Periods. They ain’t fun! But that doesn’t mean they have to flip your world upside down every month when mother nature calls. Getting to know your cycle and your period personality is key for not only practicality reasons (we’ve all been caught out without being prepared!) but also for our wellbeing. Periods can provide a key insight into your hormone health, stress levels and so much more.  

Firstly, what’s important to note is every woman is different. And that’s ok. You know your normal and when it comes to striving for a healthy, happy period, what might be helpful for others may not work as well for you. It’s all about trial and error and learning how to tune into your body to make it feel it’s best at, what could be considered, an uncomfortable time.

Hypnotherapist and fertility expert, Maureen Kiely says, 

“My tips for a healthy cycle are mainly around keeping fit and eating healthily. Avoiding too much salt and sugar in the diet and getting to know your body’s sleep patterns can be hugely beneficial in maintaining a regular period. Rest when you can and take pleasure in that surge of energy which can take place at the end of the period.”
