Picture yourself as a teenager, handed a box of birth control pills to 'fix' your irregular periods. You know nothing of the long-term effects and blindly trust the solution. As a grown woman, you finally realize the importance of truly understanding your menstrual cycle and the need for hormone health. That's the story of Carly Hartwig, a holistic reproductive health practitioner and soon-to-be-certified fertility awareness educator, who joins us for this enlightening conversation. We examine the long-term effects of birth control, the importance of functional medicine, and why it's crucial to consider more than just a basic blood panel for achieving optimal health.

What if there was a way to understand your body better? What if the menstrual cycle was not just a burden, but a gauge of your overall health? We delve into how menstrual health impacts hormones, why it can be seen as a fifth vital sign, and the influence of hormonal birth control on our cycles. Carly guides us through the distinct phases of our menstrual cycle, highlighting the necessity for adapting our routines to our bodies' needs. We also discuss the role of diet and lifestyle choices on hormone health, providing practical advice for healthier living. 

Are you aware of the products you use daily and how they can disrupt your health? It's time to wake up and make a transition, one product at a time. Carly shares how making these changes drastically improved her health, mood, and overall well-being. From reducing synthetic fragrances in our homes to eliminating caffeine and alcohol from our diets, we explore the benefits of safer products. We wrap up our conversation with a focus on parenting, healthcare, and healthy living, emphasizing the importance of advocating for ourselves and educating our children about food and product ingredients. Join us in this insightful conversation, as we share personal experiences and tips on leading healthier lives.
