Cramping, water retention, mood swings and intense cravings for everything chocolate. If you’re one of the millions of human beings who get their periods each month, some of these side effects might be all too familiar to you. BUT why do our periods come with this long list of undesirable symptoms? Why for some and not others? And what’s actually happening to your body during your menstrual cycle and throughout the month? Today we’re talking EVERYTHING periods. I’ve had mine for well over a decade, and before this podcast, am a little embarrassed to admit I really had such a surface level understanding of what’s happening in my body every month and I’m so glad we’re talking about it. Nothing’s off the table.  I’m so excited to welcome Nicole Jardim to the podcast today, who is a Certified Women's Health Coach, writer, speaker, mentor and the creator and author of Fix Your Period.  Find Nicole here: https://nicolejardim.com/ https://www.instagram.com/nicolemjardim/ Preorder my cookbook, PlantYou: plantyoucookbook.com
