Menstrual Cycle Studies
Menstrual Cycle Studies
So many people feel like they’re at the mercy of their menstrual cycle – lacking the roadmap to effectively navigate their moments of melancholy and bursts of inspiration. At the Evolution Lab, we’ve developed a platform to explore the impacts of the menstrual cycle on psychology, health and wellbeing. We're excited to help people understand themselves better, so they can own their experience and thrive. To find out more about our research in this area, see our publications page.

And here are some questions we're answering right now:
