So many of us feel like empaths or highly sensitive people. Could this have started at conception? Chronic cortisol production combined with a highly sensitive nervous system can accelerate yin depletion. This prolonged hormonal stress compromises multiple bodily systems, leading to the widespread imbalances that affect so many women today.

All women are cyclical whether they have a cycle or not.Women operate on both an infradian rhythm and a circadian rhythm, meaning they cycle with the sun and the moon, rather than just the sun as men do. Tuning into your cyclical nature as a woman can be the key to getting in touch with who you really are, behind your illness or symptoms. Women who do not cycle can follow the phases of the moon.

Did you know there is a way to accurately chart your cycle without taking your temperature at the same time every morning, or buying an expensive device to do it for you?

While the advantages of breastfeeding for the health of both mother and child are widely known, in discussions of this topic, more emphasis is often put on the health benefits for the child rather than for the mother.

Have you ever started a fitness plan that drained you until you gave up? This is not due to a lack of willpower.

Menstrual cycle health is so much more than the manifestations that show up in our bodies and our wombs. We often fail to recognize that the discomforts that are appearing physically are part of something deeper within us that is calling out for attention. When the mind is full of fear and self-judgement, the body responds accordingly. When we are hiding from the truth, the body will do its job to alert us to address it.
