Tired of your menstrual cycle controlling you?
This one is for my ladies…
Does your menstrual cycle seem to have a mind of its own?
Studies show that up to 25% of women have irregular menstrual cycles, but many don’t even realize it!!
Here are a few signs that you might have an irregular menstrual cycle:
Cycle is less than 25 days
Mid-cycle spotting
Delayed ovulation
Alternating periods of light and heavy
Luteal phase less than 10 days
Anovulation
Cycle is more than 35 days
So, why does this happen?
Let’s discuss some of the reasons you might be experiencing irregular cycles:
Getting off hormonal birth control.
Our hormones have to adapt and return back to normal. This could take some time.
Chronic Stress.
Adrenals are being called upon too frequently, leading our bodies to prioritize survival over reproduction.
Over-exercising.
This is going to put the adrenals into overdrive and put our sex hormone production on the back burner.
Magnesium deficiency.
Stress puts a big demand on magnesium, when we are deficient that could play a role in how frequently our period comes.
UNDER EATING (less than 1500cals per day).
YO! Your body is in survival mode!! Our body won't feel comfortable creating hormones if the environment isn't suitable for reproduction.
Drinking coffee on an empty stomach.
Causes our blood sugar to spike and then inevitably crash.
Alright… so how do we solve this!?
