The supplement industry is a billion-dollar machine. While some supplements help, they often distract from the root of nourishing ourselves through food. Harvard Health notes that vitamins and minerals are most potent when they come from whole foods, which also offer antioxidants, flavonoids, and other nutrients supplements lack. Plus, food not only tastes better but is often a more affordable and balanced way to meet your nutritional needs.

What to eat during Menstrual Phase:
• During this phase, the body sheds the uterine lining, resulting in menstrual bleeding. Typically lasts 3-8 days.​ ​Iron-rich foods like lean meats, beans, lentils, tofu, spinach, and fortified cereals help replenish iron lost during menstruation, preventing anemia and fatigue.

What to eat during Follicular Phase:
• The body prepares for ovulation by developing and maturing an egg. Usually spans 11-27 days. Consume foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon, chia seeds, and walnuts, to promote healthy follicle development and reduce inflammation.

What to eat during Ovulation Phase (aka your Fertile Window):
• A mature egg is released from the ovary during this window, when pregnancy is most likely to occur. Lasts up to 5 days. Eat lean proteins, whole grains, and antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables (like berries and leafy greens) to provide energy and support egg release.

What to eat during the Luteal Phase:
• The body prepares for possible pregnancy, and if fertilization doesn't occur, the cycle begins anew. Typically lasts 10-16 days. Choose nourishing options like soups, stews, root vegetables, and herbal teas to support comfort and digestion as the body prepares for a new cycle.
