Essentially You: Empowering You On Your Health & Wellness Journey With Safe, Natural & Effective Solutions

If you’ve ever felt like you’re riding a menstrual cycle roller coaster of cravings, exhaustion, and mood swings– this conversation is for you.  In this episode, I’m joined by leading researcher and women’s hormone expert Dr. Sarah E. Hill to unpack what’s really going on in your body—and your brain—during your cycle.  Dr. Hill breaks down how shifting levels of progesterone and estrogen in the second half of your cycle can impact everything from your sleep and appetite to your mood and libido.  We also talk about how this becomes even more complex—and important to understand—during perimenopause, when hormone patterns start to change unpredictably.  You’ll learn why traditional health advice often fails women during this phase of life, and what to do instead to actually support your body.  It’s time to rethink your period, reclaim your energy, and finally feel in sync with your hormones!
