More and more people are searching online for terms like "manual for men", "living according to the woman's cycle", and "Fajah cycle". This is not a trend, but a shift. There is growing awareness of the influence of hormones on energy, behavior, and relationships.
At Killerbody Food, we believe that true health goes beyond nutrition alone. Hormones, mood, energy, and self-care play an essential role in this.
I am Fajah Lourens, founder of Killerbody Food, and it is from this vision that the Cycle Cards – Manual for Men were created.
No fixed rules, but recognition and understanding
Let this be clear from the start:
not every woman is the same. The female cycle varies per person, per life stage, and sometimes even per month. Yet, there are clear patterns that many women experience.
By understanding these patterns, there is room for:
-
more peace in relationships
-
less miscommunication
-
more self-acceptance
-
and more understanding from both sides
Not by explaining everything with "hormones," but by understanding when your body demands something different from you.
The four phases of the female cycle
The female cycle broadly consists of four phases that influence energy, emotions, and behavior:
Menstrual phase
A period of recovery and rest. Less energy, more need for quiet and self-care.
Follicular phase
Energy returns. Creativity, optimism, and planning are central.
Ovulatory phase
Social, powerful, communicative, and self-assured. Many women feel their best during this phase.
Luteal phase
More need for rest, clarity, and structure. More sensitive to stimuli and mood swings. This is often when PMS arises.
By recognizing these phases, behavior becomes less personal, and more mutual understanding develops.
Why the Cycle Cards were developed
The Cycle Cards – Manual for Men were developed to make this topic accessible, honest, and light.
Not preachy. Not vague. And certainly not medical.
The cards originated from personal experience but are designed for daily use, together or alone.
Each day of the cycle has its own card with:
-
recognizable situations
-
practical insights
-
humor and self-deprecation
-
tips on what helps (and what doesn't)
In addition, the set includes explanation cards about:
-
hormonal influences on mood and energy
-
PMS
-
common misunderstandings
-
and what you should or shouldn't say
What this has to do with Killerbody Food
Killerbody Food stands for working with your body, not against it.
This applies to nutrition, training, and mental health.
When women better understand their cycle, we often notice that:
-
self-criticism decreases
-
cravings are more understandable
-
energy dips feel less frustrating
-
health and weight loss become more sustainable
The Cycle Cards align seamlessly with this. They are not a separate product, but an extension of our vision on well-being.
Who are the Cycle Cards for?
-
For women who want to understand themselves better
-
For men who want to better support their partner
-
For couples who want more peace and connection
-
For anyone who wants to bring lightness to a serious topic
Finally
There is no perfect woman.
And no perfect man.
But understanding makes everything lighter.
The Cycle Cards. Manual for Men are available via Killerbody Food.
