When’s your energy at its worst?
Late evening, when I still can’t switch off
Mid afternoon, about an hour after lunch
The week before my period, more than any other time
Mornings, and it reads as low motivation more than tiredness
How would you describe your sleep?
I fall asleep fine, then wake around 3 AM
I sleep through but wake up unrefreshed
Fine most of the month, poor in the days before my period
Broken. I wake several times and can’t settle again
Back
What happens with cravings?
Salt, and something to take the edge off in the evening
Sugar, on a schedule, and it feels physical
Sugar and chocolate, mostly in the week before my period
Comfort food, on the days when everything feels like too much
Back
Where have you noticed body changes?
Around the middle, alongside feeling wired
Around the middle, alongside feeling heavy after meals
Bloating, water retention, and more on the hips and thighs
Less about my shape. It’s more that I’ve lost my spark
Back
How’s your thinking?
Racing. Too many tabs open, especially at night
Fine until I eat, then foggy
Clear most of the month, then scattered before my period
Flat. Not foggy, just no drive to start anything
Back
What’s your mood like?
Wired, on edge, quick to react
Irritable if a meal is late
PMS that arrives before I’ve worked out why
Low, anxious, and overwhelmed by small things
Back
How does exercise leave you feeling?
Wrecked for a day or two afterward
Fine, but nothing changes on the scale
It depends entirely where I am in my cycle
I want to, but I can’t find the drive to start
Back
Which sentence sounds most like you?
I’m running on adrenaline and I know it
I eat less than I used to and nothing moves
My periods and my skin both got harder to predict
Everything feels heavier than it should and I don’t know why

Your result
Type A
The Exhausted Achiever
Cortisol driven
Your answers point to a cortisol-driven pattern. Tired but wired, running on adrenaline through the day and unable to switch off at night.
What the protocol changes for you
Your stress tier starts at the deepest level from day one
Movement shifts toward strength and walking instead of high intensity
The wind-down is non-negotiable
Meal timing is used to head off the afternoon crash
Your result
Type B
The Sugar-Craving Staller
Insulin driven
Your answers point to an insulin-driven pattern. Cravings that feel physical instead of mental, and weight that won’t budge no matter what you change.
What the protocol changes for you
The plate structure leads with protein and fiber at every meal
A set eating window replaces all-day grazing
Lifting comes before cardio
Tracking connects specific meals to the crashes that follow
Your result
Type C
The Monthly Rollercoaster
Estrogen not clearing
Your answers point to an estrogen pattern. Symptoms that keep their own schedule, with the week before your period doing most of the damage.
What the protocol changes for you
Liver and gut support runs through the meal plan
Fiber and cruciferous vegetables are deliberate, not incidental
Blood sugar is steadied alongside the clearing work
The two skin chapters are the most relevant ones for you
Your result
Type D
The Depleted and On Edge
Progesterone running low
Your answers point to progesterone running low. Sleep went first, and most things since have felt heavier than they should.
What the protocol changes for you
The stress tiers and the wind-down come first, not last
Minerals and the foundational stack matter more than the targeted additions
Movement stays light enough to recover from
Nothing asks you to push harder on a system already running low
This result organizes your answers into the pattern they most resemble. It’s
educational content, not a diagnosis, and it doesn’t replace an assessment by a
qualified provider. Many women recognize themselves in more than one pattern,
which is normal.
