I have been wanting to talk about this for a long time, and this felt like the right place to start.
So let's break down allostatic load: what it actually is, the four signals your body sends before anything shows up on a blood test, and why so many of us have been taught to ignore them. There's also a real story from someone with three years of normal bloods, and what I would do if they walked into my practice. I hope it's useful!

Welcome, dear listeners, to another enlightening episode of the Health reflections podcast. In this episode, we delve into the significance of understanding our menstrual cycle. Below are the key points discussed:
- The menstrual cycle is more than just 'that time of the month'. It's a monthly report card that tells us how we're doing in terms of health and wellbeing.
- The menstrual cycle is a roughly 28-day cycle, split into four main parts: menstruation, the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase.
- Understanding the menstrual cycle can help make informed choices about contraception and family planning.
- Irregular cycles could signal health problems like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid issues, or even stress.
- Understanding our menstrual cycle can help us plan our lives better - many of us feel more energetic, confident, and creative at certain times of the month.
- Research has found a strong link between knowledge about the menstrual cycle and using contraception. Menstrual irregularities could also be early signs of future metabolic disorders.
- Our menstrual cycle is closely tied to our nutritional needs.
- Recommended resources for understanding the menstrual cycle better include the books "Repair Your Period" by Nicole Jardim, "Period Repair Manual" by Lara Briden, "Take Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler, and the apps Lively Sync and Natural Cycles.
- Understanding our menstrual cycle boosts our body literacy and is a form of self-care and self-knowledge that has been overlooked for too long.
