What foods to eat during each week of your cycle for less annoying periods

In a single month, your body undergoes some pretty major changes. Your hormones fluctuate, you lose blood, and along with all that fun stuff, your dietary needs differ vastly from week to week. That's the basis for the new book from functional nutritionist and holistic health counselor Alisa Vitti, WomanCode, and the period-tracking app MyFlo, which guide women on optimal ways to eat at various times of the month.
