31: Period Perfection with Nicole Jardim - The Period Fixer

"Instead of looking at each person's bio-individuality, we're all treated with one protocol."

When we slap a band-aid solution like the pill on PCOS, irregular periods, acne, and PMS, the women behind the symptoms are left disempowered and without a real solution. That's what today's guest, Nicole Jardim, is passionate about changing. Through her work as a Certified Women's Health Coach, educator, author, and more, Nicole has impacted the lives of tens of thousands of people worldwide by addressing the root cause of what's going on in their bodies and minds rather than just treating their symptoms.

In this episode, Nicole and I talk about the glaring issues in how the medical system has treated women, how we can shift the stigma and shame around periods, her passion for educating women about their bodies, the rift between the traditional medical community and health coaches, and more.

Nicole is a wealth of information, and I highly recommend checking out her book, Fix Your Period, and connecting with her on Instagram. She's a lovely person, and I know you'll love this episode.
