A Nurse’s Guide to Hormones and Mental Health: Menstrual Tracking Insights

SUMMARY: 
Hormonal fluctuations across the menstrual cycle don't just affect physical health—they have measurable, clinically significant mental health implications that are still widely misunderstood, underdiagnosed, and often dismissed in practice. This episode breaks down the hormone-mood connection, explains the phases of the menstrual cycle and what's happening neurochemically in each, and explores how menstrual tracking can be used as a clinical tool to identify patterns, differentiate conditions, and guide care.
