## Resource

If you’ve ever felt more tired, bloated, hungry, emotional, or just off during certain weeks of your cycle… this episode is for you. In today’s solo episode, I’m breaking down exactly how to WORK WITH your luteal phase instead of fighting against it. We’re talking diet shifts, training adjustments, supplements that actually help, and simple habits that make this phase feel way more manageable. I’m also sharing my personal de-bloat routine, the supplement stack I lean on during this time, a little life update, and yes… some dating updates because you know I can’t not share :-)
