Super insightful conversation on the podcast today

Super insightful conversation on the podcast today with Dr. Cait Van Damm of @ritualpelvichealth! Pelvic health has been a highly requested topic and I was very happy to have Cait share her expertise with us. She is a pelvic floor therapist specializing in treating pelvic pain across the gender spectrum. We talk about why you have to pee constantly, the impact of birth control on your pelvic health, how your pelvic floor changes through different life stages, what to do if your menstrual cup is falling out, and much more. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your favorite shows! (Also if you enjoyed this episode and have learned a lot from listening to The Lunar Body, please consider giving a positive rating on Apple Podcasts or Spotify so other amazing people like you can find the show!)

The first episode of The Lunar Body Season 3 is no

The first episode of The Lunar Body Season 3 is now live! It’s The Abortion Episode, and I put it together to provide information you or someone you care about may be looking for all in one place. I cover:

➡️ The methods of abortion, including what to expect during the termination in-clinic or at home with pills
➡️ Why it’s strongly recommended to avoid herbal abortion (the above is a clip, I go into more detail in the episode)
➡️ How to care for yourself afterwards and common questions you might have about what happens when it’s over
➡️ Resources on medical (at-home) abortion and how to gain access especially if you live in a restricted state
➡️ How you can support people in need (including donating to @abortionfunds @nationalabortionfederation)

This season on The Lunar Body, I’ll also cover pelvic health, meal planning for a healthy menstrual cycle, supporting your child’s health and spiritual development, nutrition for your intuition, birth control options, menstrual product options, preconception planning, color magic, and more fun things!

Thank you for sticking around while I took a break for a few months, I’m so glad you’re here!

Hi, it’s been a while. I’m ignoring Instagram

Hi, it’s been a while. I’m ignoring Instagram for the summer, but had some thoughts to share because I’m reflecting on what I want for Good Witch Kitchen from here on out. (This is from an email I sent out this afternoon.) I’m 5+ years into my business and always evolving!

This week's podcast guest is.... ME! I suppose I'm

This week's podcast guest is.... ME! I suppose I'm always my own guest, but this week I'm answering all your big questions about PMS, PCOS, intuitive eating, cycle-syncing, and more.

It's also the last episode of the season. I am PSYCHED because we hit 20,000 downloads last week!!!!! And by some miracle we are also *veryclose* to 25,000 now!!! You are all so amazing and I appreciate every second you choose to spend your precious time listening to the show.

And one last reminder: $100 off my #cyclesyncing course CYCLE MAGIC for podcast listeners expires on May 11! You'll have to listen to the show for the code 🙂

Thank you, thank you, thank you for making season 2 so worth the effort. I hope you got a lot out of the last 17 episodes and I can't wait to start working on season 3!

Do you know about nettle? You may have heard me talk about this during my hair regrowth saga (and I share a little more about it on tomorrow’s podcast episode about creating your own herbal practice), but maybe this is your first time meeting this nutritious herb! Nettle is highly nourishing and rich in vitamins and minerals and protein. Also good for cramps! Because cramps are often associated with mineral depletion, nettles can help replenish them.⠀
⠀
Magnesium, in particular, is notable for its muscle-relaxing qualities and it reduces painful prostaglandins as well. Nettle also protects the liver, which you’ll want to support for proper hormone elimination (links to studies are on my site — Herbs for Period Pain article). ⠀
⠀
If you’re drinking nettle tea, it’s… an acquired taste IMO. I always like to have it in a blend with better-tasting herbs. I usually do a mix of nettle, peppermint, ginger, and milky oats (I often use that or marshmallow root). ⠀

Intuitive eating is all well and good til you actu

Intuitive eating is all well and good til you actually start trying it… and you come upon all these mental roadblocks. It’s not an overnight fix, it’s definitely a PROCESS. Think about it—we’ve gone our whole lives conditioned with diet culture messaging. It’s going to take some time to unlearn that too.

In this week’s episode of The Lunar Body, #weightinclusive health coach @tomeshacampbell joins me to talk about some of the most common areas of resistance when it comes to fully embracing #intuitiveeating. We discuss separating working out from weight loss, what to do when your job interferes with the process, how to bring intuition and variety into meal planning, balancing pleasure and nutrition, and so much more.

Thank you to those who sent in questions and to Tomesha for sharing her wisdom with all of us ☺️

Earlier this month I got to give my favorite presentation, Intuition Nutrition, to a pretty massive group (hello if you’re here from that day! 👏). We talked about expanding our cosmic awareness by nourishing our brains and nervous systems for better focus and energy. My “All the Greens!” salad is full of these foods — blueberries with antioxidants that stimulate blood flow and oxygen to your brain, leafy greens that protect your brain and support energy production in the body, coconut and almonds with healthy fat for mental clarity. Plus the kale and Brussels sprouts make this a great ovulatory phase recipe (which we are semi-still in with this weekend’s full moon… moving towards luteal!) because they support the liver in detoxifying excess estrogen at this time. Get the details on my site under Blog > Recipes, which you can sort by cycle phase 🌝

Dealing with PMS? Did you know that nutrient defic

Dealing with PMS? Did you know that nutrient deficiencies can exacerbate your symptoms?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This is emphasized if you’re transitioning off the pill after a long time being on it — it’s widely known to be associated with deficiencies in B vitamins, Vitamin C, zinc, and magnesium, among others.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
These vitamins support your adrenal health, immune system, energy production, and more — all things that keep your body healthy and in balance so that you aren’t experiencing stress that ultimately can impact your period. These vitamins also support the liver in doing its job of detoxifying excess hormones, and a sluggish liver is related to hormone imbalance.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
To support your health with pill-related nutrient deficiencies, I recommend eating foods like leafy greens, nuts and seeds, vibrantly colored foods like berries and bell peppers, proteins like meat, eggs, and seafood, or protein like beans, lentils, and chickpeas.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Having a variety of these things in your diet on a regular basis will give you important nutrients that support your body in healing from various period problems and reducing symptoms, and can help you get back up to optimal ranges.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The more you know 🌈✨⁠⁠
