WEEKLY VLOG 🥑 What I eat + workouts in my luteal phase (for the best period)

[@momogeyer]

Love that you are talking about this - in ancient cultures and even modern-day sub-cultures they say that women are more sensitive and emotions are heightened which can be really insightful for seeing what is going on within the subconscious. I think it's important to pay attention to what comes up during different points of the cycle but also remember why feelings might be amplified during that time to keep us grounded. Love what you do as always

[@BLACKCONVERSE97]

You and Georgia are my favourites to watch! ❤ Such a duo

[@annaa_louiise]

Please make another video like this next month and follow up with you symptoms! I’m really struggling with pms atm, this video was really helpful and gave me hope! xx

[@SophieJayne]

Yesss I definitely!!

[@tahlia4189]

[@mistyross1135]

The Elephant looks like an Elly/Ellie to me! ❤🐘

[@jamieashton7285]

Missed the weekly vlogs 😊

[@bernadettemclean5238]

This video is so helpful had a tough period this month so any tips are great ❤

[@ameerahaltaf]

Hi, you should definitely do this for the whole cycle cause im very lost and I don’t have any inspiration on what to eat or what to workout

[@marinamber]

Sophie you're always so authentic, showing the ups and downs of life, I love it!! ❤You are such an inspiration for me (also in giving me the courage to start my own channel!!)🥰. I'm sending you all my love❣

[@alliemace8163]

I don’t know that I’ve ever heard of cycle syncing before watching this video… last week leading up to my period, I had caffeine just about every day, which is abnormal for me. The first day of my period, I woke up in the middle of the night with major cramps and breast sensitivity (which I rarely get). So maybe there is something to this!! Definitely interesting and something to look into more!

[@doyourememberanna]

This was such a fun video to watch (: you and Sam are so cute together also

[@mollypro22]

I think this cycle syncing is interesting but until it's backed by science I think it's great to keep listening to your body and not ignoring cues like pushing through fatigue at the gym. Ever since I started listening more my overall performance has increased because I'm getting the rest I need.

[@janased2435]

absolutely agreed. Also good to read up on literature or listen to podcasts with experts (rather than a google search) - there's an amazing book called Period Power by Maisie Hill.

[@smiley.rileym]

second this!

[@alvahoffmann909]

I feel that thing that songs suddenly get bad sooo much I always think about that!

[@marybelaponte3068]

If you don’t mind cottage cheese, the brand GOOD Cult organic whole milk cottage cheese blended with protein powder and or fruit makes great ice cream like vibes.

[@KateBuckland]

Love your weekly vlogs Soph ✨ my favourite to watch and my favourite to film too 💖

[@gabyintothewild]

OMG The elephant ❤ Super interesting video Sophie, I always love your authenticity!

[@ChanChan-ps8bz]

cannot relate to you more - getting that cute Elephant!!

[@natalieneely4134]

I feel you when I’m on my period I’m like don’t talk to me 😂 my mood also changes a lot before and after my period!

[@MarleyHaroway]

I love this vlog!

[@SophieJayne]

I'm so glad to hear 🤗

[@narelleking9040]

OMG that elephant is sooo cute. I wouldn't have left without it either hahaha

[@janemuthoni5868]

i clicked so fast,,happy to be here:)

[@marieparker2290]

Hey Soph maybe a tmi question so don’t answer if you aren’t comfortable! I’m wondering how you avoid pregnancy if your cycle length varies ~5 days? My cycle is 28-29 days and I track my cycle being careful around my ovulation to avoid pregnancy, however your variation is quite high how do you know?? I’m sure you’ve said you aren’t on hormonal birth control but I could be totally wrong! I’m just wondering how you know not to get pregnant lol

[@RanndiMarie01]

The books called “The Red Code” and “The Fifths Vital Sign” are both really good books about your cycle and go into depth about how each cycle effects you. I highly recommend them!

[@vondy6563]

Healthy eating can make a huge difference in period cramps (inflammation)

[@CaraK-ez7gn]

Thank you for normalising these conversations, as an ex contraceptive pill user for 10 years, it's ridiculous to have to navigate periods and hormones as a 30 year old. Some say pumpkin seeds are also good, can't hurt.

[@amaiabilbao1578]

Loved this video 👏🏼💜

[@leabarberio6462]

love the vlog, but I love all your vlogs

[@chloemtaylor96]

Frozen cooked sweet potatoes in smoothie bowls are no joke

[@chloemtaylor96]

Also, since we are talking about them. The elephant could be called Sweet P

[@SpiritHeartsSong]

omg ily

[@wakeupwith_morgan]

LOVE Vimergy supplements!!

[@laylasenoe9304]

Please update us next month if you do the same thing!!!

[@SophieJayne]

I absolutely will!!

[@ashlyntiara]

Love the cycle syncing ❤️

[@empoweredbyeleni]

I love that you're talking about this! I have been cycle syncing for the last couple of years and feel so amazing during my cycle now. I am happy more and more women are inspired to honor their cycles. Womanhood ♥‿♥ also, drinking coffee is also hard for me to give up during my cycle.

