Syncing your lifestyle to your cycle is a great way to honor your body and feel your best!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💗Menstrual Phase💗
Take it easy during this time! Hormones are at their lowest, so energy levels are likely to be low! Support the body with nutrient rich foods to keep energy and blood sugar levels steady.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⭐️ Iron is important during this time because you are losing it through mentstruation.
⭐️ Omega 3s are anti-inflammatory and can help relieve menstrual pain and regulate menstruation.
⭐️ B vitamins may help relieve menstrual pain.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💗Follicular Phase💗
Your energy might be going up during this time and you might be able to tolerate medium intensity exercise!
⭐️ Fiber and Fermented Food are key for gut health and detox which is important to help with getting rid of excess hormones.
⭐️ Vitamin E is an antioxidant and can help lower inflammation.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💗Ovulatory Phase💗
Hormones are even higher during this time and we are more confident and energized!
⭐️ Magnesium can help balance blood sugar and balance hormones
⭐️ Anti-inflammatory foods can help lower inflammation and help with fertility.
⭐️ Cruciferous Veggies are helpful for supporting the liver in removing excess estrogen which can help reduce negative symptoms

💗Luteal Phase💗
Hormone levels reach their peak as we approach menstruation. This is the time when many women experience PMS.
⭐️ It is important to have food that helps support serotonin production during this time to help with mood.
⭐️ Magnesium can help support hormone balance and reduce PMS symptoms.

Anyone else also look forward to their morning cup of coffee?! 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Coffee is full of antioxidants to help fight inflammation and can help boost productivity. 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, if you drink coffee and are wanting to improve your energy naturally and/ or are trying to heal your hormones, it can be difficult to track your progress if you drink lots of caffeine! ☕️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that just 200 mg a day of coffee can disrupt your sleep cycle and make it difficult to feel and function your best....perpetuating chronic low energy and out of control hormones.😴
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can definitely have coffee while following a hormone healthy diet, just try to stick to only 1-2 cups a day!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are a coffee lover, what is your favorite coffee order? I’ll go first: I love a latte with whole milk and stevia!

PCOS is an extremely misunderstood condition, so we are challenging some of the most popular PCOS beliefs!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Birth Control is Your Only Option."
✨ Birth Control can help manage symptoms of PCOS but often times it doesn't solve the root issue. When people with PCOS get off of birth control, they often get back to irregular periods.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"PCOS is Only a Fertility Issue"
✨ PCOS is a much broader condition and should be treated as such! Everyone with PCOS is affected differently! Not only are women able to regulate their hormones and periods by making lifestyle changes, but they are able to conceive with PCOS.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Losing Weight With PCOS is All About Calories In/Out"
✨ There are so many factors that make losing weight with PCOS difficult. For everyone, it is different. If you are having difficulty losing weight with PCOS we are here to help you with a personalized approach.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"You Can't Get Pregnant With PCOS"
✨While PCOS can make it more difficult to get pregnant, it is not impossible. By making lifestyle changes and supporting hormone health, women with PCOS can increase their chances of getting pregnant!
