Reclaim your cycle and support your health with this detailed guide
featuring 100+ recipes and practices from RN, and author of How to Grow
a Baby, Amy Hammer.
There is no one-size-fits-all guide to your cycle. But registered nurse
Amy Hammer arms you with a strong foundation in physiology and hormonal
health, explores historical and sociocultural aspects of women's health,
and reimagines the phases of the menstrual cycle as aligning with the
four seasons to provide a detailed guide for living well in your body.
Also included are nutritive recipes (kabocha squash curry soup, seed
balls, wild salmon congee), supportive movement practices to incorporate
into your whole day (abdomen relief stretch, buddy walking, foam
rolling), and self-care rituals and recipes (dandelion-infused breast
massage oil, alternate nostril breathing) to guide you through each
phase of the menstrual cycle and of life--from the young adult and
menstruating years to perimenopause and menopause.
Become in tune with your internal rhythm, reclaim the meaning of
self-care, and cultivate optimal health for every season of life. This
comprehensive, body-literate guide includes:
-
40 nutrient-dense, menstrual-phase specific recipes that support
hormonal, emotional, cognitive, gut, and overall health.
-
The science behind menstrual cycles and how hormonal fluctuation
impacts your brain, breasts, skin, and weight.
-
How to track your cycle using fertility awareness methods, allowing
you to naturally and effectively avoid or pursue pregnancy.
-
Supportive full-body movement, self-care, and nutrition tips that
optimize physiological and hormonal health throughout the phases and
your lifespan.
