for the anon with heavy periods, here are some changes you can make to manage it
increase your intake of these nutrients:
iron: obviously necessary to replenish blood loss, but if you’re anemic before your period, your flow will be heavier as well. sources: red meats, chicken, oysters, beans, dark leafy greens, tofu, pumpkin seeds, an iron fish.
vitamin C: for absorption of iron and to strengthen capillaries, reducing bleeding. sources: rosehips (you can buy a bag of organic dried rosehips to put in tea, it’s florally and kinda fruity,) yellow bell peppers, cantaloupe, citrus, strawberries, and dark leafy greens
vitamin K: when it comes to blood clotting, vitamin k is essential. supplementing it has been shown to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding in women who otherwise have no known blood clotting disorders sources: spinach, kale, collard/mustard greens, broccoli
omega 3s: anti-inflammatory and helps produce prostaglandins that regulate the menstrual cycle and flow. sources: mackerel, salmon, sardines, oysters, brussel sprouts, tofu, navy beans, and fish oil supplements
vitamin B6: b6 helps regulate production of serotonin and dopamine and regulates production of PgE1, a prostaglandin that’s been proven to affect menstrual cycle regularity and flow. sources: avocado, spinach, banana, sunflower seeds. this is one i recommend supplementing (along with b12) if your general health is poor.
other stuff:
blood clotting medications: tranexamic acid is the most common one, also called Lysteda, and it isn’t as scary as it sounds. it’s a blood clotting medication for adults only, used after childbirth frequently, and they even give it to people with chronic nosebleeds. there’s also Desmopressin nasal spray which has a different mechanism but the same effect. talk with your dr about side effects, but please do your own research! physicians unfortunately rarely have our best interest at heart and will often fail to inform you of side effects or drug interactions.
ginger: an anti-inflammatory, can ease pain. inhibits the enzymes prostaglandin synthetase and cyclooxygenase, both of which can create a prostaglandin imbalance that causes heavy menstrual bleeding and irregularity
raspberry leaf tea: contains fragarine, an alkaloid thought to help pelvic floor muscle cramps, reduce pain, and shorten period length. don’t drink more than 2 servings if you’re extremely sensitive to estrogen. some women swear this is their holy grail for PMS
cruciferous veggies like broccoli and brussel sprouts help your body eliminate extra estrogen which can reduce bleeding and shorten period length.
i’ll include more about all of the above stuff and other helpful nutrients for PMS like potassium, magnesium, etc in my next post about diet based on your cycle, this was just a quick post for supplements specifically to reduce a heavy flow.
lastly, stay hydrated and rest as much as possible during your period, easier said than done
menorrhagia is defined as abnormal blood loss during menstruation. this means heavy flow lasting for over a week and/or totaling greater than 80 ml (~1/4 cup) per month. if your symptoms are having an impact on your quality of life, consider seeing your gyno to find an underlying cause.
(disclaimer: i’m a dropout whose only medical training is as a lab tech and phlebotomist. i am in no way a health professional. none of this should be taken as expert medical advice)

