Nicole Jardim joins me to dig deep into stress and how it impacts our body, hormones, period, Endometriosis and ultimately our fertility. Now I did a podcast on stress, episode EF#4, but this is way better! Nicole just has a way to explain things and make the connections and increase your understanding.
Stress comes in many forms, from internal to external, actual and perceived. We are made to incredibly deal with stress, but our world today is more stressful than ever. Nicole explains in fantastic detail but simplistically what is happening with our hormones, how they are all amazingly interlinked, and most importantly how our fertility is affected. Nicole finishes with some of the basic things you can do to reduce the stress impact on your body.
About Nicole:
Nicole Jardim is a Certified Women’s Health Coach, writer, speaker, mentor, and the creator of Fix Your Period, a series of programs that empower women and menstruators to reclaim their hormone health using a method that combines evidence-based information with simplicity and sass. Her work has impacted the lives of tens of thousands of people around the world in effectively addressing a wide variety of period problems, including PMS, irregular periods, PCOS, painful & heavy periods, missing periods and many more.
Rather than treating problems or symptoms, Nicole treats women and menstruators by addressing the root cause of what’s really going on in their bodies and minds. She passionately believes that the fundamentals to healing any hormonal imbalance lie in an approach that addresses the unique physiology of every person. This is essential to reclaiming and maintaining optimal health and vitality at any age.
Nicole is the author of Fix Your Period: 6 Weeks to Banish Bloating, Conquer Cramps, Manage Moodiness, and Ignite Lasting Hormone Balance, and the co-author of The Happy Balance, a recipe book filled with over 80 hormone balancing recipes. Finally, she’s the host of The Period Party, a top-rated podcast on iTunes—be sure to tune into that if you want to learn more about how to fix your period—and has been called on as a women’s health expert for sites such as The Guardian, Well+Good, mindbodygreen and Healthline.
