Reading Alisa Vitti’s book, “In the Flo<\/a>,” sparked a profound awakening in me, encompassing spiritual, physical, and mental realms, particularly when it comes to embracing the eating phases of my cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I no longer felt alone in the struggles I’d faced with balancing my hormones.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suddenly let go of the incessant guilt of needing a “rest” day or wondering why my brain would literally shut off around the time of my period.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven’t read “In the Flo” I would strongly encourage you to pick up a copy ASAP.  “Food cycling” isn’t just for women with a menstrual cycle.  This book is geared towards women, but I find that the knowledge in this book is truly universal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all can benefit from cycling our food throughout the month to support gut microbiome diversity and hormonal balance.  It takes a lot of nutrients to build hormones, and eating a varied diet throughout the month gives your body the tools it needs!  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an aside… <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve written this blog post specifically for my clients who are in my Gut Healing<\/a> and Hormone Healing <\/a>Programs to act as an educational adjunct to the work we are doing together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a general rule, I have not found that hormone imbalances are not<\/em><\/strong> rectified by making these changes alone, but when combined with hormonal testing and a bio individual approach, it can be the cherry on top. That is why it is important to learn and understand ways of eating for the phases of your cycle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In the Flo” Food Cycling : Eating for the phases of your cycle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The phases of below are based off a 28 day month <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Your hormones are at their lowest levels…but you can compensate by increasing your intake of protein and healthy fats.  Doing so will keep your energy and moods stable while your brain adjusts to the downshift in hormones.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