[@freshwatergirls8151]

such a great vlog! but your elephant omg so cute should name her miss Elle bc elle the elephant, cant go wrong!

[@bernadettemclean5238]

Love matcha where do u get yours from

[@hollynguyen8630]

you should call her Ellie!

[@rebeccatannous]

I've read a few books on this topic and learnt so much about hormones and periods from three books in particular - Period Repair Manual, Woman Code by Alisa Vitti and In the Flo by Alissa Vitti. Woman Code more so focuses on healing your hormones and In The Flo is all about cycle syncing - so read Woman Code first. The author is actually the woman who came up with the concept of cycle syncing! I'd definitely recommend all women read these books

[@loudelsalat]

Ahh Soph I loved this!! As someone who recently got diagnosed with PMDD I’m really happy to see other menstruating people cycle syncing! Feels like I’m less alone with the diagnosis 🥹🤞🏻

[@raising-empoweredkids]

Love this vid, cannot recommend cycle syncing more - one way I’ve read about it, is each phase of your cycle almost like a season, eg menstruation = winter (cos you feel more internal & slow), follicular = spring (a slight build in energy) etc. Super powerful to be connected to your bod in that way 🔥

[@shaunaleessnackidies]

Totally get what you mean on all of this lol 😂❤

[@AshleyJade18]

I personally haven't had a 'real' period or period cycle in 14 years because i have been on the pill for that long BUT i still get cramps and moderate/heavy bleeding on my withdrawal bleeding days (lucky me 😂) and i swear on two things - I take Magnesium supplements every day and i believe that they take away 99% of my cramps BUT before i discovered Magnesium, drinking a couple of cups of Coconut Water a day at the start of my 'period' was AMAZING at keeping cramps away. 👌 💖

[@helena003]

Can I recommend spin the dawn and unravel the dusk for you to read?

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

Okay, I see you hoping on a trend

[@oliviameanwelltrafford3423]

Nelly ❤

[@danalivingabroad]

Nelly or Ellie!!

[@tarazaw]

should name your new baby elephant Momo!

[@SophieJayne]

Omg that is so cute

[@elyseirwin2587]

We called my grandpa mono since his name was moe

[@Nadias.Journey]

Haven't watched the whole video yet but I'm in my luteal phase as well at the moment and it's so hard with all the comparing and bad body image😩💗

[@marzbarcutie22]

Omg that was legit me with swallowing tablets! Could never do it in over 20 years of my life and then all of a sudden I could?? Don't get me wrong though, it takes a lot of concentration hahah

[@charu4408]

Ellie the elephant 🐘

[@sabrinaboccuzzi3501]

Always love your videos! ❤Always fun when people are more open about their period experiences. Also you should name it Tika after the elephant from Barbie Island Princess

[@jessamieparker4592]

❤

[@fraugray]

Love the food inspiration, thanks 🤩

[@sunnygirl5467]

🫶🏼✨😌Love the elephant, would‘ve gotten it too🥹😂

[@fivedownunder]

Nelly the elephant ❤

[@erikaf5313]

Hi Soph, synching your period to your workouts isn't actually backed my science or research - the current research on this topic doesn't have enough evidence to support it. I'd recommend Natacha oceane's video, because she explains it better. Also pls don't call it "research" when it's just googling/searching the internet, it's quite misleading

[@Nikki-oh9uq]

Soph literally says at the start of the video that she’s not an expert and to take this with a grain of salt!

[@laurayksk3]

She literally says to take it with a grain of salt. Just because there’s not enough research done on it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try it because it can really help. The exercise you do and the food you eat has a huge impact on hormones.

[@coralallon8217]

It’s her research ….. !! Take it with a pinch of salt 🙄

[@margaritabambach6414]

That was annoying

[@Zey616]

I swear you need to relax lol! I’ve personally ate and exercised in a certain way during and after my period and I can say it makes a huge difference with energy, performance, skin and mood. Do what works for you And she said take my info as a grain of salt. Nothing too deep

[@taehalee0712]

Can we name her 'Polly' pleaaaaase

[@laurawatson9793]

Love this video! So important to talk about period health. Also interesting to research the season that your in.. period = winter ❄️ lots of warming foods to help your womb release your lining. Lots of warm teas, orange foods (carrots, turmeric, sweet potato, pumpkin) and heat packs on your womb. They say day 1-3 we should basically be on bed rest to allow the body to do it’s thing. And if you feel like something else, research Yoni Steam NZ - changed my life! Also period undies or liners so we’re not shoving anything up there (can be hard when training tho 😢) also drinking hot cacao is great for menstruation. Loved learning about the walnuts, exercise and breakfast ideas 🎉 Thanks for sharing, love your blogs they make my week ❤ xxx

[@karinaskye9359]

I thought you went brunette? ❤
