ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Welcome back to the Women's Wellness Authority Body Literacy Series.
Did you know your menstrual cycle is considered the fifth vital sign?
In this episode of the Women's Wellness Authority Body Literacy Series, Julie Lisak explains why your cycle is one of your body's most important indicators of health and why understanding it can completely change the way you think about hormones, symptoms, and your overall well-being.
Together, we explore the four phases of the menstrual cycle, the roles of estrogen and progesterone, why symptoms shouldn't be ignored, and how body literacy empowers women to become confident advocates for their health.
