🎧 About Today’s Episode:
Heavy, painful periods are often brushed aside as “normal” — but sometimes, they can point toward something deeper, like adenomyosis. In today’s episode, we talk about how adenomyosis can impact not just your cycle, but also your energy, nutrient levels, inflammation, and fertility.
I break down the connection between heavy bleeding and nutrient depletion, the key role nutrition plays in supporting your body, and the everyday dietary habits that may help reduce symptoms and support reproductive health over time. We also touch on iron, inflammation, supplementation, and common misconceptions around dairy and gluten.
If you’ve ever felt exhausted around your periods, struggled with painful cycles, or wondered whether nutrition can actually make a difference — this episode is for you.
