NUTRIENT AND HORMONE CYCLE SYNC: OVULATION

Some of you might be past ovulation right now or perhaps ovulating. I have waited with this post to see the full moon phase (which usually is observed at the same time with most ovulations).

NUTRIENT AND HORMONE CYCLE SYNC: FOLLICULAR PHASE

Your hormone levels are starting to raise up now. The pituitary gland then releases follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) aiding your body to grow around 30 follicles (tiny sacs of fluid in the ovaries walls) out of which only 1 of them will keep growing.

THE HORMONAL PILL DEPLETES FROM VITAMINS

One of the side effects you’re not being told before taking the hormonal pill is how the mix of hormones will affect negatively your thyroid. Your thyroid is literally the motor of your hormones.
