    Hi Colleen. I’m a new subscriber & I just want to say I have been really enjoying your content. I’ve been a yo-yo dieter for most of my adult life & I’m just working on breaking the vicious cycle. I read taking charge of your fertility almost 9 years ago when I was trying to conceive my now almost 8 year old. Game changer! I used fertility awareness method to help conceive & still use it to this day for natural birth control. I think it should be required reading for every young lady! Why aren’t we taught this stuff at an early age?!
    I was wondering your opinion on an author named Alisa Vitti? She is pretty bad ass in the women’s reproductive area & wrote the book Woman Code. It’s pretty fascinating stuff but she demonizes a lot of food saying things like sugar cause hormonal imbalances. I’m coming from the whole “clean eating basically orthorexic food obsessed” diet. I’ve been led to believe sugar, dairy, gluten, anything processed is the reason my hormones are not working optimally and the reason I’m gaining weight & always tired, hungry & my hair is falling out. Or maybe it’s the stress of trying to eat perfectly & under eating for fear of eating something deemed “bad” that is really messing me up. Anyway she really focuses on honoring our cycles & each of the 4 phases we should eat certain foods & do certain exercises. It’s basically a diet for our cycles. I would love for you to take a look at her work & give us your opinion on it. Thanks for everything you are doing. You are helping me tremendously!

    I haven't had my period since September 2020 which is when I began to eat "clean" and drastically cut out highly processed foods and quit snacking on junk. Keep in mind that I'm only 5'3 and I used to weigh 108lbs and I am now down to 98lbs. My weight drastically dropped in 1 month!!! I have also been intermittent fasting tho (solely for health benefits). I eat plenty of good carbs (my morning oats), fats and protein. I think I have orthorexia, which is an EDOS that I've seen circling around due to us being quarantined. The obsession with food (in a "healthy" way) is dangerous too!!

    Does this apply to painful periods with endometriosis?? My obgyn said eat more green veg, water, exercise lightly but daily, cut red meat and reduce all meat. I do feel better doing that 4 mo later, no PMS and pain dialed back a little but still extreme. I technically get my period but it definitely is irregular. For a time it will be 31 days then 35 days then 53 days? Then 42 days. So yeah. I am sensitive to gluten and dairy so for a while the only thing I would eat was like meat and vegetables with white rice and potatoes and some seafood. I lost a lot of weight not trying to and it was similar to a Paleoish diet but with some legumes and some white rice and mashed potatoes. I ate a lot of meat though and I think that causes some issues. I have tried to be more plant based lately due to my obgyn rec and have added in more legumes, dark greens and whole grains. Months in I have gained a little weight and although my cycle still out of whack PMS got so much better I barely have it. I am going to implement eating more calories because I do naturally eat lower calories due to the intolerance plus reducing the meat because I would get inflamed around period time and get severe cramps. Ahh so mucj conflicting information. Was almost vegan just to fix my cycle. Now I dnt even know 😢

      Yup lol I guess whole would be good to get more regular lol. Have to freshly grind before each use because the healthy omega 3s oxidize. Ground is digested better to if not they come out whole. I use the preground for flax eggs in baking but whole in smoothie and blender grinds it all up.

    I've been into intuitive eating for a while and I get the feeling that eating junk food is okay, but in context of moderation, I was never someone who could just eat a couple of cookies, I always ate a lot, like 7 to 10, I feel restricted if I was to eat 1 or 2, and people say this will pass, but it's been years and I still like to eat a lot, I dont restruct myself, I dont diet or exercise too much...so do you think this is healthy, eating 10 cookies?

      Lucia Fair weird that you’re still having the urge to binge, but I’ve definitely been there. I struggled with it years ago. Strict diets are no no for me. I’ve focused on what my body lets me eat, such as I avoid heavy dairy because I’m lactose intolerant. But I think I also might have a gluten sensitivity because that cause bloating if I eat a lot of pasta. I am aware I need to eat more though, I just need to find more recipes and put time into cooking. I think with us, we need to find joy in our food without overdoing it.