Intermediate Kitchen Witchcraft: Nutrition
The ideas of nutrition and healthy eating have been corrupted by the diet industry. Auntie says fuck that. Think of nutrition as a matter of nutrients. Don’t take, don’t deprive. Add to your body! 
For intermediate witchcraft, think of things as macronutrients (big) and micronutrients (small). A macronutrient is what your body uses the most of, while a micronutrient is what your body uses a smaller amount of. 
Macronutrients are: protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Your body needs all three of them - yes, even fat and carbs. Fuck what the diet industry told you and listen to Auntie: it is not only ok to eat fat and carbs, it is actively a good thing. 
Micronutrients are: vitamins and minerals. Your body is a gloriously complex, divine structure that requires a steady supply of the Earth’s bounty to thrive. You can use these amazing things She has given us to improve your body and your mind. Use what She gives you!
Let’s take a look at some common magical ingredients and the micronutrients they give you! This will help provide you with a greater understanding of how to use them to craft your kitchen spells. Magical properties are purple, practical are pink.
Cinnamon: Healing, protection, warmth, love, prosperity. Vitamins A, B, C, K; calcium; magnesium; potassium; phosphorus. Useful in lowering blood pressure, high in antioxidants, can improve insulin sensitivity, protects against heart disease, powerful anti-inflammatory. Connect the practical value to the magical value. What do you think corresponds? The one that jumps out to me is love corresponding to heart health.
Lemons: Purification, cleansing, joy. Extremely high in Vitamin C; fiber; B6; potassium. Lowers your risk of kidney stones, antiseptic properties, big immune booster. Once again, compare the practical and magical uses. I see vitamin B6 connecting to joy - B vitamins are known to improve stress responses.
Arugula: Attraction, abundance, sex magic, psychic powers. Potassium, calcium, folate; vitamins B, C, D, K, and A. Calcium & vitamin D work together for bone health; eye health; high in antioxidants; improves iron absorption; contains many elements shown to reduce cancer risks. I see a connection in iron absorption and sex magic.
Now, while these are a very direct nutrient-to-association correlation, we do also need to remember that there are other factors. Taste is a huge factor in kitchen magic! Cinnamon associates to a warm disposition; cinnamon is a hot food. Lemons are a sunny food. Arugula is easy to grow, therefore it is abundant.
Homework:
Comment below with your connections on the ingredients listed above. OR
Choose your favorite magical ingredient and reblog it with an analysis of how its magical properties correlate to its practical properties. Feel free to delve into some of the other connections too!

Dandelion Lotion Recipe
Here I am again, singing the praises of dandelions. As we already know by now, dandelions are high in Vitamin A, C, and B6, all of which provide excellent benefits for your skin!
The flowers contain high levels of beta carotene and lutein. Dandelion is high in magnesium, calcium, and potassium as well. All of these constituents provide support to the skin by helping with moisture retention and supporting skin function. 
Tumblr media
Ingredients:
5.6 ounces of distilled water
0.24 ounces of stearic acid
0.4 ounces emulsifying wax
1.76 ounces dandelion infused oil (here’s my post on making infused oils)
0.4 ounces preservative (Leucidal)
Optional: essential oil of choice (I always love using cinnamon)
Instructions:
Get a double boiler set up that will hold two small containers, like 8 ounce jelly jars. I use a wide pan, place a washcloth at the bottom, and fill with about an inch to two inches of water. This pan should hold two of the jars.
Measure out your water using a digital kitchen scale into one of the small jars
Measure out your oil, stearic acid, and emulsifying wax using the kitchen scale and place these into a separate small jar. 
Cover the water jar with a lid to prevent water from escaping through evaporation.
Place both jars into the pan, and heat gently on low until the oil mixture is completely melted together
Remove the jars from the pan, and allow to cool to about 110 degrees
Pour your water into the oil mixture, and add your preservative and essential oils (if using)
Stir these together quickly with a fork. As it cools, you’ll see the mixture emulsify, or come together and start turning into a cream
Pour your cream or lotion into small jars
If your lotion tries to separate, just mix it up good again. As it cools to room temperature, it should stop doing this.

How i reduce the harm on my body with my ed
I’ve studied biology and psychology and i know a lot of the things that the body and brain needs, and what keeps your organs healthy while you fast. 
I know i can’t stop you from fasting, and i won’t try to because I know its difficult as hell, but you need to make sure your body is gonna be able to survive. 
Drink enough water!! Have at least 3 bottles of water a day, it boosts your metabolism but not eating makes you more dehydrated so you need to keep drinking!
Get your vitamins and minerals in you : 
- Your body needs these things to function and will break down without them. This also helps me with hiding my disorder. I take supplements, dissolving a tablet filled with most of the things i need into one of my bottles of water in the morning. Mine has : potassium, chloride, magnesium, zinc, manganese, copper, vitamin C, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamins B6, B1, B2, E, A, B12, folic acid and biotin. 
- The other main thing you need is calcium. The heart cannot function properly without enough calcium, so without enough you will probably faint. Skimmed milk is how i get this in me, it only has about 35 calories per 100ml and has a lot of calcium and has some other things in it to keep your body healthy.
- Get out in the sun! This stimulates vitamin D production and the fresh air and sun will help you feel more awake so you don’t need as much caffeine which can be harmful in large quantities.
- There are some iron supplements you can take too! Iron is important for helping with fatigue and you can easily buy some iron water, that you can pour into orange juice or another drink to keep your levels high enough. They taste a bit icky but its so worth it.
- Electrolytes. I cannot stress this enough. My favourite way to get my electrolytes is by drinking smart water. 0 calories and you can’t taste them but your body will be grateful.
Getting your vitamins and minerals will also help with any cravings, reducing them so you can get through your fast. 
Drink tea! Keeps you warm since your body doesn’t have the calories to maintain the temperature fully, plus you can get lots of flavours and it has a little bit of caffeine, enough to keep you stimulated but not too much that could be harmful.
If you feel sleepy, don’t drink caffeine. I know its tempting but you can develop an addiction and that will hurt your body even more. Try drinking some water, or upping your iron levels. Or even take a nap. Sleep burns calories without you doing anything and it will stop the hunger pains for the time you are asleep. Sleep is so important as your body needs as much rest as it can get, to heal without the proper diet it is used too, and for boosting your metabolism.

