Your luteal phase is the 10-14 days leading up to your menstrual bleed.
This tends to be the part of the cycle my patients struggle with most.
The luteal phase isn’t a mistake or a curse. It’s a time of slowing down, rooting in, and nourishing yourself deeply.
Here’s what your body actually wants in this phase:
🩸 More food (your metabolism speeds up)
🧠 More B vitamins (for mood and energy)
🧂 More minerals (to replenish what’s coming)
💤 More rest (you’re not lazy—you’re wise)
What’s on my plate lately?
Grass-fed steak for iron + B vitamins
Raw carrot salad for fiber + gentle estrogen detox
Tallow fries for cozy carbs + satisfaction
Your cravings aren’t the problem—they’re communication.
Your fatigue isn’t a flaw—it’s a cue.
This is not the week to do it all.
This is the week to come home to yourself.
