Summary

Welcome to the much anticipated episode on all things PERIOD! What was your first period experience like? Have you ever secretly slid a tampon to your best friend? Are you wondering what the pill is doing to your body after years of use? Did your period change during the pandemic? Are you having painful or inconsistent periods and not sure what’s up? This episode is for you and people who have periods everywhere! Rachel is joined by health coach and period expert Nicole Jardim who authored the book Fix Your Period. They talk about all things connecting to your cycle, including Rachel’s hilarious first period story, hormone fluctuation, imbalances in your period, contraceptives and their side effects, and answer your period questions from Instagram. Our bodies are miraculous, but for some reason period problems are so prevalent. It all comes down to knowing our bodies, tracking our cycles and paying attention to important things like gut health, cortisol levels, and blood sugar levels. In order to return to a more natural, balanced state, we have to consciously connect with our cycle and support our entire body, emotional as well as physical. This episode will help you to understand all of your period symptoms, teach you how to support your body in a natural way, verify the pandemic period concept, inspire you to connect consciously with your cycle so you can balance your hormones throughout the entire month, and honor and celebrate the gift of your natural cycle.

0:00.0	Welcome, welcome, welcome to a brand new episode of the Yoga Girl podcast conversations from the
0:09.9	heart. I am so excited about today's episode. Today finally is the episode we have all been waiting
0:18.4	for. Welcome to the period episode. I have been wanting to have an episode dedicated to our
0:26.4	periods for a really, really, really long time. For different personal reasons, I've struggled with a
0:31.5	lot of changes in shifts in my own cycle over the past year. I know a lot of you have as well, and in
0:37.5	this episode we actually find out that the pandemic period is a thing. Today on the show, I am joined by
0:44.0	the lovely Nicole Jardim, also known as the period girl. She is a certified health coach and the
0:51.0	author of the book Fix Your Period. I actually didn't even know that period problems were so prevalent
0:58.1	all across the world, and I received so many messages from so many of you asking questions about
1:04.5	your periods, about your cycles, about menstruation for this episode. So today on the show, Nicole and I
1:10.7	talk about everything from the faces of your cycle and why it's really important that you keep

1:21.5	have on our bodies, how to change the shame and the stigma around our periods in this patriarchal
1:27.2	society. We also do a deep dive on the pill and the impact of hormonal birth control on the body.
1:33.7	We also get into all things pandemic periods and why 2020 actually probably has impacted your
1:40.5	period too. On today's show, I share my very, very, very first period story, which might have you
1:48.0	laughing so hard. If you're drinking something, you're going to have liquid coming out of your nose.
1:51.7	This is a crazy story. I almost pee my pants every time I tell this story because it's so ridiculous.
1:58.8	I'm sure you have a fun, hopefully exciting and funny and humorous first period story and that
2:05.1	it's not just sad, which I know it was for so many of us. We can actually rewrite the view that we
2:11.0	have of our periods. Our periods hopefully shouldn't have to be this horrible, terrible, difficult,
2:16.7	painful thing that happens every single month, but something that we can actually anticipate and
