Your cycle changes week to week, and your nutrition should too.
Pairing the right foods with each phase helps support hormones, energy, and mood naturally.
Menstrual Phase, Restore + Rebuild: Focus on replenishing and gentle nourishment:
• Iron-rich foods (grass-fed beef, lentils, spinach)
• Warming soups and stews
• Healthy fats (avocado, olive oil)
• Herbal teas like ginger or raspberry leaf
Follicular Phase, Support Growth + Energy: Light, fresh foods help estrogen rise smoothly:
• Lean proteins (eggs, fish, legumes)
• Fermented foods for gut support
• Sprouts, leafy greens, citrus
• Flax or pumpkin seeds
Ovulatory Phase, Balance + Glow: Antioxidant-rich foods help the body detox excess estrogen:
• Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, arugula)
• Berries and colorful veggies
• Fiber-rich foods
• Plenty of hydration
Luteal Phase, Ground + Stabilize: Focus on blood sugar balance and calming nutrients:
• Complex carbs (sweet potatoes, quinoa, oats)
• Magnesium-rich foods (dark chocolate, pumpkin seeds)
• Healthy fats + quality protein
• Warming, grounding meals
When you eat with your cycle instead of against it, hormones feel supported, not stressed.
✨Listen to your body and nourish accordingly
