A Cycle Syncing Recipe
Eating in sync with your menstrual cycle can offer a multitude of benefits to support your overall well-being. By aligning your nutritional choices with the different phases of your cycle, you can better support hormonal balance, optimize your energy levels, AND minimize or completely get rid of those PMS symptoms. This recipe focuses on Bison as the primary protein. During the menstrual phase, focusing on iron-rich and nutrient-dense foods, like red meat, and incorporating foods that promote relaxation and reduce inflammation can help ease discomfort and restore the body.
By tailoring your eating habits to your cycle, you can nourish your body and enhance your overall vitality. Here are other protein ideas for each cycle phase.
Follicular - Chicken, Eggs, Trout, Green Lentil
Ovulatory - Lamb, Salmon, Shrimp, Tuna, Red Lentil, Quinoa
Luteal - Beef, Turkey, Code, Halibut, Chickpea, Navy Bean
Menstrual - Bison, Duck, Pork, Clam, Catfish, Mussel, Kidney Bean
To note, I don’t always have the exact ingredients to make a perfect cycle-synced meal. Everything in this recipe does not align with one phase of the cycle, and that’s ok. What is nourishing to one person, may not be to another. If you are new to cycle syncing a great book to gain more knowledge is In the Flo by Alisa Vitti.

Carrot Fries: Why You’ll Love Them
Traditionally, regular or sweet potatoes are used as fries. Try swapping the potatoes for carrots fries. Carrots are packed with essential nutrients, Vitamin K, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, supporting eye health, promoting healthy digestion, and boosting immunity. Plus they are just as sweet as sweet potatoes when baked in the oven.

Make It Your Own
Embrace flexibility with your recipes. This will open up a world of creativity and help you become more resourceful in the kitchen. So, let go of rigid rules, trust your instincts, and customize recipes to suit your own palate and needs.
Swap the bison, for ground turkey, chicken, or a veggie pattie
Skip the potatoes
Saute the red onion instead of eating raw
Use romaine or spinach instead of arugula
Instead of making a sauce use a spoonful of Dijon mustard
