Have you ever wondered why some weeks you feel unstoppable and the next you just want to hide under a blanket with snacks and Netflix? It's not just you. It's not that you're "too emotional" or "lazy" or "overdramatic." It's your hormones doing exactly what they’re designed to do.
The truth is, you’re not supposed to feel the same every single day. Your body follows a beautifully complex hormonal rhythm throughout the month. And yet, no one really talks about it. No one pulled me aside in high school and said, “Hey, by the way, PMS isn’t mandatory—your body is just asking for support.”
Instead, we're taught to push through, to ignore the signs, to label ourselves as "moody" or "dramatic." But what if feeling tired, cranky, or bloated isn’t a character flaw—it’s simply your hormones shifting and asking for different support?
Take the luteal phase, for example—the week or so before your period. It can feel intense. You might notice lower energy, bigger emotions, and stronger cravings. But it’s not because you're "lazy" or "crazy." It’s because your body is literally working overtime to prepare for your next cycle. And it deserves real support… and yes, real snacks.
Another thing no one seems to mention? The way you eat can actually make a difference. Eating with your cycle—meaning adjusting your foods to match what your body needs in each phase—can help ease cramps, reduce bloating, stabilize your mood, and even boost your energy.
When you stop fighting your body and start working with it, everything starts to shift. You feel more grounded. More in control. More like yourself again.
If you’re tired of feeling like you’re on a hormonal rollercoaster every month, you're not alone—and you're definitely not broken. You’re just ready for real support that honors the rhythm your body was made for.
