What actually is the menstrual cycle—and why does it matter?
In this episode, Dr. Jerilynn Prior joins the hosts to break down hormones, ovulation, and the menstrual cycle from a whole-body health perspective. They bust common myths, explain why estrogen and progesterone work as a team, and walk through a full cycle—covering cramps, PMS, ovulation, and why your cycle is about much more than reproduction.
If you’ve ever been told “it’s just your hormones,” this episode is for you.
