You see, during your luteal phase (approx. 2 weeks before your period) your metabolism is much faster and it requires up to 300 extra calories. Hence the fact of feeling hungry all day long even when you are eating the same amount of food from last week. And  when you cut down carbs or don’t eat enough of them your happy hormones tank and your blood sugar enters that not so fun rollercoaster I am always talking about. In other words you get *fking* irritable, easily fatigued and you starve ALL-DAY-LONG (no matter how many cucumbers you eat)! [...]

Have you ever noticed that one day you can totally crush spin class 🚴‍♀️ but the next day feels so much harder?? Or that one day you can lift 50 lbs 💪 but the next you can barely lift 30?? Because let me tell you that you are not alone, me and many of my clients have been there as well more times that we can count. And the reason behind that is because as it is important to cycle-sync your nutrition 🥑 (meaning like eating to nurture each of the four phases of your cycle) it is as important to cycle-sync your workouts🏋️‍♀️.  Y[...]

If you have been around for a while you’ve probably noticed that I am obsessed with Cycle syncing nutrition.🥑 Why? Because nobody ever tells you that your cyle has 4 different phases with 4 hormonal fluctuations that are responsible for how you feel, act and think throughout the month and that these fluctuations need different nutrients as you transition through your cycle.🤯🤯 And honestly girlfriend,  this is in my opinion (and what I see with my clients) should always be part of a woman’s life because cycle syncing nutrition is by far&nbs[...]

Estrogen is a wonderful hormone and makes up a large part of being the beautiful women we are: it promotes healthy skin, stamina, drive, it gives us our physical features and it gives us energy during the first half of our cycle.   However, too much of it can start rearing its ugly head 😖and can be the main reason why we may totally dislike our body (I’ve been there many times) every time our period🩸 is around the corner.   So in an attempt to help you find out if you are dealing with excess estrogen - or NOT - 🤔 I have recorded a video (audio avail[...]

If you have been around for a while you probably have heard me talk about how mismanaged blood sugar 🎢 is one of the main causes of hormonal imbalances.  And that in a nutshell, is because when you are riding the blood sugar rollercoaster, then your hormones cause your body to store extra fat that produces extra estrogen, leading to excess estrogen symptoms such as PMS, mood swings, bloating, weight gain before your period, breast tenderness and migraines/headaches. #annoyingAF 😒😒 The thing is that most people don’t know this, and go through[...]

With summer around the corner I have seen many influencers, posts and ads that talk about intermittent fasting. And believe me, I have nothing against it but not all types of intermittent fasting that get advertised are HORMONE friendly. When done right, intermittent fasting can have a lot of benefits for your hormones like helping you use excess fat storage for energy, support blood sugar regulation (which is essential for healthy hormones) improve mental clarity and can boost your energy… but when not done right then you can expect a mismanaged blood sug[...]
