Your period is your monthly REPORT CARD.\u2063 It\u2019s our 5th VITAL SIGN. A PHYSICAL sign of your INTERNAL & OVERALL health.\u2063 I NEVER payed attention to my period because I had NO IDEA WHY it mattered!\u2063 It wasn\u2019t even something I consciously thought about it!\u2063 If I got my period okay I got it.\xa0 If I didn\u2019t, I didn\u2019t.

\u2063

I NEVER kept track of it. I NEVER thought I NEEDED to. I never knew ANYTHING about it because I was never TAUGHT anything about it!\u2063

\u2063\u2063

If we\u2019re having IRREGULAR cycles, PAINFUL periods, HEAVY periods, NO PERIODS, etc. THAT\u2019S our body\u2019s way of TELLING US there\u2019s an UNDERLYING issue that NEEDS to be UNCOVERED & ADDRESSED!\u2063

The 1st step is PAYING ATTENTION to your period.\u2063

\u2063

STEPS TO TAKE GOING FORWARD:

  • Get a tracker app (I use myFLO)
  • Count how many days it is
  • NOTICE the SYMPTOMS you get, NOTICE the COLOR & the CONSISTENCY.\u2063
  • DAY 1 IS THE FIRST DAY OF BLEEDING.\xa0
  • A regular period is anywhere from 21-35 days.
  • What\u2019s important is that it\u2019s always the same give or take a couple days.\u2063

IF I knew that OVULATING was CRUCIAL to my OVERALL HEALTH, METABOLISM, THYROID, BONES, SKIN, HAIR, STRESS RESPONSE, I would\u2019ve paid more attention & given more WEIGHT to the fact that I wasn\u2019t getting a period at all for 2 full years!\u2063 It wasn\u2019t a PRIORITY because I wasn\u2019t trying to get pregnant.\u2063

\u2063

I had no idea that OVULATING was CRUCIAL for more than just pregnancy.\u2063 Learn from MY MISTAKES & start CARING ABOUT & PAYING ATTENTION TO your periods. EVERY MONTH.\u2063
