Summary

Feeling exhausted or disconnected from your body—even when you’re “doing everything right?” K+L sit down with DailyBasis founders Izzy Fischer + Sophie Allen, alongside board-certified OBGYN Christy Evans, for an eye-opening conversation about the hidden health struggles impacting millions of women. From eating disorders + chronic stress to hormone imbalances + cycle syncing, they unpack why so many women feel dismissed by the healthcare system—and how understanding your menstrual cycle can completely change the way you approach your health, energy, relationships, and life. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by wellness advice, frustrated by your hormones, or confused about what supplements actually support your body, this episode offers a grounded, empowering approach to women’s health—and will change the way you think about your body for good. We also talk about: PMDD, hormone imbalance, and severe mood swings Why women are chronically exhausted + burnt out The connection between body image, control, and eating disorders How hormones impact hunger, energy, confidence, and anxiety Why women’s health research has historically ignored female biology The truth about cycle syncing + wellness obsession Iron deficiency, heavy periods, and nutrient depletion How understanding your cycle can improve relationships + self-compassion Resources: Instagram: @dailybasislife Website: www.dailybasislife.com Get 50% off your first month with code ALMOST30 at dailybasislife.com, or go directly to dailybasislife.com/ALMOST30.
