Hey, friends! Today I’m just popping in to share a post I wrote for the DTFN blog. However, before I do that I want to take a second to point out some new features on the blog! I spent all Monday tagging posts and reorganizing categories so that it’s easier for you guys to find the information you are looking for. First up, I reorganized the recipe index. If you hover over the recipe index you will see a whole bunch of categories pop down at once.
Make sure you scroll down so that you can see all the categories! I basically made it so you can search for recipes ANY way you want! I know with the holidays coming up looking for the right recipe is not something you want to spend all day doing so hopefully this helps!
The second update I made is to update the health tips section. Previously there was just one big page you could go to look for posts, it’s still there if you actually click on Health Tips instead of hover over it.
However, now if you hover over health tips you will get a drop down with all kinds of categories you can quickly explore!
Again make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom so you can see all the categories available!
I’ve written a TON about all kinds of nutrition topics over the years but I feel like those posts just get lost in the new posts never to be seen again. Hopefully, now this helps those of you that are looking for information on these topics to quickly access it! Let me know if there is ANY category you want me to add and I’m happy to do it!
Okay, now on to today’s topic! Since so many of the DTFN clients are monitoring their weight weekly, one of the number one questions clients ask is about their cycle and weight gain. Since I’ve been working one of the DTFN owners, Tina, on balancing out her hormones she asked me to write a post about it for the blog!
Check out what hormones have to do with weight gain during your cycle!

Her experience was different t n mine, but similar in some ways as well. Either way, it was definitely a comforting read.
This is really good! Although I would say I’m in week 2 and there’s no way I could do heavy lifting. I really think it depends on what other health conditions you’re dealing with along with your cycle. Tons of research is showing hypothyroidism and reproductive hormones affect each other. I have a post coming about this tomorrow.
I love this visual. And great job with all the back end work on your blog, I have to spend time doing that at some point!
This hormones visual is awesome!! I never really think about this info but you’ve inspired me..
Great job on all the blog work. I had never really thought about hormones in that way, very interesting!
This is a very interesting post. I have only recently become interested (I Know, late to the game) in how food and my body’s cycles interact so this was a relevant and timely read for me!
