't commented for a reply, purely to say how grateful I am and I will now follow you for as long as your here. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
THANK YOU! This video came for me at the perfect time, I loved how you explained the phases. I've listened to 3 other videos before about a woman's cycle and they left me feeling confused. Your explanations were so clear. All of your advice is greatly appreciated 🙏🏽🧡✨
I just love the way you talk and present yourself, you really give me nice energy
Girl, I’ve been BINGEING your videos for the past 24 hours. Do you have any book recommendations that talk more about feminine energy and strength and self improvement? Or any other sources you’re pulling from would be awesome!
The book the deepest well talks about rates of cortisol being high in children with ace test scores that are higher than they should be and therapy can help this for those who have had lots of stressful situations in their life, along with all of the things you mentioned. Thank you for the video!
I was wondering what your thoughts are on products like period cups, reusable pads, and stuff. My little sister has wanted to try those things for a few years now, but I never gave much thought to them until I started watching your videos and am trying to learn to be more in tune with my body.
Although I don't believe in energy stuff (sun and moon etc) , I think this video is quite informative and life changing 🌷
Appreciate your efforts
💕💕
I need to watch this again and keep notes! 😲
Absolutely loving these videos! Would actually love to hear/see vidoes for young girls health and how to support their growing bodies properly as mini women.
I sleep less and feel better. I was naturally waking up after 6 or 7 hours- then forcing myself to go back to sleep- thinking it was healthier to sleep more. I followed a sleep Dr who said, for some, 7 hours is the new 8. He said that oversleeping can lead to depression. I have been sleeping for 7 hours for years now and love the longer days, more energy, more time to live and make art, and less depression. I can sleep when I’m dead lol. I think the take away is listen to your body- some women need less sleep, some need more. Too many factors to list
I love that you talked about cycle syncing ❤️ this information is so needed and revolutionary
Wow thank you so much for this video Jillz it’s very important for me as a young women sometimes I forget to go outside just for some fresh air and tuning Into my inner self. ❤
I especially liked the part about grounding! You are always bringing valuable information to us, thank you!
I feel like I’m getting advice from the big sister I never had
💜💜💜
same, she's so good :)
i love this video and your content so much!! just wanted to say as someone who is only 4’10 and 100lb, 1200 calories can absolutely be enough food. everyone’s different ❤️
This video was not what I expected, and I like that. I recently had a Hystrectomy because my estrogen hormones decided to try to off me lol. So I no longer have a "cycle" but I am willing to bet there is still whispers of a cycle left behind. Was also interested in the sleep thing because currently my sleep schedulle has been the suck. I normally get outside every day because I have a horse, and he makes me move and be present and outside, Before I had surgery I went out in the mornings more often, I need to start doing that again.
Listening to you feels like healing 💓

i loveddddd this video so much. I've been trying to make myself healthy and a lot of other advices have made me anxious and i fear trying them out. But your idea about easing and being gentle with ourselves, it's what I really needed to hear. Thankyou so much ❤️
This is so great. THANK YOU for talking about all of this!! Women are so sacred and majestic ✨️
Girl!!! You say everything that is in my heart! I resonate with you so much! Thank you for the amazing video
Thank you , loving the alternative perspective on productivity 😊
This video is so insightful! I watched a number of videos about women health but still learned A LOT from this one. Thank you so much! ❤
I absolutely love every video of yours and this one is just so practical and therapeutic. And the being in nature part is sooooo true i have seen huge difference in my mood when I stroll through the neighbourhood and the days when I dont! Thank you please keep making more videos.
Beautifully said! 🌷This is a video every teenage girl needs to hear!
Thank you!! And agreed!!
i agree, wish people were able to teach us this!
I will say that 1200 calories is not for everyone, but it IS for some people. If you're a short woman and you're not super super active, 1200-1300 calories might be the only way to create a deficit. People always bring up the "toddler" thing but women are adults, who are not constantly growing the way a toddler does. If you ate calories proportional to what a toddler eats for their size and weight, you would end up overweight fairly quickly.
