Over training and under fuelling can be a huge stressor on the body impacting our hormones, digestion, thyroid, nervous system, detoxification and more.

There’s lots of advice out there about strength training to build muscle is healthy and eating X amount of protein for longevity and whilst these statements are true there is little acknowledgement about protecting our hormone physiology in the process.

These are practices I implement after a decade of weight training, yoga practice and looking after my hormonal health.

Many women come through my clinic struggling with PMS and it is truly a host of symptoms that do not need to be experienced month after month.

PMS is our bodies shouting that it’s not coping, telling us there are nervous system issues, blood sugar imbalances and likely oestrogen and progesterone struggles.

Your daily routine, sleep habits, eating habits and patterns all feed into this and with simple tweaks I’ve seen PMS resolve itself even in just 1 cycle!

This pos outlines things you can do in your luteal phase to make it easier, but it really is a whole cycle picture - how you nourish and treat your body in one phase really does determine how you enter your next.

This is exactly what I teach you in my upcoming webinar series - comment WEBINAR below for the details 👇🏼

As always keeping meal planning super simple whilst looking after my hormone health.

My day to day meals are made up of simple ingredient found from the supermarket, no fancy online shops or superfood powders that cost the earth.

Endometriosis has taught me to make things as simple as possible, and that’s being my life motto for the past few years now - and it’s worked.

I teach my clients the exact same principles an adapting the to their nutritional needs.

I’m hosting a 2-part webinar series in March and I’d love you to attend…

The first teaches you how your hormone cycle works - because you can’t regulate what you don’t understand.

The second part teaches you what to eat during each ages of your cycle to support your specific needs - you’ll leave knowing exactly what to eat and why.

It’s super affordable and I’ll be sending a recording if you can’t make the live date - it’s yours to keep and watch back whenever you need.

If you’re interested comment WEBINAR and I’ll send you the details.

The real beauty of our bodies is how everything it does to keep us healthy is all entangled together which is highlighted in this post.

This is why you can’t compartmentalise our body systems - I’ve learnt that to specialise in female hormone health is to specialise in the female body as a whole …

Digestion
Detoxification
Nervous system
Endocrine system
Lymphatic system
Circadian rhythm
Muscular system
Reproductive system

It’s learning how all of the above interplay with one another daily and cyclically.

There’s never just 1 thing at play when you’re struggling with your health, there’s usually bottlenecks in areas that have a knock on effect downstream/upstream and impact many different systems.

This is why it’s so overwhelming piecing everything together. I know posts like these are super helpful, and they’re helpful for me to put my work and research into words, but to truly shift your long term health you need to have the knowledge of your whole female body, not jus your hormones.

This is why I’m bringing you a 2- part live training designed to help you understand how the above interplay with your monthly hormone cycle - and then show you exactly how to support them properly with nutrition and lifestyle practices.

Your bleed is a time of depletion - you’re detoxing from your previous cycle and your body is preparing to rebuild for your next cycle.

The food you choose to eat and the pace of life you live determines how well you cope bleed after bleed.

As women we’re told that we’re worse off because we bleed each month, that our periods are something to dread and be ashamed of.

It’s a societal expectation that suffering through pain and fatigue is normal when bleeding.

This is doing a huge disservice to our long term health and quality of life.

Nutrition and daily habits transform how we experience and respect our bodies month on month.

Swipe to see some of ku favourite things to nurture my bleed, things that have helped myself and my clients live a great quality of life - without pain and fatigue whilst bleeding.

And yes, this is coming from someone with Endometriosis!

During your bleed your body wants warmth, mineral, easily digestive foods that are grounding.

It doesn’t want cold, raw, smoothies, salads, or restriction in anyway.

You’re replenishing after the intensity of your luteal phase and building nutrient stores in preparation for your cycle ahead.

Clean eating habits often leave women feeling worse - more exhaustion, more headaches, more pain, more fatigue.

Save this post under a folder titled “bleeding” so you always have this resource to refer back to.

Next up I’m going to post my favourite meals to eat when I’m bleeding, meals that have helped me overcome my Endometriosis related pain, fatigue and bloating and live a great quality of life.

I used to be bed ridden on my bleed, I couldn’t leave the bathroom floor due to nausea and cold sweats - even after surgery, I struggled.

Nutrition and lifestyle changes are the only thing that has kept my Endometriosis under control long term.

Even if you don’t have Endometriosis, these recipes are still nutritious for your bleed.

Too many women suffer with PMS during their luteal phase and it really doesn’t have to be this way.

We get caught up in the hype of trending diets and over marketed supplements whilst ignoring the fundamentals of what our body needs.

Symptoms like fatigue, bloating, mood swings, tender breasts etc. are common but not normal.

They are your body trying to tell you that something is off balance internally and externally.

Hormone systems like blood sugar, nervous system, and ovarian signalling are usually struggling due to lack of or imbalanced nutrition.

The above steps are great tools, so make sure you swipe and save under your ‘luteal’ folder to come back to when you’re next in this phase.

And to continue learning make sure you’re receiving The Hormone Edit ✍️ which I send every Monday - it’s the hormone education you never got at 13.

Your hormones naturally rise at ovulation, and with this your liver works hard to metabolise these hormones once your body has used them.

It can’t do this without the nutrient profile outlined in the above slides (swipe).

Make sure this post is saved to refer back to when you next ovulate 💾

I recommend creating a folder for each phase - menstrual, follicular, ovulation, luteal - then you can access helpful information easily.

After your bleed your hormones race towards ovulation.

Like all of your physiology, this requires an abundance of nutrients to make all the below happen:

- brain ovarian communication
- follicle development
- oestrogen production
- hormone metabolism

Amino acids from protein, glucose from carbs and fatty acids from fats are essentials.

But we can’t forget minerals like zinc, copper, sodium, potassium, and magnesium.

Or vitamins like B6, vitamin C, E and retinol.

Swipe to see the meals I consume to support my follicular phase and optimise my ovarian health.

Save this for future follicular phases.
