Summary

What we're talking about in this episode Signs and symptoms that you can use as diagnostic indicators and feedback Lifestyle changes that can make a big difference in getting your period back on track Learn why suffering and struggling during your period is not normal Dive into what birth control is really doing inside of your body at every age The importance of destigmatizing the shame surrounding our menstrual cycle   Episode Summary Kirsten Karchmer is a health tech pioneer, women’s health expert and founder and CEO of Brazen, a company dedicated to the women’s health revolution and eradicating the stigma surrounding your menstrual cycle.  After being confronted with the facts on just how many women are suffering from PMS, endometriosis and other menstrual cycle-related symptoms, Kirsten decided to put her foot down and help other women use their cycle as an instrument of advantage rather than shame. In her new book, Seeing Red, Kirsten works to create a framework to help you start to do your own detective work and improve your symptoms on your own. Instead of masking your symptoms with a prescription pad, Kirsten is here today to provide you with integrative ways to heal your body naturally and get to the root cause of your symptoms to find out the real inefficiencies happening in your system. Through behavioral, diet and lifestyle changes, you can gain the support you need to have access to the life that you want and make exponential changes in your menstrual, pelvic and endometrial pain.  If you are a young woman looking to better understand what is happening inside of your body, a menstruating adult hoping to increase your fertility, or a mom desiring to guide the young women in her life down the right path, Kirsten is here to provide you the necessary road-map for success.
