Pork is rich in iron and B vitamins which are essential during the Menstrual Phase to support energy levels. The protein content also aids in muscle recovery.
Lentils are an excellent plant-based source of protein and fiber. Protein supports tissue repair and hormone production, while fiber helps maintain balanced blood sugar levels. This balance is important during the hormone fluctuating phase of ovulation. They provide key vitamins and minerals—such as folate, iron, and magnesium—that support cell division and energy production, all of which are vital when your body is preparing for a potential pregnancy.
Why Vitamin D is so important. It interacts with hormone receptors. Low vitamin D has been linked to ovarian deficiency even in women without PCOS. Lower Vitamin D levels are more prevalent with women who experience irregular cycles.
