I am almost 40 years old and I couldn't be more excited about it! I am grateful for every step in my path and for the experiences that led me to the point where I am today. There is a lot I have learned about my own body, I used to think that more was more and less was not enough. I have learned to nourish my body so I can thrive. During these years I have been helping women in their own course of action, struggles and journeys and for this I kept studying and keeping my curiosity alive. 

 

I recently gave birth to my most recent program called Synced, to show every woman there is a way to move, nourish and support their bodies without feeling depleted.

 

These are the main topics exposed in this episode to help you understand the different phases of your cycle:

 

• ● Do you feel you are eating the right foods for your cycle?
• ● Four distinct phases of the cycle.
• ● The follicular phases.
• ● Foods you should add to your diet during each phase.
