Episode Title: From Menstrual Pain to Vibrant Health — Sandra’s Journey to Hormonal Healing

DISCLAIMER: PERSONAL HEALING JOURNEY!
For full disclosure, read further down! 

• In this powerful and emotional episode, Sandra shares her deeply personal health journey — from living with debilitating menstrual pain since her teenage years, to experiencing postpartum depression, migraines, and extreme hormone imbalances after each pregnancy.

Doctors guessed diagnoses like MS and Fibro; Doctors gave her pills. 
Midwives offered hormonal contraception. 
But nothing truly helped — until she decided to become her own health advocate.

🔍 You’ll learn:

• How Sandra’s copper spiral led to 10 months of non-stop bleeding

• Why her migraines started after her second child

• The shocking results of her inflammation test 

• How less (but better quality) supplements changed everything

• How she went from 12 painkillers a month… to none

• The empowering moment she realized she could track her cycle and live naturally again

• Why inflammation might be the root cause of your period pain or lack of period

If you or someone you know is struggling with hormonal issues, PMS, menstrual pain, or burnout — this episode is for you.
