Intermittent fasting can potentially affect menstrual health and cramps, as changes in eating patterns may disrupt hormonal balance and energy availability. Some women may experience irregular periods or exacerbation of menstrual symptoms like cramps due to fasting-induced stress on the body. However, individual responses vary, and some women may feel positive effects as well So it’s essential to monitor any changes and adjust fasting protocols accordingly. As a dietitian, I recommend consulting with a dietitian personally for personalized advice and tailored diet plans.

What supplements are recommended for menopause?
You would generally need calcium and vitamin d supplements once you hit your 40s. As you grow older your calcium absorption decreases and it is very important to maintain certain calcium levels for your bone and muscle strength. Vitamin d is needed for better absorption of calcium as well as for good mood regulation. Apart from that most other supplements get prescribed based on deficiency.
Menopause means stopping of female hormones, especially Estrogen. Because it is necessary for your vagina as well as your overall health, you can take so many natural Medicines instead of taking just supplements. You may face vaginal dryness, mood swings/ emotional ups and downs and osteoporosis. Also hot flushes irritates most. Just supplements are not sufficient if these symptoms are irritating you. Then Take proper consultation with your doctor. Natural medicines are more useful in my opinion.

I’ve heard about this thing called the 3-day rule with men, and I’m curious about what it means. Does it have to do with waiting three days before calling or texting after a date, or is it something else entirely? I’d love to get some insight into how this rule works and if it actually makes a difference in dating.
Hi there, I get where you are coming from. The "3-day rule" in dating is all about waiting three days before reaching out after a date. It's kind of an old-school idea suggesting that taking a bit of time before contacting someone again shows that you're not too eager or desperate. Some people believe it creates a bit of mystery or anticipation, while others see it as unnecessary game-playing. Ultimately, it's about finding what works for you and the person you're interested in. Some might appreciate a quick follow-up, while others might prefer a bit of space. It's all about communication and gauging each situation individually. I am a psychologist so if you have any more questions or ideas you'd like to share please feel free to hop in one of my live sessions and chat with me.

Is it healthy to take out some time everyday away from my husband?? Will it affect our relationship or strengthen it?
it is completely normal and healthy to want some time to yourself even when you're married. needing personal space does not mean that there is something wrong with your marriage. it just shows that you value your independence and like taking care of your well-being. taking time for your self helps you align your personal needs. manage stress, make goals for yourself and accomplish them.

Are there any dietary supplements you recommend to support my menstrual health based on my individual needs?
Hey there! 🌸 Looking to boost your menstrual health? Consider adding these essentials to your routine: Iron for replenishing lost blood, Vitamin B6 to ease those pesky PMS symptoms, Magnesium for calming those cramps, Omega-3 fatty acids to soothe inflammation, and don't forget Calcium for bone health and mood stability. Your body will thank you for the extra support!
hina12d
There is no restriction for your diet during your menstrual cycle. Nor are there any foods that you necessarily should eat, except for foods high in iron. Because of the blood loss, there is also some iron loss w/menstruation. Therefore, foods high in iron content can help replace the iron stores that women need. These foods can include dark chocolate in small amounts, molasses, and then green leafy veggies such as spinach, beef, turkey, etc. You can google for a more comprehensive list. Otherwise, no special diet is required.

How can nutrition play a role in addressing common women’s health concerns such as menstrual irregularities, PMS symptoms, or menopausal transitions?
Regulating menstrual cycles with iron-rich foods. Easing PMS symptoms through magnesium and vitamin B6.Managing menopausal symptoms with phytoestrogen-rich foods like soy.
Na_Dia13d
For menstrual irregularities and PMS symptoms, maintaining stable blood sugar levels by eating balanced meals with complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and lean proteins can help alleviate symptoms. Incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, and vitamin B6 may also be beneficial. During menopause, consuming foods rich in calcium and vitamin D helps maintain bone health. Phytoestrogen-rich foods like soy products can help alleviate hot flashes and other symptoms. Adequate intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains provides essential nutrients and supports overall health during this transitional phase. Additionally, staying hydrated and reducing caffeine and alcohol intake can help manage symptoms.

What things or actions of a women do men miss after a breakup?? What can we do to make them miss us??
Hi dear. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. I understand you miss him and want to be with him. Instead of trying to do things, why don't you talk to him directly about your feelings. If that's something possible or he feels the same, he would respond mutually. And you both can work on the things that didn't work. But beyond that, I wouldn't suggest doing more as it might affect your emotional Health and self esteem.. I can only answer this much because I need more information on what's exactly been happening and happened. Do join my live every morning 8 am or 2 pm. or 7 pm.

I am getting rashes from pads. What can I do to stop them?
docmfrank11d
If you have noticed rashes with one pad brand, it maybe helpful to try another. Another reason could also be using the pad for extended periods of time, which makes you more prone to rashes. Alternatives can include period panties or cloth pads which can help prevent rashes and are also eco-friendly as they are reusable. During your periods opt for loose cotton underwear and change it twice a day to limit sweat and rashes. If this doesn't subside with these simple changes, check in with a doctor to understand a possible underlying cause.
hina12d
Keep the affected area clean and dry, you can also apply a soothing cream or ointment that you can purchase over the counter. Ensure you're changing pads frequently to help prevent sanitary pad rash.

I have been gaining weight recently due to my PCOS. But every time I stand in the mirror, I hate the way that i look. I know I shouldn’t feel that way, but how can i stop myself from not liking myself?
Hello there, I completely understand what you must be going through. But instead of comparing yourself to the beauty standards of the society, compare yourself with you. First assess if you are physically healthy. Then Start taking care of yourself, your grooming, your dressing. You can be beautiful and gorgeous at any weight and with any body type as long as you are confident. Do some affirmations to feel beautiful and confident
Hi beautiful, I hope you are doing well. -Weight gain in PCOS is primarily seen due to insulin resistance, high androgen levels and high insulin levels. -However, I have good news for you 🙂 - You can live a healthy lifestyle even with PCOS, and you can lose weight in a healthier manner as well. - All you need to do is focus on your well-being. - Not everyone on Instagram has a perfect body and there are various applications that are used to morph one's appearance. - Hence, start my bringing in small changes in your lifestyle. - Workout for 20-30mins everyday. Begin with home-workouts. - Eat enough fibre, and protein in the diet. - Add salads to both your meals, and have yogurt/buttermilk twice a day. - Avoid packaged, ultra-processed, and refined foods. - Eat your favourite foods once in a while. - Go for a walk, take up a new hobby, focus on your health and on improving your health. - Don't focus on a perfect body, none of us are perfect ✨ you can book a one-one consultation with me.

#PeriodTalk How do you track your period? Are you able to figure out when you are expecting your period every month without tracking? Share signs you notice that your period is around the corner in the comments below.
docmfrank10d
I track using the Flo app. My favourite part is adding the symptoms I experience on different days to be able to closer analyse how my cycles run each month.
I usually track my period using a calendar

I am a mother and an educator in charter schools and ABC Youth Foundation. I host several podcast it's a huge passion of mine and I also produce I strongly feel that empathy is the glue of humanity and without it what do we have for understanding one another and being kind toward one another is what keeps Us human it's what makes it work and without it what can possibly get better you must hold on to that and remember and show it where it's needed so that people can know what it is and be able to show that same to others connecting and growing with others is within the foundations of empathy that's how the world gets better so we can understand we don't have to directly know one another we must be that change and it starts with us, we must be the change we want to see!more
