We are always looking for best products to use while on our periods. I personally made the (somewhat common) transition from pads - tampons - the cup over the last couple of decades. I would love to hear which products you use and why you think that’s the best!

Personally, I love using the cup; however, it does get super awkward when you’re in a public restroom that has individual stalls but a shared sink… iykyk

Help each other out - pros and cons of everything you use!

It’s really that simple.

Thankful to the people (spouses) who don’t get in the way of you being healthier.

Instead of asking the price, they ask “when can you start?” “What can I do to help?” “What’s my role here?”

My husband is the best at this but I definitely wanted to celebrate this encouraging phone call I got from another husband supporting his wife. 👏🙌

Χριστός ανέστη! Καλό Πάσχα

Orthodox Easter is my favorite holiday and always ignites something for me. The promise of peace, redemption and love is something that always feels really comforting.

Celebrated with family and even made it to Good Friday service with girly’s special bluey λαμπάδα from Nona 😍

Last photo is how we typically celebrate- a lamb over a spit - but my family in Greece held that down this year. 🇬🇷

This can either motivate or bother you. Either way, your response is a reflection of your own feelings towards yourself.

I tend to be pretty positive and encouraging using the nicest words possible -never to offend or make you feel “less than.”

As if someone else prioritizing their health is a violent attack on you. 🤔

Motherhood slapped me in th face. Slow morning routine .. gone. 1-2 hours at the gym to lift and sauna.. gone. Hours to meal prep each week.. gone.

So I’m actually not delusional in saying YOU ARE GETTING IN YOUR WAY.

You just haven’t adapted yet. My clients are caretakers for their parents, have kids, our widows, our business owners, our single people with very social lives, travel every week, are recovering from chemotherapy, overcoming with fertility…

And they still show up. I get motivated FROM THEM!

Just start! Put down the soda. Go walk. Journal instead of yelling at someone. Take a breath. Pack the fruit instead of the chips. These are all tiny swaps that will yield big results compounded overtime.

So save this and look at it every time you start spewing some excuses.

Should you continue taking progesterone if you want to get pregnant?

Aside from the (obvious) answer of asking your prescribing physician..

I do believe that if you have a history of low progesterone and were prescribed any sort of progesterone support, then I would recommend you DO continue taking that prior to and during (part of) pregnancy.

Progesterone is pro-gestation so it is vital in pregnancy and we see a lot of women improve their fertility by incorporating this bioidentical hormone.

What’s your experience with progesterone for fertility?

Again, this is not medical advice and you should ask your prescribing physician (our MD on staff supports our clients with prescriptions)

The 3 ways to know if you are ovulating - all within your own body!

Cervical mucus -

protects and transports s***m

starts out thick and snot-like means you’re in your fertile window

thin, clear, egg-white means you’re ovulating

Basal body temperature (bbt)-

your temperature at rest changes depending on where you are in your cycle

confirms ovulation (does not predict)

provides insight into your thyroid health

cervix position-

higher, wetter and softer during ovulation

Which is your favorite method? Does it match mine?!

Special weekend celebrating our girl and Palm Sunday💕 Been all up in my feels per usual about it 🥹☺️ so thankful

Orthodox Christians follow the Julian calendar which means we celebrate on a different day (except every 4 years it’s the same)!

New month! Save + share this post for your next grocery or farmers market trip. 📌

Benefits of eating seasonal produce:

- cost effective
- better for environment
- richer flavor
- higher nutritional content due to when food is picked
- opportunity to support local farmers + shop local

_If your food doesn’t have to travel too far to get to you, then it’s better for your health.

What do you plan to incorporate this month? I have been loving sumo oranges and would love to make something with rhubarb and strawberries.. feels very spring and summer to me!!

PMS can have several causes; however, one low-hanging fruit solution to try is to increase sulforaphane. This compound is found in cruciferous vegetables and can help detoxify excess estrogen.

Why does this matter?

If you have PMS, you may not be detoxifying excess estrogen enough. This could lead to migraines, acne, bloating, sore brea$ts, and more.

So, but supporting your body’s ability to get rid of extra estrogen, you’ll potentially be able to get rid of PMS.

Cycle syncing has had its boom the last few years amongst women trying to “balance their hormones” and I totally get the reasoning behind it -

until you actually look at research behind metabolic health benefits to NOT cycle sync.

If you are unfamiliar with cycle syncing, it’s the concept that you sync your food, workout and other lifestyle routines to match the phase of your cycle. In this example, I’m diving into syncing your workouts to your cycle.

The argument for cycle syncing workouts:

work WITH your hormones (don’t push too hard during luteal and go crazy during ovulation)

supports energy levels

gives your body a rest during “low hormone” states

The argument to NOT cycle sync workouts:

interrupts progressive overload in strength training (difficult to build muscle and gain strength when you’re cutting your intensity every two weeks)

research shows it doesn’t actually interfere with hormone shifts

Now, I’m all for bio individuality and believe that YOU know your body best; however, I also suspect you can probably continue to lift weights throughout your entire cycle and feel just fine.

I personally may decrease reps or weight by 5 lbs during my period, but I don’t ever skip lifting weights just because I’m menstruating.

I encourage you -truly - to be consistent and see how much stronger and capable you feel by continuing to life throughout the entire cycle.

Super curious to her your experience as this topic very 🔥

Big sister advice: period edition. 🩸🫂

In case you didn’t know, your “cycle” is day 1 of your period until day 1 of your next period. It is not just your period.

This is something that we review with clients as we unfortunately weren’t properly taught verbiage!

If you missed it, I’m sharing the “I wish I knew” information about cycle health this month so go back to my posts and get caught up.

Stay tuned for more big sister advice to learn what we SHOULD HAVE learned and pass this info along.😉

How did this resonate? If you do not experience this and wonder why, send me a DM. We can dive into what other factors contribute to our hormones (metabolic and gut health) and discuss how to address it.

I truly think our bodies are miraculous and miracle-makers and want you to celebrate this! When we have an imbalance in our hormonal activity, it IS hard, so I want to validate that; however, I want to EMPOWER you to seek to understand and change! You’re not doing this alone- join our team to learn how to finally get easy periods.
