We live in a world that’s taught women more about shrinking their bodies than understanding them. From a young age, we’re handed diets, dress sizes, and deadlines for when our bodies are supposed to "bounce back."
But the truth?
Your body is not a trend. It’s your home. And it deserves to be known, and nourished, like the powerful, complex system it is.
Women’s bodies are biologically brilliant. We move through hormonal cycles, shifts, and seasons every single month, affecting our energy, mood, appetite, sleep, and emotional bandwidth. And yet … most of us weren’t taught any of this.
We weren’t told that our metabolism changes across our cycle.
We weren’t taught how to eat differently during perimenopause.We weren’t shown how stress and lack of nourishment affect our hormones, gut health, and brain function.
Here’s what we should be learning:
How your cycle phases affect your cravings, stamina, and emotional load
What foods support hormonal balance, reduce inflammation, and fuel your brain
How sleep, rest, and nervous system care regulate your energy
And most importantly, how to listen to your body’s signals, not override them
Because every woman is different.
What nourishes you might be different from your best friend, your sister, or your favourite influencer online. That’s not failure - that’s bio-individuality.
Understanding your body is not about restriction, it’s about reconnection. It's about choosing food, movement, rest, and rhythm that supports your life, your energy, and your phase.
When we honour our bodies instead of punishing them, we don’t just feel better, we live better. We gain clarity, confidence, and calm.
We stop apologising for our needs and start advocating for them. We become better equipped to show up, for ourselves, our families, our work, and our future.
So, no you don’t need to fix your body. You just need to get to know her.
She’s been trying to talk to you this whole time!
