The Bean Talk - Episode 35: Everything you weren't taught in Sex Education about your cycle
TW: this episode mentions eating disorders and body image.
This week's episode is all about education. Riannon sits down with Mungbean naturopath Brittany to chat about the things Sex Ed didn't teach you about the menstrual cycle and hormone health.
We discuss the four cycle phases, why ovulation is the real star, how to match movement, sleep and nutrition to each phase, and what PMS is trying to tell you.
We also unpack anovulatory cycles and PCOS, safer period products, carb needs through the luteal phase, the role of magnesium, and simple lifestyle shifts to support hormone health.
If you're wanting to learn more about your body, what these phases mean or how to use them to your advantage, this episode has everything you need.
