What foods and movement will serve you best?
What practises will help to nurture your body during the different seasons of your menstrual cycle?
Being a type A personality, I have a history of pushing through with work tasks and also the way I exercised, no matter what time of my cycle I was in. Over the past 15 years, a huge focus of mine has been eating healthy foods, but what I didn't understand until I delved into Ayuvedic and traditional Chinese Medicine readings was that I was ignoring the types of (healthy) foods that would truely nourish my body according to my monthly cycle. I was intrigued!
My latest podcast chat with Dr Bree is one to tune into as she'll explain the different seasons of a woman's cycle and how you can honour your body physically, emotionally and spiritually during these times.
Dr Bree is a Mumma to her little boy Ziggy and Doctor Of Traditional Chinese Medicine and has a strong interest in women's health, treating different hormonal conditions, fertility, pregnancy, post partum care and menopause. Bree studied in Adelaide at the Endeavour College of Natural Health and completed a small internship at the Guangzhou Hospital in China.
