Always check for fire 🔥
Just saying…
A dinner of salmon, potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and a Greek yogurt sauce hits omega-3s, potassium, magnesium, protein, and electrolytes.
Come day 3 post ovulation & watch “Not tonight, I have a headache” turn into “Meet me upstairs” 🔥
Probably a better game plan than grabbing her butt while she’s unloading the dishwasher and hoping for the best. 😉
Oh and yeah, bonus points for chore play when you actually load and unload the dishwasher.
And on those *thankfully now* rare mornings, I have a protein shake with a high quality, well sourced .ingredients protein powder.
My preference is always whole food I can sit and actually chew, but those mornings where I know my body is asking for nourishment but I just can’t fathom eating, aka the ick, this is my solution.
Today’s shake:
Just Ingredients Bryce’s Banana Bread Protein Powder
Flaxseed (for more ovulatory phase support)
Whole Milk
Lots of Ice 🧊
and that’s all folks!
“I’ll get to it later” — dangerous words in the luteal phase.
Dare to break through the cycle
This is cycle synced marriage.
Not just supplements and food and workouts, but a husband who deeply understands my cycle, pays attention to the shifts, notices the luteal phase before I even say anything, and understands that my needs are different from his, not less important.
I truly believe part of how I keep PMDD in remission is through support. Through feeling safe enough to express myself. Through leaning on God, my husband, and the people who love me instead of trying to carry everything alone.
A man who is truly in tune and providing safety for his wife can make a woman feel more centered, more capable, less overwhelmed, more loved, and more fulfilled.

Your energy, cravings, mood, sleep, appetite, nervous system, and even how you experience motherhood can shift throughout your cycle. Supporting your cycle will support YOU!
Here I share the things that helped me feel more supported in my cycle, my nervous system, motherhood, and my overall health.
In case you need it for reference, here’s a cycle overview ⬇️
Menstrual Phase:
Your bleed. 🩸
Typically around days 1–5.
Follicular Phase:
Begins after your bleed ends and lasts until ovulation approaches.
Typically around days 6–10.
Ovulatory Phase:
Your fertile window when cervical mucus increases and ovulation occurs.
Typically around days 11–15.
Luteal Phase:
Begins after ovulation and lasts until your next period.
Typically around days 16–28.
If you want to simplify cycle syncing even more, you can also think of each phase as roughly one week. This can be especially helpful if you do not have a regular cycle, are postpartum, stressed, healing, or not actively tracking ovulation yet.
Follow along for practical cycle syncing, hormone literacy, nourishment, PMDD support, and realistic motherhood support 🤍
