The luteal phase—the stretch of time between ovulation and your period—can bring mood changes, bloating, cravings, and fatigue. But small, thoughtful shifts in your diet can help you feel more balanced during this part of your cycle. In particular, certain foods can support your body through its natural hormone fluctuations.
