Late luteal phase support (the 7 days before your period).
This phase can bring some uncomfortable PMS symptoms—but with the right support, we can help the body feel a little more balanced, calm, and nourished.
✨ 1. Support inflammation & histamine.
What we eat and drink in this phase can impact PMS. Try reducing alcohol, limiting caffeine, and being mindful of high sugar intake—these can all drive inflammation and potentially worsen symptoms.
✨ 2. Stabilise blood sugar.
It’s completely normal to feel a little hungrier in this phase—your body is asking for more energy. Focus on balanced meals every 4 hours, no long fast windows. Each meal to contain nutrient dense whole foods:
• High-quality protein
• Healthy fats
• Fibre-rich plant foods
• Wholefood complex carbs
Add a whole food complex carb like sweet potato, quinoa, brown rice, or legumes to the evening meal to support mood and sleep by assisting serotonin + melatonin balance.
✨ 3. Adjust movement & training if needed.
Your body may crave slower, gentler movement.
Think walking, stretching, yoga—or simply more rest if needed. Listen in.
✨ 4. Hydration & sleep are key.
Stay well hydrated and protect your sleep routine—this is foundational for hormone balance and recovery.
✨ 5. Consider targeted support.
Magnesium, B vitamins, zinc, vitamin C, vitamin E, fish oils and calming nervous system herbs may be helpful during this phase.
✨ 6. Regulate your nervous system, create space for calm.
Nature, journaling, breathwork, meditation, or meaningful connection—whatever helps you feel grounded and supported.
