Cover illustration for Cycle Syncing for Consistent Energy

What the AI found

Your client's energy dips consistently align with the mid-luteal phase, specifically days 21-23, when they typically report a 30% reduction in perceived energy levels and an increase in sleep duration by an average of 45 minutes.

Prompt

Analyse the provided anonymised client cycle data. Identify any consistent patterns between reported energy levels, mood, and sleep duration, and specific menstrual cycle phases (follicular, ovulatory, luteal, menstrual). Quantify any recurring trends with specific numbers or percentages if possible. Focus on identifying specific days within phases where significant shifts occur. Here is the data: [client data from spreadsheet, anonymised for privacy: 3 months of daily entries for 5 clients, including cycle day, reported energy (1-5), mood (keywords), sleep duration (hours)]

Can you help me identify patterns in client cycle data?

AI

Across multiple clients, your data suggests a statistically significant reduction in perceived energy during the mid-luteal phase, particularly between cycle days 21 and 23. Clients report an average 30% decrease in energy levels during this window, accompanied by an average increase in sleep duration by 45 minutes compared to their follicular phase baseline.

Before anything was set up

A nutritionist found herself spending considerable time manually reviewing client cycle tracking notes. Each client's weekly check-in involved sifting through disparate self-reported data on mood, energy, and physical activity, then cross-referencing it with their menstrual cycle phase. This anecdotal approach made it challenging to spot consistent patterns or offer truly precise, phase-specific recommendations quickly, often leading to generic advice rather than tailored adjustments.

Hacks Pass, doing its job

To streamline this, she turned to a familiar AI assistant. She crafted a detailed prompt, feeding it anonymised, structured client data from her practice management software. The AI's task was to identify recurring energy patterns linked to specific cycle phases. This approach aimed to move beyond individual data points to reveal overarching trends that could inform more effective, personalised recommendations for her clients.
