A core principle of the Flo Living protocol is choosing what you eat to fit the phase of your menstrual cycle that you are experiencing at that time. I call this cycle-syncing. My book, “WomanCode,” provides a comprehensive list of what is good to eat for each cycle phase from vegetables to meats to seasonings. Although this theory is very easy to understand - 80% of the time you enjoy the foods that best support your health within your cycle phase - the practice, as with all lifestyle changes, sometimes feels a little more tricky. I advise women to commit their first month of living in their Flo to concentrating just on the food side of things and getting their fridge and pantry stocked right. Doing this alone is going to have a positive impact on your periods, your fertility, your energy, your mood, and your libido. Which is why I thought it might be helpful for me to show you inside my fridge, my freezer and my pantry, as well as exactly which brands I choose and where I buy them, so that you can see what I really eat on a phase-to-phase basis.As you know, I only use products that are not filled with toxic chemical and artificial ingredients. But sometimes, this can feel exhausting, take so much time, and can feel like a huge drain on the wallet.Thankfully, I’ve discovered a new resource that makes shopping for healthy groceries so much easier.
