Eating For Your Menstrual Cycle with Nutritionist Eleni Cassar | Thank Goddess EP 6

Thank Goddess

Today I'm speaking to Eleni Cassar, Clinical Nutritionist with a holistic approach to health and wellness, on all things food and eating around your Menstrual Cycle!
Eleni and I will be discussing holistic ways to support your hormones and your menstrual cycle through the lens of nutrition and holistic health. She will explore different foods and nutrients to incorporate into your diet to optimise the health of your hormones. She will also unpack some of the biggest misconceptions around period symptoms that are considered "normal" when in fact are a sign that your hormones are not functioning correctly!
If you're someone who feels helpless when it comes to your health and maybe you’ve tried all the things and nothing seems to be working for you, I think you’re going to feel a sense of optimism after this conversation, as Eleni discusses the many avenues to healing and different treatments available, so it's important that you don’t give up and you look at all your options!
