the week before your period (luteal phase), progesterone spikes and slows your digestion down. your gut literally moves slower. add water retention from hormonal shifts + cravings for salt and sugar. Bloating is bound to happen. this is NOT a sign to restrict. this is your body doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. You can relief these symptoms by doing this massage or 🌺10 min slow walk after meals (moves digestion along) 🌺 cat-cow + child’s pose + supine twist (3 min, releases the gut) 🌺 magnesium glycinate before bed (relaxes the gut + helps sleep) 🌺 warm water with lemon in the AM #lutealphase #cyclesyncing #womenshealth #hormonebalance