Supplements that seem to be helping me a lot lately:
Omega 3-6-9 and Vitamin D3 + K2 in the morning. These have helped me with general fatigue and given me a normal functioning amount of energy. It’s also been a godsend during these colder months.
Zinc + magnesium aspartate + vit B6 at night. This one has been a lifesaver for me- I get such restful sleep, my body recovers faster after a workout and it’s also helped me with my hairfall.

Life Hack: Red Lentils Improve Your Physical & Financial Health
If you do not regularly eat red lentils and you are not allergic to them or otherwise unable to eat them, and you want to experience an immediate improvement in your quality of life, health, and financial situation, you need to know about red lentils.
Tumblr media
You can buy these dried for like $2.20 for a pound, or cheaper.
But here's the kicker. They are so easy to cook, even easier than regular green or brown lentils. They are a great lazy food, so easy that they are almost like an instant meal.
Unlike most dried beans, you don't need to soak them. Like, you need to rinse them, but that's it. Like put some in a bowl, cover with water and mix them until they all sink to the bottom, then pour off as much of the water as you can without spilling them. That's it. You rinsed them. They are now ready to cook.
Now you cook them by boiling them in a pot. They cook in 10 minutes. Unlike green lentils which take more like 40 minutes if not soaked. Only 10 minutes and they're soft. If you want them firmer you can cook them shorter, like 8 minutes.
They are so forgiving. I don't even measure the water, like if you put more water in, they come out thinner and soupier. Less water, they come out thicker like a stew. You can cook them less than 10 minutes or more and they will still taste great.
Tumblr media
They are incredibly nutritious. If I'm having them as the main thing for dinner, I eat about 1/2 cup dried which turns into maybe about a cup cooked, depending on how much water I added. This much has:
23 grams of protein
36% of your fiber
41% of your B1
23% B6
49% of your Folate / B9
139% Copper
39% Iron
13% Magnesium
14% Potassium
31% Zinc
240mg Omega 3 fat (ALA) or about 15-22%
Pretty much no unhealthy things for most people.
These nutrients are a big deal. A lot of people are deficient in folate, iron, magnesium, zinc, and some in copper, so these are hitting a bunch of common nutritional deficiencies. And they're so high in iron and Folate, B1, and Zinc that if you eat these you're unlikely to end up with a deficiency in any of these nutrients.
And just to let this sink in, this is more protein than 3oz of chicken. And that $2.20 container? It contains 5 servings like the one above. The protein cost about 2 cents per gram which is incredibly cheap as protein sources go. The protein quality (in terms of balance of amino acids) is better than some beans too, i.e. it is relatively more complete than a number of types of beans.
I also love how I feel after eating these. Like sometimes eating too many beans gives me gas. But not these, when I buy dried red lentils and cook them like described above, I feel light and energetic and have no problem with gas.
There is strong evidence that eating lentils is protective against heart disease and cancer so they can help you live longer too.
You can also add so many things to them. The basic thing is to add just the right amount of salt, but when I'm cooking them, I like to add olive oil, spices, herbs, and also dice up some carrots and other vegetables, even something like broccoli. Because they cook fast, you want to dice stuff up into small cubes if you throw it in, so the other ingredients will also cook fast.
I wish I had discovered this food earlier in life. I have been eating lentils for years but for some reason never tried the red ones and never realized they are so much easier to cook. Yeah, other ones are great too but they cook much slower and thus require much more time/effort.

