Kyri Unfiltered

Burning, stinging, urgency – if you’ve ever had a UTI, you know how quickly it can disrupt your entire day. These pesky infections can turn even the simplest moments, like drinking water or getting through a meeting, into a painful challenge. While kidney infections are more serious, bladder UTIs are by far the most common – and for many women, they’re not a one-off, but a recurring nightmare.

From frequent trips to the bathroom, painful urination, and that constant “need-to-go” feeling, to fatigue and discomfort that lingers, UTIs can take a real toll on your quality of life. The good news? Understanding what triggers them – and how to naturally support your urinary health – can make a world of difference.

In this blog, we’ll explore the root causes of UTIs, the role of your urinary microbiome, and practical ways to prevent and ease symptoms through lifestyle tweaks, nutrition, herbs, and natural therapies. Because you deserve relief – and a body that feels like home again.

🌸 Experiencing a miscarriage is a unique kind of heartbreak — the sharp turn from joy and anticipation to grief and loss is unlike anything else. Every woman’s journey through loss is deeply personal, and there’s no “right” way to heal or decide what comes next.

At Kyri Cycles, we believe the body deserves time, tenderness, and support as it recalibrates — whether through nourishing foods, rest, nervous system care, or gentle cycle tracking when you’re ready. Healing after loss isn’t just physical, it’s emotional too, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

💡 We’ve all been there—walking out of a GP appointment feeling rushed, dismissed, or frustrated. When it comes to women’s health and fertility, a 10–15 min slot often just doesn’t cut it. But here’s the good news: you’re not powerless. With the right prep, the right GP, and the right questions, you can turn your next appointment into a productive, empowering experience.

✨ In this blog, we share 8 practical tips to get the most out of your GP consult—from bringing hard data (hello BBT charts!) to knowing when it’s time to “break up” with your doctor.

Take back control of your health. 💪

💊 The pill has been around for 60+ years… but the myths about it? Still going strong.

Does it actually “regulate” your cycle? Cure PCOS? Save your eggs for later? 👀
Spoiler: nope.

It’s time to set the record straight on what the pill really does (and doesn’t do) for your body + fertility.

✨ Read on as we bust 3 of the biggest pill myths you’ve definitely heard before.

Body literacy is more than just knowing when your period is due—it’s about learning the unique language of your cycle and understanding the powerful signals your body sends throughout the month. By tuning into your hormonal shifts and cycle patterns, you unlock a deeper connection with yourself, paving the way for informed choices, better health, and true empowerment.

With tools like the Kyri Cycles Kyri Ring, tracking your body’s rhythms becomes seamless and insightful. This innovative wearable captures your basal body temperature, heart rate, and variability while you sleep, giving you personalised insights that support fertility, training, nutrition, and overall well-being.

Your menstrual cycle isn’t something to dread—it’s a built-in guide to living more in tune with your body. Embrace body literacy, harness the wisdom within, and step confidently into a more empowered version of yourself.

When it comes to health, most of us have heard of the gut microbiome—those tiny critters in our digestive system that influence everything from immunity to mood. But did you know your reproductive system has its very own microbiomes too? Yes, that’s right—the vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, and even ovaries each host their own unique microbial communities. And men aren’t left out either—the seminal microbiome plays a role too!

One of the most fascinating and important of these is the vaginal microbiome. This community of bacteria, fungi, and viruses isn’t just “living rent-free”—it actively protects your vaginal environment by maintaining an acidic pH that defends against infections and inflammation. But when things get out of balance (a state called dysbiosis), it can lead to thrush, bacterial vaginosis, unpleasant odours, discharge changes, fertility challenges, and more.

The good news? You can absolutely support and nurture your vaginal microbiome. From wearing breathable underwear and balancing blood sugar, to supporting gut health and choosing pH-friendly products, there are many practical steps you can take. And if you’re struggling with recurrent issues, a vaginal microbiome test can offer valuable insights and help you and your practitioner find the root cause.

At Kyri Cycles, we’re passionate about encouraging women not to settle for “just putting up with it.” Thriving reproductive health is possible—and it all starts with understanding and supporting your microbiome.
