Use Your Menstrual Cycle to Supercharge Your Diet, Reclaim Your Energy, & Honor Your Unique Biology

Show Description

A woman’s hormonal landscape changes dramatically throughout her life. Because of this unique biology, understanding her menstrual cycle and its rhythm can be incredibly useful for optimizing productivity, weight, sex drive, energy, and mood..
On today’s Broken Brain Podcast, our host Dhru talks to Dr. Stephanie Estima, an expert in female metabolism and body composition. She is a doctor of chiropractic with a special interest in functional neurology, brain metabolism, and the specific application of the ketogenic diet and fasting to female physiology. Using her framework, The ESTIMA Method™, she is particularly focused on distilling strategies in nutritional proxies, movement, posture, and mindset to actualize human potential, healthspan, longevity, and achievement..
In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Estima talk about how to eat according to your menstrual cycle, and why women are not meant to calorie restrict over the long term or be in ketosis over the long term. They discuss when women’s bodies best tolerate fasting and the different types of fasts across a women’s cycle. They also talk about how to change your exercise routine based on your menstrual cycle and the importance of taking the time to recover and slow down..
In this episode, we dive into:
Why men and women respond differently to a ketogenic diet (6:55).
Why a woman shouldn’t be on a ketogenic diet all the time (13:57).
Why resistant starches are so important and how to incorporate them into your diet (15:49).
What is a ketogenic diet and why has it become so popular (17:20).
The four phases of a women’s menstrual cycle (25:31).
How to eat during the different phases of your cycle (38:03).
The two ways you build muscle in the body (40:43).
Outcome goals vs. behavioral goals (58:54).
Why org*sms should be part of your self-care regime (1:09:57).
Nutrition, fasting, and exercise considerations if you are in menopause (1:12:06).
Setting boundaries and prioritizing your health (1:14:55).
Where to learn more about Dr. Estima (1:19:42).

There are so many hormones involved in our monthly menstrual cycle. They are responsible for the release of the egg, the building and shedding of our uterine lining, and how we feel! Here are the 5 hormones involved in our monthly cycle:1. Estrogen! This is the one we hear about the most, and it is often called the growth hormone because it helps grow the lining of our uterus so that if we do become pregnant, it can keep the egg safe and help it grow. Estrogen is a female sex hormone that is produced in our ovaries, fat cells and our adrenal glands. 2. Progesterone. This one we don’t hear about as often but it balances the effects of estrogen. Meaning, that if we aren’t pregnant, our progesterone levels will rise and the lining of our uterus will shed. It is another female sex hormone, and it’s fluctuation can also cause the symptoms of PMS and PMDD. 3. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). This hormone helps stimulate our ovaries and mature an egg so that it can be ready to be released. 4. Luteinizing Hormone (LH). This hormone is responsible for the actual release of the mature egg. 5. Testosterone. This hormone increases right before our period and during ovulation. It increases our sex drive as well as helping keep our bone density and muscle mass up. So that if we do become pregnant, we can actually handle being pregnant and have the baby. We have a lot going on each and every month! So many hormones shifting and making our cycles possible. Whenever one of my clients talks about having bad PMS or PMDD I always ask them to track their mood. I often have them write it down each day so that we can see when it’s hardest for them. That’s why I decided to work with Clue app. It’s a period tracking app that also allows you to track your mood and physical pain. The more you tell it, the better it gets at predicting your mood and PMS symptoms. Check it out! I find it helpful to know when we may feel bad so that we can plan ahead! xox-****PLEASE READ****.

FOLLICULAR: You have more energy, less appetite. Metabolism is slower so you want to focus on HIIT and other metabolism boosting, fat burning workouts. I do 3-4 SWEAT classes on BBFIT and you can also workout longer 45-60 mins. During this time you can eat lower carb, focus more on healthy fats, proteins and non-starchy high fiber veggies..
OVULATORY: during this time you feel SEXY! do workouts that make you feel connected to your body and eat what makes you feel like the goddess you are!
LUTEAL: Metabolism is faster which is why we are hungrier and its OK to eat more. Make sure you’re eating lots of healthy fats and protein to stay energised and full longer, plus add in more healthy complex carbs. Workout LESS because we don’t want to raise our cortisol and focus on TONING workouts. I do 3-4 SCULPT classes from BBFIT and focus on working out for 30 mins to keep cortisol lower..
