Boost your metabolism—without the guesswork
Did you know ovulating is the #1 metabolism hack for women?
But here’s the catch:
65% of U.S. women aged 15–49 use birth control—and most don’t realize it stops ovulation.
Ovulation isn’t just about fertility.
Ovulation also:
• Speeds up metabolism
• Regulates immune + thyroid function
• Supports brain + breast tissue health
• Reduces ovarian cancer risk
After ovulation, your body produces progesterone, which raises your temperature and increases calorie burn—even at rest.

Let's decode your PMS cravings too
PMS symptoms affect 3 out of 4 menstruating women.
Common signs include:
- Mood swings, bloating, fatigue
- Anxiety, headaches, acne flare-ups
- Cravings for chocolate, salt, and carbs
Here’s what those cravings might mean:
• Chocolate → magnesium deficiency
• Pasta/soda → blood sugar instability
• Steak → iron deficiency
Try these swaps:
• Chocolate → magnesium + probiotics
• Pasta/soda → protein, fats, complex carbs/ coconut water
• Steak → liquid chlorophyll drops
These alternatives help your body get what it truly needs—and reduce PMS cravings over time.
