Eating for Your Cycle, Gut Health & Fertility with Nora DeBora
Your menstrual cycle is doing so much more than you might think.
Whether you are trying to conceive, currently pregnant, or just want to understand your body better, this episode is going to change the way you look at your hormones, your cycle, and what you put on your plate.
I sat down with Nora DeBora, functional fertility coach, holistic nutritionist, and host of the Ultimate Pregnancy Prep Podcast and we got into everything from eating for your cycle to gut health, hormones, and fertility testing that most conventional providers are not even talking about.
This one is packed with the kind of practical, actionable information I wish every woman had way sooner.
Here's What You'll Learn in This Episode:
03:40 – Your menstrual cycle is your monthly report card. Nora walks through each phase of the cycle, what your body is doing hormonally, and the signs and symptoms that are normal versus the ones that are actually red flags worth paying attention to.
16:21 – How Nora tests and treats fertility concerns in her practice. The three tests she runs first and what they are actually looking for that conventional medicine is not catching.
23:52 – What to eat in the follicular phase to support your estrogen, your egg health, and your hormones. (Including the seed cycling protocol that Nora swears by and exactly how to implement it without it feeling overwhelming!!)
27:35 – The luteal phase: why you are hungrier, moodier, and more tired, and what your body actually needs during this time. (Plus the four key nutrients for progesterone production and exactly where to find them in food!)
31:47 – Gut health and hormones: How connected they really are and why Nora says the gut is the foundation of everything, including fertility, hormone balance, skin, and mood.
43:50 – The four things Nora would tell every woman to do right now if she is thinking about getting pregnant.
Your cycle, your gut, your hormones, and how it all connects. And the more you understand about what your body is doing and why, the more empowered you are to support it.
