You can see all of the sexy claims on social media, to remove this food or that, to change your workouts depending on the phase of your cycle, to take this pill or that supplement - but I can promise you, NOTHING is more important than these things I’ve laid out below in the foundations guide.

💦 Hydration

This is so simple, yet so many people suffer from a variety of symptoms because they are not properly hydrated.

1. Start your day with lemon water + pinch of salt to stimulate digestion and support your liver.
2. Drink a MINIMUM of ½ your bodyweight in ounces per day, I personally shoot for closer to 3 liters/120 oz.
3. Add electrolytes to most drinks (this link will get you a free sample pack with any purchase - DrinkLMNT.com/FitMomLife)
4. Be consistent DAILY! A great tip is to set alarms for every 3 hours, and shoot to get in 20-30 ounces every 3 hours.

🏋️ Exercise

What? I thought too much exercise was bad for hormones? I don’t want to get bulky!

Here is the thing….if you do ONE thing for your health long-term, whether its hormonal, cardiovascular health, bone health, digestive health, etc. It’s this:

Hold adequate muscle mass.

Let’s talk about some benefits:

• Improved insulin sensitivity - helps regulate blood sugar, weight, and hormone signaling/sensitivity.
• Reduced cortisol release - healthy balance of exercise can help the body release less cortisol.
• Increased growth factor - Growth factor helps repair muscle fibers that are damaged during aging or intense exercise.
• Improved testosterone levels - This is one of the main issues I see as women get into their 30’s. Their chronic stress depletes testosterone.

So what do I recommend?
