TTMP 37: Periods, Cravings, and Understanding Your Hormones Through Body Literacy with Isabel Garza

Dream with me for a moment and imagine a world where women stop feeling guilty and ashamed because of their periods, cravings, or hormones. Wouldn’t that be great? In today’s episode, we get a sneak peek into how we can all strive to get there.  

 Our guest, Isabel is talking all about how you can cultivate a deep understanding of your body through body literacy. Understanding how your body changes over a month will help you to care for and nurture yourself from a place of empowerment and intention. Here’s a sneak peek at what we discussed:

• Body Literacy and how it can help you nourish and support your body from a place of empowerment and intention
• Why we should be paying more attention to our hormones
• Why food restriction and hormonal pills are not sustainable solutions for addressing period problems
• How women who experience period problems can support themselves without restrictive diets and plans
