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.

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.

Great information if you can get past man hating bits

It has been very useful and inspiring but has continuous male bashing and venting so far. It’s been very hard to get through. I wish she had talked about equality with more dignity and a some respect for the opposite sex. I was so excited in the beginning but soon left a bad taste in my mouth and now I’m trying to force myself through it. Seems like every wonderful part is backed up with a but venting about men. I hope a 2nd book or version comes out that would be empowering and less anti-patriarchy. A second book appropriate for young girls would be great but again hoping leaves out the negativity.

Excellent information and presentation

This has such eye opening and inspiring information! I like that it is speaking to women’s health in a way that is positive and not pushing a negative diet and exercise routine to look good.

It’s about doing things to help you feel better internally to lead a mentally and physically healthier life! I absolutely loved this book!

A must read for every menstruating woman!

I loved this book - awesome information that I should’ve learned 25 years ago. Every woman should read!

Life-giving read

Wow. I can’t begin to express how life changing this book is. Thank you Alisa for this life giving work! Years of misinformation about my biochemistry is being rinsed away. I can’t wait to implement these practices with myself, and my teenage daughter.

Very good book!!!! wow

I am in live with the hood and what j learned and found. wish to knew that when I was a teengaer ;)

This should be taught in school!

Everyone should know this information; even male bodied people. I especially loved the section about how female reproduction should have been taught in schools. Read this book now!

Read this!!!!

This gave me goosebumps the entire time… it’s exciting to have this vital information out there now. So grateful that Alissa switched her career to study this AND SHARE … this was incredible to listen to from a knowledge base and also that she actually read it and you could hear her smile when things she got really excited about reading. I LOVED THIS BOOK!! Her reading it was just a cherry on top… sometimes the voices who read the books make me cringe… hers was awesome because she had such intensity and fever reading about this life changing information. Only with I would have known it sooner 💗 thank you from the bottom of my heart🙏

Changed my life
