Period Problems

Period Problems: Understanding Your Cycle 🩸

Is it just me, or does it feel like you’ve spent half your life navigating the mysteries of your period without really understanding what’s going on? 🤔 We often ignore the subtle—and not so subtle—messages our bodies send us, especially when it comes to hormonal imbalances. These imbalances can show up in the form of unexplained fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, painful periods, irregular cycles, and even acne that seems to pop up out of nowhere.

We often dismiss these signs as “normal,” because that’s what we’ve been taught. But guess what? They’re not normal! They’re your body’s way of signaling that something is off, and it’s time to listen.


Why You Deserve to Feel Your Best 💖

You shouldn’t have to live with unexplained fatigue, hormonal imbalances, or painful periods that disrupt your daily life. Unfortunately, many women do. Even though rates of PCOS, endometriosis, and hormonal issues are on the rise, the solutions often fall short. Pills and temporary fixes can mask the symptoms, but they rarely get to the root causes of these health issues.

It wasn’t until I started my own journey with hormonal health that I realized how much we’re all in the dark about our bodies. I spent years masking my symptoms with birth control, not understanding the true cause of my imbalances. It wasn’t until I took a Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) class before my wedding that I truly started to connect the dots between my hormones, my cycle, and how I felt.

Now, I approach my cycle with awareness and grace, embracing the ebb and flow of my energy, hunger, and mood. And this shift hasn’t just been transformative for me—it’s helped countless clients regain control over their health by understanding their bodies and healing from within.


Are You Asking Yourself These Questions? 🤔

If you’re struggling with hormonal issues, you’re not alone. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering any of the following, it’s time for a change:

  • “When was the last time I had my period?”
  • “Is this heavy cramping and bleeding really normal?”
  • “Doesn’t everyone take a sick day on the first day of their cycle?”
  • “Why do I have acne now as an adult?”
  • “Wait, I don’t need ovulation sticks to know I’m ovulating?”
  • “What is with all this facial hair?”
  • “Ugh, sex again? No thanks!”

If any of these sound familiar, then you’re in the right place. It’s time to break free from the cycle of guesswork and frustration and take control of your hormonal health.


How We Help: A Functional Approach to Your Health 💪

At Chews Food Wisely, we take a functional nutrition approach to your health, which means we’re focused on understanding and addressing the root causes of your symptoms. We don’t just look at your hormonal health in isolation; we consider how your gut health, thyroid function, stress levels, detoxification, blood sugar, and inflammation all play a part in the bigger picture.

Whether you’re struggling with PCOS, endometriosis, adrenal fatigue, or thyroid dysfunction, we help you uncover the true cause of your symptoms and guide you toward lasting, sustainable solutions that don’t rely on quick fixes. Here’s how we do it:

  1. Personalized Nutrition Plans: We use advanced testing and comprehensive assessment tools to dive deep into your health, addressing the root causes of your hormone imbalances, rather than just masking the symptoms.
  2. Thyroid Health: We focus on optimizing thyroid function through diet and lifestyle changes to support your energy levels, metabolism, and overall well-being.
  3. Gut Health: A healthy gut is crucial for hormonal balance. We help you heal your digestive system to reduce inflammation and support proper hormone metabolism.
