[S1 E3] All About Cycle Syncing: Pt. 2 - Listening to Your Body to Help You Stay Nourished
This week’s episode is a continuation of our menstrual cycle series with the goal of demystifying it!
In this episode, we're taking a closer look at navigating food and nutrition throughout the stages of your cycle. If you're anything like me, you know how hard it can be to stick to a calorie deficit and your “eating healthy goals” when your energy levels drop and the cravings set in.
To better understand how you can make the best food choices throughout every stage of your period, we're going to take a deep dive together into understanding why you feel the way you do throughout your cycle and how to care for your body when you're feeling the symptoms of hormonal fluctuations.
I’m also going to share with you some common misconceptions about dieting during your period and the importance of listening to your body's hunger cues because as our bodies experience the fluctuation of our sex hormones, the most important thing we can do is make good and healthy nutritional choices.
