Faith Over Pharma | Holistic Health, Longevity, Hormones & Fertility

Most of us grew up learning what a period is… but not why it happens.

In this episode, I’m breaking down how to truly understand your menstrual cycle and what your body is communicating in every phase — from your period to ovulation and everything in between.

We’ll also talk about how men’s hormones follow a 24-hour rhythm — while ours ebb and flow over roughly 28 days — and why that means you were never meant to show up the same way every day.

You’ll walk away understanding:

If you’ve ever wondered why your energy, mood, and motivation change week to week, or why you feel different from the men around you — this episode will help you finally understand your rhythm and start honoring it instead of fighting it.
