Did you know that having regular, natural menstrual cycles is one of the biggest predictors of a longer, healthier life? Research from the Nurses' Health Study shows that women with a longer reproductive lifespan—meaning more years spent ovulating naturally—have a significantly lower risk of heart disease, dementia, osteoporosis, and breast cancer.

And the secret behind it all? Progesterone. This essential hormone is only produced when you ovulate, and it plays a crucial role in protecting your brain, bones, and metabolism. But here’s the problem—millions of women struggle with irregular periods, anovulation, and hormonal imbalances, often without even realizing what’s at stake for their long-term health.

In this episode of It’s Hertime, we’re breaking down:
Why each ovulatory cycle is like a "deposit" into your health savings account
How birth control "fixes" irregular cycles—but at a major cost to your health
Why insulin resistance is a hidden culprit behind ovulation problems (and what to do about it!)
Natural ways to support regular ovulation, banish period problems, and balance hormones—without synthetic hormones or band-aid solutions

🎙 Plus, we’re diving into real-life stories of women who transformed their health by getting to the root cause of their irregular cycles.
