In today’s episode, I’m joined by the incredible Nicole Jardim, The Fix Your Period Coach, to talk about a conversation that’s sure to bring up a wide range of emotions for women—and we’re about to break the mold.
Nicole and I dive into why the medical system often fails women when it comes to hormone health and how so many women find themselves dismissed, gaslit, or left without answers after just a 15-minute appointment with their doctor. We discuss the glaring gaps in medical education, the importance of looking beyond the pill, and why we need to take our health into our own hands—and trust our bodies.
In this episode, we cover:
Nicole's personal health journey and how it led her to the world of hormone health coaching.
The issues with traditional medical care, including the over-reliance on birth control as a quick fix and the lack of support for women’s health.
Why female hormones are still under-researched, and how systemic gaps in medical education and policy are setting us back.
The taboo around talking openly about menstruation, perimenopause, and menopause—and why it’s time to change that.
How to become a self-advocate when the medical system doesn’t provide the answers you're looking for, and the importance of tracking your cycle and symptoms.
Breaking down the stigma and fear surrounding hormone health, and why it’s crucial to ask questions, seek second opinions, and trust your intuition.
Nicole also shares her expertise in becoming a hormone health coach, a role that helps empower women to take control of their health outside the traditional medical system. It’s a mindset shift away from just managing symptoms to getting to the root cause of hormone imbalances.
