Why PhaseFood

Cooking that supports women.

Eat for your cycle

Craft recipes matched to your cycle phase. Iron-rich meals when you need replenishment, warming comfort food in your luteal phase. Recipes tweaked based on your cycle symptoms.

Perimenopause and menopause support

Your body's needs shift through perimenopause and beyond. Recipes lean toward what the evidence actually supports, protein adequacy, calcium, the Mediterranean pattern, rather than marketed superfoods. Built for the cycling years, the transition, and life after.

Wellbeing tracker

Log your daily energy, mood, sleep, and symptoms. Over time, your patterns feed directly into recipe generation so your meals adapt to how your body actually feels each week.

Hard-excluded ingredients

Seed oils and ultra-processed foods are hard excluded. The evidence on seed oils remains inconclusive so we have chosen to exclude them.

Built for bulk cooking

Every recipe is designed to batch, store, and reheat beautifully. One cook session feeds you all week.

Strictness dial

Slide between relaxed and strict whole foods. You decide how rigid your ingredients are on any given week.

Localised to your shops

Ingredients matched to what's actually on shelves near you. No obscure substitutions or hard-to-find items.

Cook from scratch or from ingredients in your fridge

Add the ingredients you already have and craft recipes around them. Tag each ingredient to specific meals and exclude anything not suited to your current phase.

The evidence behind PhaseFood

There's a lot of nutrition advice around. Some of it is really great, but much of it isn't built on science. While it's important to listen to your body and to recognise that nutrition research is genuinely difficult to conduct, it was also important to me that this site wasn't based on 'vibes and feelings'. So you can read all the research used to build the platform, and judge the validity of the different nutrition research for yourself.

Why we're different

The only dial that actually moves.

No other recipe platform lets you tune how strict your whole foods are, from relaxed to grain-free and beyond. One slider, your rules.

Common questions

You might be wondering...

No. You can use it without ever entering cycle information. Cycle-aware recipes are an option, not a requirement. If you do want them, you can enter your cycle in seconds.

Yes. Every recipe is real whole food made from supermarket ingredients. The cycle and life stage tuning is gentle, not restrictive, and the bulk cooking premise means the whole household eats the same thing all week. No cooking two meals.

Close enough is good enough. You can enter approximate dates, update them later, or skip cycle tracking entirely and just use the dial and meal planner.

Yes. PhaseFood supports cycling, perimenopause, and menopause and beyond. Each life stage gets nutrition guidance grounded in evidence.

You can exclude any ingredients you don't want (capsicum, mushrooms, dairy, gluten, anything) and the recipe generator will work around them.

Everyone gets a one month free trial with full access. Wellbeing tracker, unlimited recipes, shopping list generation, and everything else. After the trial you can subscribe monthly or annually to keep going.
