Half of the world’s population will experience a period.

A lifetime of periods equates to 8.6 years, 448 weeks, 3139 days and 70 080 hours.

And yet, I wonder just how many women actually understand what’s going on in their bodies. Not just during menstruation, but for the rest of the month too.

Welcome to your Menstrual Cycle Masterclass, where I’ll be diving deep into each phase of the menstrual cycle - what actually goes on inside our body, how to support your body, balance your hormones and support your reproductive system with nutrition, self care, exercise and sleep.

This episode kicks things off with the phase you are probably most familiar with, the menstrual phase.

HERE’S WHAT WE COVER:

  • Understanding what actually happens during your period, and what is considered a “healthy” period.
  • Why your menstrual cycle is ruled by your hormones – and why they can be haywire during your period.
  • Coping with common symptoms and challenges during your period.
  • How to work with your menstrual cycle, not against it.
  • The best exercise to do during your period.
  • How to improve your period with nutrition.
