Our body will always prioritize survival over fertility.
Ever feel like your body is working against you? Jenna Longoria, affectionately known as The Period Guru, knows that struggle all too well. In this enlightening episode of 'Don't Eat Your Feelings with Mindfulbellie', host Ellie Rome chats with Jenna about the transformative power of understanding and balancing your hormones. Jenna, a board-certified functional nutrition practitioner, opens up about her own battles with chronic dieting, bulimia, PCOS, and endometriosis.
Her journey led her to develop a holistic approach that combines functional medicine, nutrition, and diagnostic lab testing to help women reclaim their hormonal and digestive health. Jenna’s philosophy is simple yet profound: listen to your body. She emphasizes the importance of releasing diet dogma and tuning into what your body truly needs. One of the key takeaways from their conversation is the concept of cycle syncing.
Jenna explains how tracking your menstrual cycle can provide invaluable insights into your health and well-being. By understanding the different phases of your cycle, you can optimize your diet, exercise, and lifestyle to support hormonal balance. The episode also tackles common misconceptions about PMS and birth control. Jenna argues that while PMS is common, it’s not normal and can often be managed through lifestyle and dietary changes.
She also shares her views on why birth control isn’t always the best solution for conditions like PCOS and endometriosis. Instead, she advocates for addressing gut health and managing stress—both emotional and environmental—as essential steps towards hormonal harmony. Ellie and Jenna’s discussion is packed with practical advice and heartfelt stories. They highlight the importance of body awareness and self-compassion, encouraging women to honor their bodies' needs, especially during their menstrual cycles.
Jenna’s insights are not just about managing symptoms but about thriving through every phase of life. Whether you’re struggling with chronic dieting or looking to better understand your hormonal health, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge and support. Tune in to learn how you can start charting your cycle, balance your hormones, and live a more harmonious life.
