In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what clicked for me: the practical habits, exercise tweaks, and three key nutrients that helped me build healthy progesterone naturally.
Hi friends, and welcome back to Daily Deposits. I’m your host, Edie—a nutrition consultant, boy mom, Enneagram 2, and your friend in taking a practical approach to wellness.
CUE THE CONFETTI (!): my cycle has returned. This is actually the second time in two months that my period has come back postpartum, and I want to talk about what finally shifted, both in my body and my approach to health. (:
It took less than three months from when I implemented the changes I’m sharing in this episode for my cycle to return. That’s when my body finally got the message: You can ovulate again.
In today’s episode, I walk you through:
Why your period doesn’t suddenly “turn back on.” Your body has to feel safe, and most importantly, your hormones need a strong cellular foundation to function.
The underrated hero of hormone health: progesterone. Why focusing on progesterone, not “detoxing estrogen,” is key to ovulation, steady energy, and better sleep.
The 3 P’s for progesterone. How protein, potassium, and polyphenols are crucial building blocks to support a healthy cycle.
How I used a food scale (in an empowering way). Spoiler alert: I started eating way more carbs so my body knew it was safe to cycle again.
Finding your personal baseline. I explain what *most* women need to restore hormonal function and how to figure out what works for your body.
This episode is part personal story, part practical guide. It’s packed with actionable steps and science-backed strategies for anyone trying to get their cycle back. Whether you’re postpartum, struggle with PCOS, or have endured months/years of irregular periods.
🎧 Listen now to get the full game plan and actionable steps to support your cycle naturally.
