Late luteal mood board…. The older I get, the more sensitive I am to the epic hormonal drop in the late luteal phase of my menstrual cycle. To be honest, it’s a huge transition for women at any phase of their reproductive lives but I think more so during the s**t show of hormonal changes in perimenopause and beyond. At times I feel cranky and irritated and things just get to me. Perimenopause can feel like your body has suddenly turned against you 😩… one month your cycle is normal, the next it’s late (or super heavy), your sleep is broken, you’re snapping at people for no reason, and the cravings hit harder than ever. Add in brain fog, bloating, anxiety and random hot flushes 🔥 and it’s easy to wonder if you’re ‘losing it.’ You’re not. 💛 This is your body shifting gears — and with the right support, you don’t have to just ‘put up with it.’ Some things to think about:
🌿 Balance your blood sugar → eat protein with every meal to calm mood swings + cravings.
• 💧 Hydrate → dehydration makes hot flushes + brain fog worse.
• 💤 Prioritise sleep → magnesium + good sleep hygiene = smoother moods.
• 🌸 Support your liver → cruciferous veggies help process excess estrogen.
• ✨ Stress less → daily breathwork or meditation lowers cortisol + eases anxiety.
• 🏃♀️ Move smart → strength training + walking > endless cardio for hormone balance.
• ☀️ Boost vitamin D → supports mood + bones during the transition.
Don’t wait until things get really bad. It’s time for me to do some hormone testing and really get working on supporting my hormones so I can move through this next phase of my life feeling strong, resilient and balanced. I’d love to help you too. Book a consultation with me today via the link in my bio and let’s started!
