Meghan and Dr. Alex of Zesty Ginger (IG: @zesty_ginger) created The 4 Phase Cycle approach to help modern women balance hormones and feel their best. They use functional lab work to look for the root cause of common women's conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS, infertility, PMS, acne, fatigue, weight gain and anxiety.  They believe that a healthy mindset and plenty of fun is crucial for getting back to being your awesome self!

In this episode, we discuss:

• What a four phase cycle is, and why your period isn’t the only signal your body is sending each month.

• How to support both the body and mind at each phase within your cycle to optimize total health.

• The difference between functional and conventional testing. Different tests that may be worth considering at different parts of our health journey.

• Why you may have normal labs but still feel out of balance.

• Seed cycling: What is it, and is it worth trying?

• And what is and isn’t “normal” when it comes to symptoms throughout our cycle.
