Week 4
You’ve made it to the final section of the Eating for Health course.
This week is about weaving together everything you’ve learned so far—understanding not just what to eat, but why you’re eating the way you are.
We’ll explore:
✨ The science of fasting and how it can work with your body instead of against it
✨ Popular diets (vegan, keto, carnivore) and what we can learn from each one
✨ The role of calories, stress, inflammation, and weight loss in long-term health
✨ How to taper your portions to match your body’s natural rhythms
✨ How to “fast like a woman,” syncing your eating and fasting windows with your menstrual cycle
This isn’t about restriction or perfection. It’s about equipping you with the knowledge and the tools to make confident, life-giving choices. At the end of this section, you’ll find a menstrual fasting calendar—a space to map out rhythms that serve your body in this current season.
Think of this as your anchor point. Whenever you feel off-balance, you can return here—back to the rhythms, the science, and the gentle reminders of why you’re choosing to nourish yourself in this way. You’ll always have a guide to come back to, so you don’t have to start over—you just realign.
Let’s step into this final week with curiosity, grace, and the hope of lasting renewal.
Journal Prompt
Think about the last time you felt fully in tune with your body’s needs—maybe it was when you chose rest instead of pushing harder, or when you ate something nourishing that left you energized instead of drained. What helped you notice that alignment?
