We’ve all been there once or twice. We wake up thinking we’re going to get our period. But it doesn’t come. 

We wake up the next day. Still no period. 

Then we start to panic. 

We do some backwards maths and work out if we might be pregnant. We start frantically Googling and cursing our bodies for messing with our heads. 

In this episode, I’m going to save you from that long fall down the Google rabbit-hole and share with you the top reasons why your period might be late. And none of them mean you’re pregnant. 

Here’s What We’re Talking About:

• How your body keeps your sex hormones balanced and functioning.
• Why stress throws your hormones off-balance.
• Why your weight and body fat impacts your menstrual cycle.
• PCOS and irregular cycles.
• Menopause.
