Welcome to the Commune Podcast. My name is Jeff Krasno. I am excited to feature another episode in our new series here on the Commune podcast called Ask Dr. G.

We are consistently in receipt of so many interesting questions from our community regarding health. And I simply cannot imagine anyone

better to answer these various inquiries than my friend, Dr. Sarah Godfrey. So Sarah has been kind enough to lend her

considerable experience and knowledge here on the show to addressing these questions.

Sarah is a Harvard-educated board-certified gynaecologist, physician, and scientist. She received the moniker of Dr. G. from the Philadelphia

76ers, for whom she serves as health coach. She has led commune courses on the topics of

perimenopause and menopause. And happily we seem successful in luring her up to Commune-Tupanga on a regular

basis where she is leading retreats. So you can be part of this conversation and submit your

questions at Onecom slash ask Dr. G, that's A-S-K-D-R-G. And to learn even more from Dr. G. That's ASK-D-R-G.

And to learn even more from Dr. G, you can watch her free Commune Masterclass,

Women, Food, and Hormones at Onecommon.com slash menopause.

So in this episode, Dr. GNI demystify the menstrual cycle.

This cycle like so many cycles in nature is simply fascinating once you begin to unpack it. So we discuss what is

happening hormonally and physically across the different stages of the cycle and the incredible

communication that is happening between the brain and the ovaries. And as a bonus aside, listen up if you want to know what hormonal birth control does to the clitoris.

Okay, without further delay, I present to you Dr. Sarah Gottfried. Sarah Godfrey.
