Periods, nutrition, motherhood and trusting your body with Sara, Founder of Your Monthly
Hello Mumma's!I am beyond excited to share this episode with you! Sara is the Founder of Your Monthly, Dietitian, women's health expert and Mum to a beautiful boy, Toby. Sara works with women to support them in understanding their health, cycle, relationship with food and period experience.I got to know Sara back in 2021 when I needed support with irregular periods and discovered that I had Hypothalamic Ammenhorea. In this conversation, Sara and I talk through what that is and how we worked through this to get my cycle back.Sara breaks down for us what our period is, what happens in our body every month and how we can best nourish our bodies so that we are fertile and ovulate every month. We also talk through what is considered "normal" from a period perspective and what are some signs that something may not be quite right and some medical support is needed.Sara shares her nutrition tips for pre-conception, pregnancy and postpartum as well as de-bunking diet culture and the importance of listening and trusting our bodies.As a Mum to a 11 month old, Sara shares her motherhood experience to date, what has challenged her and what she is really enjoying.If you would like to get in touch with Sara, you can find her on Instagram @yourmonthly or https://www.yourmonthlyclub.co.nz/.
