Nutritional Periodization

Meaning

Nutritional Periodization is a strategic, systematic approach to altering macronutrient and micronutrient intake over defined time phases to optimize physiological adaptation and support specific health or performance goals. In the context of hormonal health, this involves aligning dietary strategies with natural biological rhythms, such as the menstrual cycle phases or intensive training blocks, to modulate metabolic and endocrine responses. This methodology moves beyond static dieting to a dynamic, responsive nutritional plan that respects the body’s fluctuating needs.
