Summary

19: I speak with Dr. Lara Briden, Naturopathic Doctor and Biologist who has spent the last 20 years working with women and helping them balance their hormones. Twenty years with patients taught her that diet and lifestyle work incredibly well for many period problems. We talk about birth control, what Doctors don’t tell you about the pill, why cramps may be common but they’re not normal, why women aren’t just destined to suffer and what to do about period pain, how to balance your hormones and so much more!
