Summary

This week’s episode takes a dive into the four-phase cycle, a concept introduced in a recent interview with Le’Nise Brothers (linked below). It’s been said that the menstrual cycle mimics the phases of the moon and even our four seasons on Earth. While many discussions tend to focus only on the negative aspects of a menstrual cycle, Erin points out that each phase can be an opportunity to highlight things in our lives that need to change. Whether you’re a menstruating person or not, you can tap into this energy. This episode of the Funk’tional Nutrition Podcast breaks down the processes that occur within each of these phases, what it means energetically, and how you can harness the wisdom contained in each phase so that what once felt like a burden can be wielded as a superpower. In this episode: -The inspiration behind this week’s episode [1:58] -Triggers, attunement, and how this ties into our cycle [3:17] -Update for the Carb Compatibility Project™ [8:20] -How understanding the energetics of the four-phase cycle helps us in life [14:14] -What if you have unpredictable or no-show cycles? [16:42] -Looking to the moon to help regain and track your cycle [17:36] -Phase one: what this means in terms of energy and intuition [19:38] -Powerful practices for restoration and release [23:48] -Action, growth, and energy during the follicular phase [24:37] -Ovulation: the big one-day show [27:22] -The luteal phase: the time of discernment [30:02] -Why the luteal phase gets a bad rep and how we can harness it to our benefit [31:51] Resources mentioned: Organifi supplement powder (save 20% on your order with code FUNK) https://organifi.com/FUNK Bio-Kult Boosted probiotic supplement (save 15% on your order with code FUNK15) https://www.bio-kult.com/bio-kult-boosted/p9 The Carb Compatibility Project™ (next round starts in May!) https://www.erinholthealth.com/carb-compatibility-project Your Hormone Revival™ (next round starts in Sept!) https://www.erinholthealth.com/hormones The Funk’tional Nutrition Academy™ https://www.erinholthealth.com/mentorship Follow Erin on Insta https://www.instagram.com/the.funktional.nutritionist/ Related episodes: 148: Periods, PMS & Hormone Strategies with Le'Nise Brothers https://www.erinholthealth.com/funktional-nutrition-podcast/2021/3/23/episode-148-periods-pms-amp-hormone-strategies

0:00.0	Welcome to the Functional Nutrition Podcast. I'm your host, Erin Holt. I'm a functional
0:07.4	medicine nutritionist with a feisty attitude in over a decade of clinical experience. I work with
0:13.3	women all over the world through my online programs, and I'm also the founder of the Functional
0:18.9	Nutrition Academy, a 12-month practitioner mentorship where I help other nutrition pros level up
0:25.3	with functional medicine methodologies.
0:27.9	I've got a bone to pick with diet culture and the conventional healthcare model
0:31.6	that are both systematically failing so many of us.
0:35.3	Creating a new model is my life's work, and this is what the show's all about.

1:09.8	outside getting my forest medicine. You might be able to hear
1:13.7	some birds. There's definitely a bubbling brook right behind me. So enjoy the nature sounds.
1:19.7	I'm also recording the intro to today's podcast episode. We are getting ready to head down to
1:26.8	Florida. So we rented a house in St. Augustine, which is where my mom lives,
1:31.2	and we're going to be posting up in St. Augustine for the month of April. We're packing the dogs.
1:37.0	We're packing the family, and we are driving down. We've got somebody saying at the house. We've never done
1:42.0	anything like this before. So we have somebody making sure the house stays in ship shape. But I'm really, really excited to do something like this. Get out of Dodge. It's been a long year. I know it has for everybody else too. So this is exciting. All right, today's episode, last episode, we had Linne's brothers come on the show,
2:02.5	and she was talking about the four phase cycle. And we didn't get into a tremendous amount of
