01 Founders

Same kitchen. Same standards. Different rhythm.

Leslie Moore Functional Nutrition Counselor · Nourish Cycles

"My partner asked why men didn't have one. We didn't have a good answer."

Leslie Moore is the functional nutrition counselor and founder of Nourish Cycles — phase-based snacks aligned to a woman's 28-day cycle. After her tenth customer asked if there was something for the men in her life, she sat down with the same kitchen team and built one.

Where her line aligns to four phases over a month, this one aligns to a man's daily hormone rhythm — testosterone is highest in the morning, drops through the afternoon, and restores during sleep. Three snacks, three windows. Same kitchen. Same standards. Different clock.

The point of Nourish Cycles was never just snacks. It was respect for the rhythm your body actually has. Men have one too — we just had to look at the right time scale. — Leslie Moore, founder
02 Rhythm

Your testosterone keeps a schedule. So does your snack.

Healthy adult men experience a daily rise and fall in testosterone — peaking in the early morning, dipping through the afternoon, and restoring during sleep. Energy, focus, and recovery loosely track the curve. Snacking with it, instead of against it, is the simplest lever you have.

Sunrise · 8am peak Pre-Set · before training Sunday Reset · evening 6 AM 12 PM 4 PM 10 PM HIGH LOW
Phase · 01
Morning peak
6am – 10am

T peaks. Energy and focus at their daily max. Eat for the curve, not against it.

Phase · 02
Midday plateau
10am – 2pm

Steady output. Most productive window. Light lunch, low insulin spikes.

Phase · 03
Afternoon dip
2pm – 6pm

Natural drop. Best window to train. Exercise restores T, even short-term.

Phase · 04
Evening reset
6pm – sleep

Cortisol-down window. Sleep is where T regenerates. Snack the system, not the spike.

03 The Trio

Three snacks. Three windows. One rhythm.

Each ball is hand-rolled in small batches in the same kitchen as Nourish Cycles. No proprietary blends, no synthetic adaptogens, no fillers. Every ingredient listed, dosed, and chosen for what it actually does.

● Morning · 7–10am SKU · 01

Sunrise · Morning Peak

For your 8am hormone window

Your testosterone is highest in the morning. Your first food shapes the curve for the rest of the day. Sunrise keeps it steady — slow carbs, quality fats, selenium.

Raw cacao · Brazil nuts · Maca root · Steel-cut oats · Raw honey · Coconut oil · Sea salt.

● Pre-train · 30–60 min SKU · 02

Pre-Set · Pre-Training

For your lift, run, or session

Resistance training is the most reliable lever men have for healthy T. Pre-Set gives you the fuel — fast carbs, blood-flow nitrates, clean caffeine. No gut bomb.

Sunday Reset

For sleep, stress, weekly recovery

Sleep and cortisol regulation are the biggest weekly drivers of healthy T. Sunday Reset works the loop — ashwagandha, tart cherry, magnesium-rich walnuts.

Walnuts · Ashwagandha (KSM-66) · Tart cherry · Raw cacao · Almond butter · Cinnamon · Raw honey · Sea salt.

04 Ingredients

What's in. What's out. No proprietary blends.

Ingredient transparency is the line in the sand. We list everything, dose everything openly, and refuse to put anything in a "blend." If it's not on the label, it's not in the ball.

05 Protocol

How to use the trio. Two balls a day. That's the rhythm.

Start simple: one in the morning, one before training (or in the late afternoon), and a Sunday Reset on evenings you need sleep more than swagger. Build the muscle. Iterate on what works for your week.

01
7am – 10am

Morning · Sunrise

One ball with your first coffee or instead of a heavier breakfast. Selenium, magnesium, and slow carbs hit during your daily T peak. Sets the tone for everything else.

→ Sunrise · Morning Peak
02
30–60 min before training

Pre-train · Pre-Set

One ball before lifting, running, or any heavy session. Espresso, beetroot, and dates fuel the lift without sitting heavy. Cinnamon balances insulin response.

→ Pre-Set · Pre-Training
03
Sunday evening · or any night

Recovery · Sunday Reset

One ball when you need sleep over swagger. Ashwagandha and tart cherry quiet cortisol; walnuts deliver magnesium for the regenerative phase. Re-baseline before Monday.

→ Sunday Reset
