hey guys in this video we’re going to

talk about your menstrual cycle and

cravings now the minister cycle is very

complex so I’m not going to get into the

complexities we’re just going to talk

about generally what’s happening during

certain parts of the cycle and if you

crave at certain points what you would

need

okay so here’s day 14 when you’re

ovulating okay day 28 and then you’re

going to right before your actual

menstruation where you’re having your

period right here okay

so now if you are craving during

ovulation that means there’s a problem

with estrogen so you would need to

consume more cruciferous vegetables

and/or seek help because iodine and

cruciferous vegetables really help to

balance estrogen all right so that’s

what you do during this phase right here

but most women crave right before they

men straight okay so this is the kind of

phase with that when they have PMS so

they may have a lot of mood issues

irritability depression so you have a

lot going on

not to mention cravings for all sorts of

things chocolate you know whatever so

what you want to do if you have a

problem at this point is you need a lot

more B vitamins okay I recommend you

trishal yeast and whatever it says to

take on the bottle if you’re taking

tablets double the dosage okay

especially vitamin b1 that’s going to

really help this phase right here if you

can get some Sun to get vitamin D that

would be also good but mainly it’s a B

vitamin deficiency in vitamin C

deficiency vitamin C is really important

in this phase as well and you can

diminish the symptoms so you can get

vitamin C from sauerkraut or you can get

it from the store but make sure it’s a

food based vitamin C don’t just take

synthetic vitamin C like ascorbic acid a

food base but sauerkraut is actually

really good because that will also help

your digestion as well now what about

during the cycle itself you could have

cravings you can have cramps

I so you have a whole series of things

that happen excessive bleeding so at

this point the the best remedy would be

a calcium magnesium in the form of an

orotate it’s called or take calcium

orotate sometimes you can get it

combined but I like the word tape

because it penetrates the cell a lot

deeper but calcium magnesium will

dramatically and improve your cramping

and cravings if you have them right

during your period okay now post

menstruation right here you probably

lost some blood and you’re gonna be low

in iron maybe a little anemic and you

might crave things as well especially if

you’re like crave ice you’re chewing an

ice that’s an iron deficiency so I would

recommend red meats is make sure it’s

grass-fed but that’s gonna actually put

the iron back in pretty fast also you

can get different forms of iron in the

green green leafy vegetables and

definitely kale like a kale shake red

meat that would be really good post your

cycle especially if you crave certain

things now if you’re if you’ve gone

through menopause it’s a little

different situation because you’re no

longer having your cycle but maybe you

just crave in general or maybe you have

like a hint of a cycle coming on but it

doesn’t kind of go through so the number

one deficiency that shows up in

menopause is a vitamin E deficiency and

a lot of vitamin E is stored in the

pituitary gland to actually as a

precursor to make sex hormones like

estrogen and testosterone and things

like that so because you’re not having

your cycle you’re not needing those

hormones the vitamin E really drops

dramatically in the body so if you were

to increase vitamin E you would see some

great improvements raw sunflower seeds

probably your best bet some of the other

seeds would be good too but it can’t be

roasted it has to be raw almonds really

important and leafy greens like even

snap peas or green beans are really good

anything green is going to give you good

amounts of vitamin E now if you’re low

in estrogen and you’re having like

say hot flashes boron is really really

good as well that’s a mineral a trace

mineral that can elevate estrogen it’s

not going to bring it out of the range

but it’s going to bring it to a normal

level okay so there you have it that’s a

little summary of what you would do for

various cravings at certain points of

your menstrual cycle thanks for watching