Moon cycle actually refers to your period syncing to the moon cycles (full moon / quarter moon / new moon / etc). Often times your cycle will cycle to the moon cycles so for example, the full moon is when you should release things and that's generally when my period starts. New moon is when you want to manifest changes and start new things and often that will sync up to when I'm ovulating
As 5’1 women, 1200 is absolutely too much food for me. I track my heath with myfitnesspal, scale that tracks muscles and fat composition (along with other stats, and Apple Watch. My base level calorie burning is 1200, I hate this lie that it’s SO dangerous and “tHaTS ThE CaLoRiC NeEdS oF a ToddLer”😵💫. If I followed that advise I wouldn’t have lost 20+ pounds and gained muscle and felt the best I’ve felt in such a long time.
Thanks for this amazing video! You put into words something I’ve always felt deep in my heart as a woman!
You’re inspiring 💫
Great video! I was thinking how much I wish I knew this when I was younger. I will definitely teach my teen daughter about cycle syncing. Do you have any recommendations on habits for older women going through perimenopause and cycles are becoming irregular?
Definitely a good idea to track your cycles so you know what phase you're in if it's more irregular! You can do this with a basal body thermometer and taking your temp first thing every morning. There's a lot of info about it online! That way you can tell when/if you're ovulating and that will help a ton!
I watched ALL of your videos and I started to watch them again 😊 thanks for your wonderful energy you are sharing with us. Love you ❤
So educational and interesting and still so empathic.. I think for me this is one of your Best Videos, love it - thank you for IT!!❤
I’m not sure you are aware of the fact that how you positively enhance my mood with every video❤
It’s good thing to learn about in this day
Happy international women’s day💞
Omg! I am 38 and learning this right now 😂 thank you ❤
hi jillz! i love hearing your healthy take on moderation and self awareness when it comes to moon cycles! so so interesting!
Thanks for sharing, Jillz. Learning to listen (to really listen) our bodies is crucial for our well-being. You mentioned a lot of good points here. :)
Blessings to you for the work you are doing 🙏

Hi Jill,
I subscribed a couple of weeks, and I find your videos very interesting. You can tell, you really know what you are talking abou. Here is one question: Could you do a video about soulmates?
You inspire us women!
Great video and thanks for the reminders of what helps us women thrive.
The part about exercise is SO accurate. I went through a phase a couple years ago where I became obsessed with being in the gym and working out "like a man", heavy lifting, pushing myself to extremes. And sure enough, 2 years into that, my mind and body both completely shut down from stress. Now, I hit the gym twice a week taking group classes, and then my exercises include walking my dog, rollerskating, bike riding, mat pilates, and yoga. This changed EVERYTHING! I feel so much healthier while feeling so much more feminine.
If anyone is looking for tricks regarding "diet", a couple of things that changed the game for me included staying hydrated, and eating 2 servings (half a dinner plate) of veggies with my meal. And don't forget, if you are what you eat, then dessert makes you sweet 😉🥰
Your videos have really been helping me navigate though a difficult time. Thank you so much.
True. I have done this for 4 years. The first 2 years i did feel great but once i did built muscle ,the rest following was losing my period,stress& less sleep. I know. The contrary to what i was execting. But i also have high cholesterol so i do need to do workouts to keep my health optimal at the same time avoid stressing from the workout itself .like what the hell 😳 😢
THEY NEED TO TEACH THIS AT SCHOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so glad to hear about Huberman Lab here! Love the podcast!
Thank you for the time and thought put into this. You're the best girlie ❤
🥰❤️
i love these habits! all of your videos are so inspiring, and are helping me create my desired life. regarding cycle synching, how does that work for someone with PMS or hormonal issues? my body doesn't shed it's natural lining once a month so it's hard to tell where i am in my cycle.
Hey Jillz! Thank you for the menstrual cycle breakdown you did for us, it was super helpful! Do you have any tips for menstrual pain during the first and second bleeding days? I always wanted to stay away from painkillers and maybe tune in with myself during those heavy days, but the pain is always in the way 😭
To feel and to allow the pain to be there in this exact moment IS actually the „Tuning in“ you’re talking about my love ❤
Working as a school bus driver has really made me appreciate sleep haha. I have to wake up at 5 and going to bed even at 9 is not enough. I do wish I could do the morning light tip, but the sun does not rise until I’ve been up for like 3 hours already 😂
