Nourishing Your Body During Your Period

It's no secret that your body goes through some changes during your menstrual cycle. For some people, the physical and emotional shifts can be challenging, but you can take control of your nutrition to ease the support your body and maintain your energy levels. Below, we'll dive into what to eat when you have your period, with a focus on replacing lost nutrients and reducing inflammation.

1. Iron-Rich Foods:

During your period, you lose some iron in the process. To keep your iron levels up and stave off fatigue, consider incorporating the following foods into your diet:

  • Organ meats

  • Beef

  • Dark leafy greens like spinach and kale

These foods are packed with iron, which is essential for red blood cell production and overall energy levels.

2. Omega-3 Rich Foods:

Omega-3 fatty acids are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, making them an excellent choice to help reduce period-related inflammation. Here are some options to consider:

  • Fatty fish like wild salmon

  • Avocado

  • Nuts

By including these foods in your meals, you can potentially alleviate bloating and discomfort associated with your period.

3. Antioxidant-Rich Fruits and Vegetables:

Colorful fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants can help combat the oxidative stress that often accompanies your period. These foods are not only nutritious but also delicious:

  • Berries (blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries)

  • Broccoli

The antioxidants in these foods can help reduce cramps and elevate your mood during your period.

4. Magnesium-Rich Foods:

Magnesium is a mineral that can be your best friend during your period, helping to alleviate cramps, headaches, and sleep difficulties. Incorporate the following magnesium-rich options into your diet:

  • Nuts

  • Seeds

By snacking on these foods, you can keep your magnesium levels in check and improve your overall well-being during your period.

Incorporate these foods into your diet during your period and notice the positive impact it can have on your overall well-being.

 

30 Day Kick-Start

Digestion & Gut Health

 

Ok let's get straight to the point (because that is what this kick-start does!)

If you tick any of these boxes, the 30 Day Kick-Start Digestion & Gut Health is the right fit for you: 

  • Bloated belly that looks 6 months pregnant by the end of the day (or even after a meal).

  • Constantly worrying about where the nearest bathroom is - because you never know if it’s going to be diarrhoea or constipation.

  • Feeling like you eat “so healthy” but still have low energy, brain fog, or nutrient deficiencies.

  • Burping, reflux, or indigestion that makes eating uncomfortable (or embarrassing).

  • Clothes not fitting properly because your stomach changes size throughout the day.

  • Missing out on social events or meals because you’re scared of the food reactions.

  • Trying elimination diets, supplements, or cleanses - and still not getting lasting relief.

  • Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety linked to gut issues (even when you’re trying to be your best self).

  • Feeling like your body is “failing you” despite doing all the “right” things.

  • Skin flares (eczema, acne, rashes) that make you self-conscious and frustrated.

  • Hormonal symptoms (PMS, perimenopause changes, thyroid imbalances) made worse by poor digestion.

  • Waking up tired, dragging through the day, then wired but exhausted at night.

  • The constant, nagging thought: “I must be missing something, but what?”

We are here to get to the bottom of your digestive issues for good - not just relieve symptoms. Let's resolve the issue properly so your system is functioning at optimum. We want you thriving, not surviving.
