Tahnee is joined by Nicole Jardim on the Women's Series today to wax lyrical on all things menstrual. Nicole is a Certified Women's Health Coach and the creator of Fix Your Period, a series of programs that empower women to reclaim their hormone health. Nicole's passion for women's health arose in response to her own hormonal journey and negative experience using hormonal birth control in her early twenties. Nicole takes a holistic approach, placing her focus on identifying and addressing the root cause of dis-ease within the bodies and minds of her female clients. Nicole believes that the fundamentals to healing any hormonal imbalance lie in an approach that addresses the unique physiology of every woman, and that this is essential to reclaiming and maintaining optimal health and vitality at any age. We say amen to that sister! Tahnee and Nicole discuss:

-Nicole's period journey - how the traditional medical model failed to connect the dots between her oral contraceptive use and the myriad of undesirable health complications she experienced as a result.

-The lack of education and female body literacy in our society.

-The fact that menstrual disharmony is generally considered normal.

-The horrific side effects synthetic birth control can cause.

-The menstrual cycle and female empowerment.

-What a normal menstrual cycle looks/feels like.

-The sensitivity of the female organism, how this aids our fertility and serves as a defense mechanism at the physiological level. "We are exquisitely sensitive to stressors and it is a good thing." - Nicole Jardim

-The impact of diet culture and "health" fads on female reproductive health.

-Nutrition - the power of mastering the basics.

-Self observation as simple yet profound tool in health and healing.

-Nicole's take on hormone testing.

She passionately believes that the fundamentals to healing any hormonal imbalance lie in an approach that addresses the unique physiology of every woman. This is essential to reclaiming and maintaining optimal health and vitality at any age.
