Publisher's summary

The best-selling author of WomanCode presents a biohacking program for women, teaching them how to use their natural 28-day cycle to optimize their time, diet, fitness, work, and relationships.

Women have a important biological rhythm they experience every month that affects productivity, weight, sex drive, energy, and mood. It is essential to be aware of and take care of this rhythm, but it has been widely ignored by medical, nutrition, and fitness research. So as women, we diet, we deprive, and we cram as much as possible into our day, striving to accomplish impossible to-do lists, and scheduling our lives based on a 24-hour time cycle, ignoring the intuitive time our bodies naturally keep: a monthly cycle with four hormonal phases that offer incredible advantages.

In the FLO presents a revolutionary four-week solution to manage your energy and time according to your female biochemistry. By working with each phase, you'll support your hormones, unlock peak creativity and performance, and avoid burnout. You'll know exactly when to eat certain foods, clear your social calendar, or ask for a raise - and you'll have the tools to do so, including:

• Meal plans and recipes for each phase
• Charts for phase-specific exercises, work tasks, and relationship activities
• A daily planner that helps you align with your strengths in each phase
• A biohacking toolkit for navigating period problems and hormonal birth control

Alisa Vitti, functional nutrition and women's hormone expert, best-selling author of WomanCode, and founder of modern hormone healthcare company FLOliving.com, has been teaching women how to reclaim their rhythm for nearly 20 years and has witnessed the incredible rewards it offers - including losing stubborn weight, regaining energy, clearing skin, and minimizing PMS. By getting In the FLO, you'll get more done with less effort, you'll feel better consistently throughout the month, and you'll enjoy the freedom that comes with living on your own time.

Get the text version instead!

This book is amazing and I highly recommend it for all women! However I feel like the text version would be more practical than the audio book because it includes charts and lists that would be more helpful in a visual format that you can use to reference back. If you do get the audio version I would suggest slowing it down just a tad. I set mine on 0.90 speed. It's read a little bit fast for the amount of information being given, I felt like the slightly slower speed gave me an opportunity to really absorb it all.

Good info, but repetitive

I will implement much of what I learned from Alisa Vitti and while I greatly appreciate the work she is doing, the book became pretty repetitive. Same phrases, same complaints about men. It took away from the empowering message for me and just became annoying. I have three daughters and plan to help them learn to harness the power of their cycles. I hope Alisa writes a book for teenage girls with a slightly toned down (or at the very least, less repetitive) feminist take.

Amazing! (Liberal cowtowing notwithstanding)

This book has been mind-blowing. I keep talking about it to everyone I know! My one complaint is her addressing transgender issues in a way that contradicts everything else she says. A book about biology should simply acknowledge biological realities, albeit with empathy toward those who feel at odds with their birth sex. But that is a minor complaint in what I think is an otherwise excellent book. Easily one of the top ten health books I have ever read.

Life Changing!!

I never write a review but this book change my mindset and helping me understand how my body works and how I can zinc into my cycle, I’m 31 yrs old and never heard about our 28 day cycle and how our periods, and hormonal changes impact our life.
It’s a must!! Highly recommend 👍

Facts for Whole, Well, Women's Lives

In dept facts & real lives experiences to live more Whole, Well, & Harmonious lives in the temple/body we're in. While it's full of straight knowledge there is some timely humor sprinkled throughout. If you are a female &/or would like to better live in harmony in a female body read & share this book. It includes the fundamentals of cycle syncing so we can take the best care of ourselves & leaves an understanding that results in peace, joy, & self-love through each phase of our day, cycle, & life.

Brings you home to yourself

Inspiring on so many different levels, a must-read for women who struggle to prove themselves and are trapped dealing with perfectionism, the modern society and its productivity cult.
The practical advice is essentially the same as in the author's other book, Woman Code, but the narrative is centered towards inspiring women to embark on a journey towards self-awareness and intuitive change. If you are not familiar with the author's other writings, this is a good introduction to her approach.

If you have a certain knowledge and interest in diets and health in general, you are likely to find health advice that goes against what you are convinced of. Regardless of that, you could still benefit from the advice. The point of this book is not to make you perfectly mimic the diet and exercise plans presented therein. Rather, the point is to make you aware of certain facts and patterns to make you redesign your lifestyle, and to encourage you to force less on your body and become more receptive to its moods. So if you take no practical advice from the book (though they are plenty and you will surely find something you can apply), you will at least find inspiration and precious lessons on how to reduce friction with your own body.

empowering!

this was a great read. powerful. if you have hormonal issues this is a roadmap to recovery

A must read

This is the second great book by Alisa. A must read for all women, all husbands and all fathers. Very educational and, literally for me, life changing. Thank you Alisa!

All I can say is Thank you.

No words to describe how grateful I feel for this information. I am in fact going through all the emotions described about not finding this book before, but I’m immensely excited and thankful for the opportunity to make a difference in my daughter’s life, and to enjoy however many years I have left of my cycle. Thank you for the work and dedication to put this together, life changing doesn’t cover it. 💛

Felt like a really long ad

Was really disappointed in this book. Lots of pseudoscience and self promotion of her “method” / business.
