130 – Seeing Red- What Your Period Is Trying to Tell You About Your Health & Fertility
“The menstrual cycle is this feedback mechanism for our menstrual cycles that nobody’s talking about, and that it’s a resource that can allow us to have access to tremendous resources to take care of our own health and be less reliant on pharmaceuticals, surgeries, and things like that.” – Kirsten Karchmer
Kirsten Karchmer is dedicated to helping women improve their health, menstrual cycles, and fertility.
