Reminder: Schedule your deep clean during your luteal phase
Don’t know when your luteal phase is? 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱!

Reminder: you should probably be eating more protein
AKA stop skipping breakfast! Intermittent fasting, whether intentional or not, stresses your body out causing digestive issues & inflammation. So instead of feeling lean & fresh you might find yourself feeling puffy & foggy.

That’s when you’ll feel lean & fresh!! Clients who have made an effort to eat breakf
Reminder: A red raspberry leaf tea a day keeps the cramps away!
I wish I knew this when I got the worst cramps of my life after I started taking the Pill at 20.

Reminder: Your period tracker app might be lying to you
If you want something done right, 𝓭𝓸 𝓲𝓽 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻𝓼𝓮𝓵𝓯! Sorry to burst your bubble, but your period tracker app 𝗖𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗢𝗧 predict your ovulation date.

Reminder: Your period is your superpower.
𝗙 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗵, 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀!! Having a period, heck- 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯- can feel disempowering in a world that makes it out to be a disgusting, shameful, embarrassing curse we’re destined to suffer with.

Once I learned this for myself I knew I had to share. My mission is to teach women to…
Reminder: All forms of birth control are 100% effective when you're not fertile
Wait, 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩?! You’re only fertile 6-7 days of your cycle; those are the days you need protection to avoid pregnancy. If you’re taking the Pill or any other hormonal contraceptive, it’s a daily dose of synthetic hormones that with typical use will likely prevent you from getting pregnant… but what about the other 23-24 days of the month? Of course it’s working- you’re not fertile so it’s near impossible to get pregnant! With a natural approach like fertility awareness, you know what…
Hormonal Birth Control: Two Truths & a Lie
𝓣𝓡𝓤𝓣𝓗! The Pill is recognized as a group 1 carcinogen by the World Health Organization. Yup, the seemingly benign Pill that is handed out like candy to girls as young as 11-12 is a known cancer-causing agent. 𝓣𝓡𝓤𝓣𝓗! “No tissue or organ system is free from some change or affect when a woman takes the Pill,” according to Dr. Salhanick.
