EP #4: The 5th Vital Sign; What Your Cycle is Trying to Tell You
In this episode, we dive deep into the menstrual cycle — the often misunderstood and overlooked fifth vital sign of health. Faye takes the lead and breaks down why understanding your menstrual cycle is one of the most empowering things you can do for your physical, emotional, and mental health. We talk about why so many women feel disconnected from their bodies, how common symptoms are often dismissed or band-aided with birth control, and why real health comes from paying attention to what your cycle is telling you.
Expect a frank, empowering and insightful conversation about how to reconnect with your body, understand hormonal fluctuations, and take ownership of your health. Whether you're coming off birth control, dealing with PMS, PCOS, endometriosis, or just want to understand your cycle better — this one's for you.
