Cycle syncing content blurring the lines between education and misinformation
Summary
This cycle syncing video shows how videos on this topic often both accurately describe phases of the menstrual cycle and broad hormonal fluctuations, but also make generalized medical claims and recommendations about “cycle syncing” that lack robust scientific support. It presents these practices as universally beneficial and a “thing most girls are missing,” without adequately clarifying that current scientific consensus does not endorse these claims. Also, as with many videos on the wellness space, cycle syncing content often primes users for further misinformation around contraception use by overemphasizing the importance for many of staying connected to your “natural” rhythm.
