This blog post is dedicated to you, because like me I am sure there are lots of women out there struggling to understand what is happening to their bodies throughout their monthly cycle.

The truth is, we are all more normal than we think, and we are doing a disservice to our body by not being aware of why we feel the way we feel.

These habits may include hitting the snooze button, looking at your phone and social media, going for a morning walk, eating breakfast, or not.

What we do each morning plays a role in determining our day ahead. If you begin the day by looking at negative media, sculling coffee as you race out the door or telling yourself that it is going to be a bad day, you have already set your intentions and will find that all these actions and behaviours will flow on into your day ahead. If you instead, set yourself up with actions in the morning to create a healthy morning routine, you will start to see how this can change your entire day.

Fiber is a natural compound found only in plants. From a nutritional point of view, fiber is a complex carbohydrate. But unlike refined sugar, fiber cannot be digested by our body, simply because it lacks the proper enzymes to do that. This fiber passes unchanged through the gastrointestinal tract, until it reaches the colon. Here, the microbiome converts it into compounds that can be absorbed by our colon, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), certain B vitamins, and vitamin K
