What do you notice in your luteal phase? Where does your bloat show up? What have you tried that didn’t work? I’ll reply to every comment with something helpful. And no - it’s not in your head. It’s not about eating less. It’s not about more cardio. It’s about understanding the sponge your body becomes in the days before your period. In your luteal phase, estrogen can linger, progesterone dips, and your body starts hoarding water like it’s bracing for a storm. Add in depleted minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium = Now you’re soggy, cranky, and wondering why another gallon of water just makes it worse. You don’t need more water. You need better water. You need minerals that help your body absorb and release the right way. → Add electrolytes throughout the day (not just one sodium bomb in the morning) → I use @buoy drops for easy, no-junk mineral support → Potassium-rich foods (like coconut water + avocado) → Magnesium at night = your bloat bestie This isn’t about restriction. It’s about re-regulating the messages your hormones and minerals are trying to send.
