Episode Summary

Just as abnormal blood pressure, respiratory rate or heart rate can be a key indicator of potentially serious health concerns, your menstrual cycle and patterns are an equally important vital sign to how your body is functioning. Nicole Jardim is a ‘period-fixer’ who is here to dive into the role of the endocrine system and the vital role of the menstrual cycle in reflecting our overall health.

In the end, your health is everything, and taking care of what is happening inside your body is a non-negotiable. If you are struggling with your health, hormones or period, it’s time to take action and fix what’s going on so that you can live your life to the fullest.

Quotes

“You can rewrite your period story, you can actually change that. You can’t change the beginning, but you can change your perspective around it, and I think that is so critical.” (18:05)

“We do not take pain in our uteruses as seriously, for many reasons, and that is a huge problem. When it is uterine pain, it is completely normalized. It is totally normal now to have that kind of pain, sometimes debilitating, and for a doctor to just dismiss it. And that is totally unacceptable to me.” (22:33)

“You have to start to look deeper, you have to start figuring this out because you deserve better and no one should tell you that this is okay.” (23:37)

“Your health is everything, and people who don’t develop health issues when they are younger take so much for granted and that for me was my biggest lesson.” (33:31)

“You have to make the decision. You have to decide that you are worth it, that this is something that you feel is going to fundamentally change your life. And if you make that decision, I think all of these changes are completely possible.” (37:01)
