In this video, we’re going to take a look at what causes cravings during different phases of your menstrual cycle. Food cravings often signify that you are deficient in a particular vitamin or mineral.

Cravings during ovulation are often caused by high estrogen or other issues with estrogen. Consuming cruciferous vegetables and sea kelp can help balance estrogen if you're dealing with a hormonal imbalance.

Most women experience PMS cravings, or food cravings that occur just before their period. If you have PMS, you might also experience mood issues, irritability, and depression.

If you’re experiencing premenstrual cravings, B vitamins, vitamin C, and vitamin D can help. Nutritional yeast is one of the best natural sources of B vitamins, and you can increase vitamin D by going out into the sun. Look for natural food-based sources of vitamin C—avoid synthetic forms like ascorbic acid. Sauerkraut is an excellent source of vitamin C and is also good for digestion.

Period cravings that occur during menstruation can be remedied by calcium and magnesium. Calcium orotate can greatly reduce period cravings as well as cramps.

Immediately following your menstrual cycle, your cravings signify your need for more iron. Grass-fed red meat is one of the best sources. Kale and spinach also provide a plant source of iron.

If you’ve gone through menopause, you may still experience cravings that could be related to your hormones. The most common deficiency after menopause is a vitamin E deficiency. Raw sunflower seeds, almonds, and leafy greens all provide a good amount of vitamin E. Boron can also help raise estrogen levels naturally.
