99. REPLAY: Cycle Nutrition 101: Foods Your Body Needs in Every Phase with Danika Vanderpyl

This week we're doing a replay episode from way back in September of 2024! Maybe you've heard about how your body needs different foods in each phase of your cycle, and this episode takes a deep dive into this with my friend Danika Vanderpyl.  As women, we're not linear, robotic creatures that require one thing to fuel us all month long. Throughout each of the phases, our bodies need different things- different movement, self/ soul-care, socializing, nutrition. And this is exactly what Danika and I chat about in this episode.  The best part of it? In our conversation, she breaks it all down into more simple and bite-size strategies so you're not feeling extra overwhelmed. Because, really friend, you don't need more overwhelm than what you're already experiencing!  I'd highly encourage you to grab a notebook and pen and take notes!  Danika Vanderpyl is Certified in Holistic Nutrition with a passion for helping women making eating simple, energizing, and healthy. After facing her own digestive challenges, Danika transformed her favorite recipes into nutrient dense, low-sugar alternatives to heal her body. Now a food blogger she share these wholesome recipes at besidethemoutain.com. As a mom of two boys, Danika is passionate about helping women and mothers thrive in holistic living—from eating to heal the body to hiking to recharge and thrive.
