If you’ve ever felt like a completely different person week to week—extra social one day, craving alone time the next, energized, then suddenly exhausted—you’re not crazy, you just don't know how to live with your reproductive cycle. Naturopathic doctor Erin Stokes is back to break down exactly what’s happening during each phase of your cycle and how to work with your hormones (instead of fighting them). Dr. Stokes shares game-changing insights on what to eat, how to move, when to rest, and why syncing your routines with your cycle might be the key to unlocking your most radiant, balanced self. Whether you’re new to cycle-syncing or just ready to feel more in control of your body, this episode will change how you show up for yourself all month long.
