Summary

Hey guys! In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the menstrual phase. This is more than just a week of bleeding, it’s a hormonal reset where your body is shedding your uterine lining and recalibrating. And yet, so many of us (including me) weren’t educated about all the ways we can support our bodies during this phase instead of just “dealing with the pain.”

We’ll cover:

What’s happening hormonally during your period
The science behind rest, slower movement, and why fatigue is normal.
The best foods to eat during your period, including iron-rich options, warming foods, and blood-sugar-friendly meals.
Gentle workouts and daily rhythms that actually support hormone balance.
My go-to period wellness products, from 100% organic cotton tampons, castor oil patches, heat patches, sleep mists, and magnesium-rich rituals
Why your period is considered the fifth vital sign, and what your flow, color, and symptoms might be telling you about your overall health.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your cycle, dread your period, or just want to feel better during that week of the month, you are going to LOVE this episode.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a Dear Media production.
0:06.4	You're listening to the Wellness Herway podcast. I'm your host, Gracie Norton, and I'm so
0:11.3	excited to provide you with the space where you get to shape what wellness feels like to you.
0:15.6	Wellness Her Way is where we make a home of our body, mind, and soul, instead of jumping on
0:20.1	trends for short-term results.
0:21.9	We've got one body. We're going to nourish it, love it, respect it, and embrace it through all
0:26.4	its forms.
0:35.7	Hello and welcome back to another episode of Wellness Airway.
0:39.8	Today we're talking all about periods.
0:42.9	I know we've talked about cycle-sinking a lot on the show,
0:45.5	but I really wanted to just do a deep dive and just talk about the habits that have improved my PMS symptoms.
0:52.4	I also posted an Instagram story and you guys were like, yes, let's break it
0:57.2	down phase by phase. So that is exactly what we're going to do. So what I'm thinking is that we're
1:02.4	going to do a cycle sinking series. The thing about cycle sinking is that I feel like it's become
1:07.8	this big thing that can be very overwhelming. But essentially, it's just
1:12.9	working with your hormones and kind of finding that natural rhythm and aligning with that
1:18.7	so that you actually get to feel good longer than, you know, a week throughout every month.
1:23.6	Because for me, I felt like, you know, when I had a terrible luteal phase and menstrual
1:29.1	phase, it was like I really only felt good a few days out of the month. And that's just no way
1:34.4	to live, you know? Like you have to pretend like you feel okay. Your mood is all over the place.
1:39.1	Energy levels are up and down. And I got to be honest, I felt a little crazy. So it's really
1:43.8	nice once you can kind of start to break it down and down. And I got to be honest, I felt a little crazy. So it's really nice once you can kind of
