Cycle Syncing, Microwaves & Electrolyte Hype

from The Wellness Scoop Hosted by The Wellness Scoop

Should we be eating differently across each stage of our cycle? Are microwaves actually harmful, or is it another wellness myth? And do we really need electrolytes, or is it just clever marketing? This week we answer your questions on nutrition for hormone health and PCOS, break down the science behind microwaving and plastic safety, and explore the growing hype around electrolytes. We also talk about how to build a balanced vegetarian diet without over-relying on ultra-processed foods, share trusted menopause resources, and open up about what we’re actually cooking, eating and doing in our own routines right now.
