Synopsis

Learn how to support the body's nutritional needs at each stage of the menstrual cycle with savory and sweet recipes customized for every woman’s needs.

The Moon Cycle Bakery creates sweet treats that replenish certain micronutrients women lose during the different stages of their menstrual cycle. In The Moon Cycle Cookbook, bakery founder Devon Loftus and nutritionist Jenna Radomski empower women to nourish themselves with recipes for sweets, savory meals, and snacks, organized around each of the four phases of the menstrual cycle, that can be customized to suit their bodies’ fluctuating needs.

Every recipe is formulated with the knowledge of what is happening hormonally in a woman’s body during each cycle phase, using ingredients that replenish and support essential nutrients.

Suffering from cramps? Try adding more cacao to your diet. Mood swings? A sweet potato brownie can help with that. Feeling aches and pains? Have some salmon to reduce inflammation.

A happy mix of creativity, self-empowerment, and downright deliciousness, this wellness guide demystifies menstrual health, educating readers about their unique needs and helping them to deepen their self-care regimen. Sidebars feature suggested self-care practices and rituals to enhance a woman's connection to her body and understanding of how to nurture a healthy cycle.
