Since this will be our 10th round of The Hormone Project (starting June 17th) my team and I decided we needed to release an epic education series to say THANK YOU to all of the women who have applied and come through this course. This is part two of our series, and it's all about cycle syncing and fertility awareness.
During this session I dive into what is actually happening when we are getting our menstrual cycle, why this is the fifth vital sign of our bodies, what we need to be paying attention to and I break down the four different phases of our cycles and talk about this in relationship to the ways we are going to feel and move and our overall health and wellness.
This episode is a little longer than usual, but it will be releasing as part of a series, complete with a digital worksheet and a video recording (stay tuned for its release in June!!)
These are the main topics I'm addressing in this amazing masterclass:
- ● Menstrual cycle as the fifth vital sign.
- ● The lack of time in doctor's appointment to truly listen to what is going on in your body.

- I have been travelling around with my family and I always bring the necessary items to make our morning smoothies to start the morning in the right way. Protein powder is the easiest way to enhance this morning ritual, and the Fermented Organic Vegan Protein Powder is a must! I seriously recommend it for a better, healthier digestion.
- Also, with the change of seasons going on, lots of people are dealing with allergies and this can also show up on the skin, try the Calendula Vitamin E cream which is usually the best for healing wounds, relieving inflammation and irritation, helping to create a barrier, shielding the skin and preventing itching.
