0:00.0 | Welcome to the Phoenix Helix podcast dedicated to maximizing autoimmune health through the paleo diet and lifestyle. |
0:07.3 | While there is no cure for autoimmune disease, the choices we make every day can have a powerful impact on how we feel. |
0:14.4 | I'm Eileen Laird, your host from PhoenixHelix.com, and I reduced my rheumatoid arthritis pain by 95% which took me from a life of excruciating |
0:24.7 | pain and disability back to a full and beautiful life. A short disclaimer, I'm neither a doctor |
0:30.8 | nor a nutritionist and the opinions expressed here are personal. Always consult with your |

1:35.5 | dramatic mood swings. And many of you have had similar experiences, and we found that this can |
1:41.6 | happen in spite of excellent self-care. So I thought it was time to dedicate a podcast to this topic. |
1:47.3 | And today we're going to talk about why this happens and hopefully how we can fix it. |
1:52.2 | My guest is Dr. Lara Bryden, a naturopathic doctor who specializes in women's health. |
1:57.4 | She's written a book called The Period Repair Manual. |
2:00.7 | In it, she shares advice for every |
