Nastja Starcic: Aligned lifestyle with Menstrual Cycle

In the spirit of Women International Day, I had a beautiful LIVE
conversation on Instagram with a dear friend, about all things
feminine cycle and how to boost your productivity and performance.
We discussed: What should we pay attention to at each phase of the
menstrual cycle in terms of diet, exercise, work and other
activities? Examples of how to eat to support female hormones in
general? Which three nutritional supplements she recommends to
every woman and why? Research shows that women experience 23 days
of reduced focus and productivity at work due to menstrual pain and
discomfort (PMS, menstrual fatigue, headaches, anxiety, mood
swings, insomnia and more). This happens because as young girls, we
were taught to operate in a 'linear' masculine way. But our
feminine energy is much more cyclical. Over the month, our
metabolism, brain chemistry, emotions, and nutritional needs are
consistently changing (mostly due to changing levels of estrogen
and progesterone), affecting how we think, feel and operate.
Because of this, it would be silly for us to eat the same things,
exercise the same way, have the same routines, feel the same
emotions, and expect from ourselves to remain the ‘same’ every
single day. By aligning our nutrition, exercise, social calendar
and even important work engagements, we can boost our health,
performance and productivity. At the end of the day, our energy,
focus, productivity, self-confidence, libido, weight, appetite...
they are all tied to our menstrual cycle and supporting the cycle
can make all the difference between feeling depleted and feeling on
top of the world. Nastja is a Nutritional Therapist, Women's Health
Coach and Founder of Parbati, helping ambitious women achieve
healthy periods with nutrition and a cycle-aligned lifestyle. Her
own experience of living and working with irregular and difficult
menstrual cycles inspired her to focus her work on improving the
menstrual health of her clients. She obtained Nutrition Diploma
through the College of Naturopathic Medicine in Dublin and have
completed further training on hormones, reproductive and menstrual
health with Dr. Jolene Brighten, Nicole Jardim and Alisa Vitti.