Stuffed Butternut Squash with Sausage, Spinach, Pecans, and Cranberries.
[𝐆𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐄𝐍-𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄, 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐘-𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄]
Main ingredients
Butternut squash is rich in dietary fiber and is an excellent addition to your menu. This winter squash is a great source of vitamins A, B6, C, and E, as well as several minerals, including magnesium, manganese, and potassium.
Sausage. I used spicy crumbled Italian sausage.
Onion. The onion is lightly caramelized in the beginning and then combined with the sausage. You can use any variety of onions: sweet onions, yellow onions, or white onions.
Spinach. It’s high in fiber and a good source of many vitamins and minerals. I used fresh spinach which I added to the skillet with the cooked sausage. You can also use frozen spinach (thawed completely and drained of any liquid). Another option is kale.
Nuts. Pecans add crunch and texture to this stuffed winter squash. Or, use walnuts.
Dried cranberries. They add sweetness to the sausage mixture.
Italian seasoning combines dried herbs, such as thyme, sage, and oregano. Or, use Herbs de Provence.
+
The Directions
This is a quick overview of recipe instructions along with helpful step-by-step photos. For a complete and detailed recipe, scroll down to the recipe card.
1) Roast the squash. You will need 2 medium or large-size butternut squash. Carefully slice each one in half, and scoop out the seeds. You will have 4 butternut squash halves. Roast in the preheated oven at 400 F for 30 or 40 minutes.
2) Make the filling. While the squash is being roasted, prepare the sausage filling. First, cook together onions and sausage. Then, add Italian seasoning and minced garlic. Finally, add spinach, cooking it until it wilts. Then, mix in dried cranberries and pecans.
+
3) Prepare the roasted butternut squash halves for stuffing. Using a spoon, scoop out the flesh leaving about a 1-inch border along the sides.
4) Stuff the squash. Reheat the sausage filling on the stovetop if needed and then add it into the cavities of each of the 4 butternut squash halves. The dinner is ready!
Cooking tips
Use cooking time efficiently by preparing the sausage stuffing while you roast the butternut squash in the oven.
Salt. I did not add any salt to the sausage mixture, because the sausage I used was salty enough. I did season the squash generously with salt and pepper when I roasted it.
Reheat the sausage mixture. Before you stuff the butternut squash with the sausage mixture, reheat the sausage filling in the same skillet on the stovetop right before adding it to the freshly roasted squash halves to keep everything hot before serving.

There are several other vitamins and minerals that play important roles in brain function, mood regulation, and memory. Here are some key nutrients that are essential for brain health:
1. B Vitamins: B vitamins, including B6, B9 (folate), and B12, are crucial for brain function and the production of neurotransmitters. They help support cognitive function, mood regulation, and memory. Foods rich in B vitamins include whole grains, leafy green vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, eggs, and dairy products.
2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids, specifically docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), are important for brain health and cognitive function. They are essential for building and maintaining brain cell membranes and are thought to help support neurotransmitter function. Sources of omega-3 fatty acids include fatty fish (such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines), flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts.
3. Magnesium: Magnesium is involved in hundreds of biochemical reactions in the body, including those related to brain function. It plays a role in neurotransmitter regulation, mood stabilization, and memory. Magnesium-rich foods include leafy green vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and legumes.
4. Zinc: Zinc is an important mineral for brain health and neurotransmitter function. It is involved in the regulation of mood, memory, and cognitive function. Good sources of zinc include meat, shellfish, nuts, seeds, and legumes.
5. Vitamin D: Vitamin D is essential for overall brain health and cognitive function. It plays a role in neurotransmitter production and mood regulation. Vitamin D can be obtained through exposure to sunlight and through foods such as fatty fish, eggs, and fortified dairy products.
Incorporating a balanced diet rich in these nutrients, along with regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and stress management, can help support overall brain health and cognitive function.
