Living in Rhythm: How Your Body Works in Every Phase
Your body isn’t random—it’s rhythmic.

Because when you know your rhythm, you thrive with it.
How to Eat, Rebuild + Not Ruin Your Gut in 3 Days
You cleansed. You glowed. You're feeling light, clear, maybe a little empty—and tempted to dive face-first into a bowl of creamy pasta or oat milk lattes.
Pause.
What you do after a cleanse matters more than the cleanse itself. This is the window where your gut, hormones, and energy are recalibrating. Here's how to re-enter the food world without bloating, crashing, or undoing the magic.
Day 1 – Gentle Reset
You’re not fragile—but you’re not ready for tacos either.
What to Eat:
Brothy soups (bone broth, veggie broth, miso)
Cooked apples or pears with cinnamon
Steamed squash, carrots, zucchini
Congee, oats, or soft rice
Herbal Support – Sip These:
Dandelion tea for liver support
Chamomile tea to calm your system
Avoid:
Caffeine
Dairy
Legumes
Raw veggies
Anything fried or processed
Day 2 – Rebuild Mode
Now you're ready for real food—gently.
What to Eat:
Soft scrambled eggs with greens
Chia pudding with stewed berries
Cooked quinoa, sweet potato, or a little hummus
Coconut yogurt with banana or pear
Herbal Support – Sip These:
Lemon balm + peppermint tea to ease digestion and support calm
Coconut water for hydration + minerals
Avoid:
Red meat
Processed sugar
Cheese
Cold raw salads (save them for later)
Day 3 – Balanced Return
The glow is still on. Let’s keep it.
What to Eat:
Baked salmon, tempeh, or poached chicken
Warm grain bowls with greens + tahini
Gluten-free pasta with pesto and sautéed zucchini
Roasted root veggies with fresh herbs
Herbal Support – Sip These:
Nettle tea to rebuild minerals and support hormones
Ginger tea to keep digestion moving
Now it’s okay to bring back:
Caffeine (but only after food)
Sourdough or gluten (in small amounts)
Dairy (start with sheep/goat if you’re sensitive)
🌙 Sync With Your Moon Cycle:
Follicular Phase? Add citrus, sprouts, and vibrant herbs—your body’s in rise mode.
Ovulation? Hydrate, eat light, lean into glow-up meals.
Luteal? Add grounding carbs and warm, spiced foods to stabilize blood sugar.
Menstrual? Keep it warm and easy—think soups, stews, and iron-rich dishes.
You cleansed. Now rebuild. This isn’t about restriction—it’s about rhythm. Your body doesn’t want to bounce back. It wants to elevate.
