Hormones and Mood: Understanding the Emotional Weather of the Body
Feel different by your next period. Mood is data. Let’s decode it.
Why Women Start Two Moons
- More emotional steadiness before periods
- Less brain fog and mental fatigue
- A calmer, clearer luteal phase
- Natural ingredients to bolster your mood without harsh interventions
Your Mood Isn’t Random. It’s Data.
Mood is the sum of molecules, including hormones and neurotransmitters, memories, and meaning. These chemical messengers guide its ebb and flow, but mood is also shaped by how we eat, sleep, move, and relate.
For women, the menstrual cycle adds another dimension, making mood a dynamic, lunar-like rhythm. Tuning into these patterns, rather than resisting them, can empower us to live in sync with our bodies, not against them.
You’re not moody. You’re rhythmic.

Our capsules combine ancient knowledge, the ritual of seed cycling, plus modern hormone science to help calm irritability, boost clarity and stabilize highs and lows.
Two capsules a day to support your emotional balance, no harsh interventions.

Mood & Neurochemistry
Your mood is shaped by a constellation of neurotransmitters and hormones working together:
- Serotonin: Stabilizes mood, sleep, and appetite
- Dopamine: Fuels motivation and pleasure
- Norepinephrine: Keeps you alert and focused
- GABA: Calms the nervous system and reduces stress
- Endorphins: Create natural highs and pain relief
These neurotransmitters don’t work in isolation. They interact with hormones, especially estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and oxytocin, to shape how we feel and function.
When you support them, your mood follows.
How Estrogen, Cortisol & Oxytocin Shape How You Feel (and What to Do About It)
- Estrogen boosts serotonin and helps modulate mood. It often has a positive effect on energy, focus, and sociability.
- Progesterone, especially its metabolite allopregnanolone, has calming, sedative-like effects through its action on GABA receptors, but it can also cause mood swings or irritability in some.
- Cortisol, the stress hormone, impacts mood depending on whether it’s in balance. Chronically elevated cortisol can blunt pleasure, deepen fatigue, and amplify anxiety.
- Oxytocin, the bonding hormone, promotes feelings of trust and connection, and rises with physical touch and emotional closeness.

The Mood-Hormone Connection
Your mood flows with your hormonal cycle:
- Follicular phase (Days 1–14): Rising estrogen = better mood, energy, clarity
- Ovulation (Day ~14): Estrogen and serotonin peak = confidence, libido, sociability
- Luteal phase (Days 15–28): Rising and then falling progesterone = calm for some, low mood or PMS for others
- Menstruation: Emotional reset
Mood is cyclical, not chaotic, but intelligent.

What Affects Mood Beyond Hormones?
