Cycle-Supporting Nutrition for Active People
by Anne Woetzel on Jan 22 2026
Training doesn’t happen in a hormonal vacuum. Your menstrual cycle can influence appetite, recovery, hydration and how workouts feel week to week. This guide breaks down cycle-supporting nutrition for active people, with simple, realistic ways to fuel during each phase (period, follicular, ovulation, luteal). Expect practical meal ideas, key nutrients like iron and protein and evidence-based tips to stay energised without overdoing it.
Together, we're changing periods for good. Join us!
Our mission is to power women’s potential through better menstrual wellbeing.
We create clean, conscious, high-quality products that prioritise your health and the planet, so you can feel and perform at your best every day of the month.
