This recipe is perfect for the menstrual phase using beets, and flax. During your menstrual phase, you want to focus on warm, comforting cooking methods to warm up your uterus. From the nutrition side, you want to stock up on micronutrients that are the building blocks of blood. Your hormones are at their lowest levels and energy is low, so keep your blood sugar steady with low GI foods.

Beets are a great source of iron - which is essential to focus on when you bleed since your body is losing iron rapidly. It's also rich in beta-carotene and antioxidants, which promote the flow of blood to the uterus and reduces cramping.


Flax acts as an estrogen blocker, which prevents us from building up excess levels. They also are high in omega-3s which are shown to reduce FSH levels, are anti-inflammatory, and contain protein which balances blood sugar.
