Here’s what you never learned 👇🏻

I do consider it an injustice that young people are not taught the basics of their bodies and the menstrual cycle.

1. Your body uses more energy and calories in the second phase of your cycle. Your cravings are linked to nutrient deficiency and likely you aren’t eating enough

2. Hormonal birth control does not fix hormone imbalance. It provides symptom management without addressing the root cause. When you stop, your problems will come back and often worse

3. Your “pms rage” is real and sacred. Unmet needs and unexpressed emotions will come out stronger in this phase. You aren’t a bitch, your hormones are supporting you having boundaries babe

4. Your nervous system and you liver are the MAIN players in your hormone health. If you are having period pain issues, start here before modulating your hormones
