Currently 3 days out from my period and this filter is so accurate I cannot explain it 😭😭😭
We can all agree this is a UNIVERSAL girlhood experience, but WHY?
It has to do with the way our hormones and fertility change throughout our cycle!
The first half your cycle, estrogen hormone is rising and peaking when you ovulate! Estrogen makes you feel HOTTTT, social, fun, thinner, you hold onto less water, you’re stronger and have more energy.
Plus, biologically we are wired to feel more attractive when we’re fertile and can get pregnant (the days before ovulation + ovulation itself) so we go out and GET SOME 😌
But, once ovulation happens, estrogen hormone drops and progesterone hormone comes in.
This is the hormone that SHOULD make you feel calm, a little more introverted and relaxed the week before your period (aka your luteal phase).
By nature, you’re also more critical the week before your period because your body doesn’t know if it’s pregnant yet so it needs to protect you from potential danger (so cool)!!
When your hormones are out of balance, LOW progesterone and HIGH estrogen in your luteal phase (the 1-2 weeks before your period), you feel like TRASH.
You’re anxious, moody, irritable, you feel like an ugly troll, you can’t sleep, have insane cravings and feel like you gained 15 pounds over night.
Good news is we can FIX THIS. Bringing estrogen & progesterone back into balance solves this problem.
You’re never going to feel you’re prettiest the week before your period though 😂
It’s my job to help you balance hormones, feel amazing in your body and understand your cycle and fertility because we were NEVER taught this in school!!
