FOLLICULAR PHASE RECIPE
Crunchy fermented bowl
Follicular phase
As your period ends and energy returns, fresh and crunchy starts to sound good again. This bowl pairs fermented foods with greens and whole grains to support the way your body processes rising estrogen.
Why it works for this phase
The follicular phase is a natural time to support gut health and estrogen metabolism. Fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut feed your microbiome, while fiber from kale and farro helps your body clear estrogen efficiently as it climbs.
