Transcript

Everyone is telling you what to eat for your fiber. I'm gonna teach you ladies why you eat your fiber. Full disclaimer. I'm a man, and I've never had a period, but I'll do my best to make this simple and useful. Think of the menstrual cycle as your gut on a hormone roller coaster. The roller coaster is three parts, the slow uphill, the downhill plunge, and the gentle flats. During the slow uphill, progesterone peaks, which slows and dries out your logs. This is why you feel constipated. During the downhill plunge, progesterone takes a nosedive while your colon contracts harder and releases more fluid. This is why you'll get those loose urgent period poops. After that, you'll hit the gentle flaps where your hormones will balance out and your gut will feel normal again. Quick tips for a smoother ride. When you feel constipated on the slow uphill days, get your insoluble fibers such as chia seeds or popcorn to push your logs through. When you're getting period poops on the downhill plunge days, up your soluble fibers such as liquid salad or Olipop to firm up your poops. Should I go deeper, ladies? Let me know in the comments.
