Recipes for Each Phase of Your Infradian Rhythm

,

Each phase of your menstrual cycle, or infradian rhythm, has it’s own affect on your body. Your hormone levels are different throughout the month, and therefore your body requires different nutrients.

An easy way to start supporting your cycle is to implement foods that contain the nutrients you need each week. I’ve compiled some of my favorite recipes for each phase.

These are pulled from Detoxinista, one of my all-time favorite websites for healthy and yummy recipes!

In your menstrual phase, you should focus on incorporating more iron, protein and fruits.
