NOT JUST A PERIOD🩸 ✨PRE-ORDER TODAY✨ It’s been so hard to keep this a secret… When I wrote The Female Factor my aim was to raise awareness and change the narrative around women’s health. For too long, women have been viewed as ‘small men,’ and I wanted to highlight the unique and powerful ways women experience health and well-being.I hoped this book would be a solution, and while it has helped many, it’s also sparked a much bigger conversation about the real challenges in menstrual health. Since its publication in 2022, my inbox has been flooded with messages from women sharing stories of debilitating cycle symptoms and the disappointment of being dismissed by healthcare professionals with the all-too-common phrase, ‘it’s just a period.’ In recent years, we’ve seen a huge drive to raise awareness around menopause, which has been incredible to witness! Yet we still lack the same level of support and understanding around living happily with our cycles each month, instead of merely surviving them. So I wanted to create a book — an essential guide — bringing together research, community-driven surveys, case studies and research-backed lifestyle practices, so you can feel empowered in optimising your own health at every stage of your cycle 🙌 A huge HUGE thank you to everyone who contributed to and worked on this book and to my publishers @booksbybluebird for bringing it to life 🥹 Out May 2025.

Let’s talk about this lower belly “bump” that many of us have 💬 So firstly, for most women, it’s a completely normal part of anatomy. Hormones influence where we store body fat, and women naturally tend to carry more subcutaneous fat around the lower abdomen than men. The shape and angle of the female pelvis can also make this area appear more obvious. Anterior pelvic tilt is another factor that can make the lower abdomen look more pronounced in some people, but it’s not unique to women, many men have it too. Certain times of your cycle you might feel like this curvature is also more obvious due to water retention and bloating. ⚠️All of that said, if you notice a new lump, bump or swelling in your lower abdomen, don’t dismiss it as normal as in some cases, it can be due to something underlying like a very large fibroid. The last thing I’ll say is that women’s bodies aren’t supposed to look completely flat and a lower abdominal curve is very much often a normal part of healthy body ♥️ Original creator : @livnevill (thank you for starting the conversation!!) #lowerbelly #womenshealth

Loaded Sweet Potatoes with Crispy Chickpeas & Tahini Drizzle Comment IRON and I’ll send you the recipe! A few quick things to know about iron: 🥩 Haem iron is found in animal foods and is generally more easily absorbed (e.g. red meat, poultry and fish). 🫘 Non-haem iron is found mostly in plant foods and is less readily absorbed. Good sources include beans, lentils, tofu, nuts, seeds, leafy greens and fortified cereals. Things that can help improve the absorption of non-haem iron: 🍊 Pairing iron-rich foods with vitamin C-rich foods (e.g. citrus fruits, berries, peppers and tomatoes). 🍗 Including haem iron in the same meal, which can help enhance the absorption of non-haem iron (grilled chicken thighs would go great with this salad) ☕️ Enjoying tea, coffee and matcha between meals, rather than alongside iron-rich foods. 🥛Large amounts of calcium (and calcium supplements) may also reduce iron absorption from a meal. 🫘 Soaking, sprouting or fermenting grains and legumes can help reduce phytates, which may otherwise impair iron absorption. 📝Finally, remember that foods contain a mix of nutrients so while some factors can influence iron absorption from a specific meal, it’s often impractical to optimise all the time ☺️ #ironrich #mealprep #nourishingher

1 HOUR MEAL PREP ⏰ If I could only recommend one eating pattern for women’s health, it would probably be a Mediterranean style dietary pattern. Research suggests it may support fertility, women with PMOS, endometriosis-related pain and health after the menopause, alongside its well-established benefits for heart and metabolic health. This week’s meal prep is inspired by those principles: 🥣 Granola Breakfast Parfait with homemade nut & seed granola, live yogurt and berries. 🥗 Pearl Couscous & Butter Bean Salad with halloumi, olives and a lemon herb dressing. 🥚 Prep-Ahead Egg Cups with pesto, spinach, peppers and feta. Comment “RECIPES” below and I’ll send all three recipes straight to your DMs. Which one are you making first? 👇 #mealprep #nourishingher #mediterraneandiet

Homemade “magnums” 🍦 Deep in the luteal phase and all i’m craving is chocolate but also it’s 32 degrees outside (and about 35 degrees in my kitchen right now) so I am so grateful I stumbled across these homemade healthier magnums! I can’t say they replace the original 😮‍💨 but they are VERY good 🤝 I’ve seen so many people make this recipe so I’m not sure who the original credit goes to but I based mine on @boredoflunch recipe (thank you!!) Ingredients: 🍌2 bananas 🥣150g yogurt or kefir 🥜 2 tbsp peanut butter 🍫 150g dark chocolate* 🥥 1-2 tsp coconut oil (Optional) 🌰handful of almonds, chopped Method : blend the banana, yogurt and nut butter in a blender. Pour into moulds and freeze until set. Melt the chocolate with a little bit of coconut oil and add the chopped almonds. Dip the ice creams into the chocolate and freeze until set. Remove from freezer for 3-4 mins before eating 😙 #magnums #heathymagnums #heatwave *you will have LOADS left over. I poured the rest into ice cube trays and allow to set!

Is matcha making your hair fall out? 👀 well, possibly… You see matcha contains tannins that can reduce the absorption of non-haem iron (the type of iron found mostly in plant foods) 🍵 💊If you have low iron, are iron deficient, or are taking an iron supplement, try leaving 1–2 hours between your matcha and iron-rich meals or supplements to help maximise absorption. ⚠️That said, if you have iron deficiency (or your hair is falling out) it’s important not to assume matcha is the cause! Heavy periods, inadequate dietary intake, gut conditions and other underlying causes should be considered too - speak to your usual doc if concerned. #matcha #hairloss #irondeficiency
