About Lucia Mazzella:
Lucia is a functional health cycle coach + foodie. Lucia believes the world needs more well-fed, well-rested women living their power. She teaches traditional kitchen wisdom to women who want to take their health into their own hands and harness the power of their menstrual cycle to find their ‘kitchen flow’.
Her approach is down to earth and practical; teaching women how to cook using the high energy time in their cycle so they are set up with ready-made food for their low energy times. Let’s take the power back into our hands and into our kitchens.
She lives in rural Tasmania off grid with her partner Marcus and dog buddy where they are building a home, raising animals and swimming in the ocean as often as possible.

About Mariah Berendt:
Mariah is a nutritionist on a mission to help women eat their way to healthier menstrual cycles. Her approach focuses on real food, body literacy, and no BS. She wants women to know that their bodies are not their enemy, and that they have so much more control over their health than they’ve been led to believe. She loves to read, cook (duh), and eat hot dogs at baseball games with her fam. She lives in Philly with her husband and her dog, Cookie.
