Your Cycle Health

Your period is a barometer of your overall health.  Every sign and symptom gives us a ton of info about your period and your health.

 
From the start of one period to the next, how long is your menstrual cycle?
TIP: The length of your period tells us how well your liver is using your hormones.
 
Is your cycle the same length from month to month?
TIP: Cycle variability shows how well you produce and manage your hormones.
 
Not including spotting, your period lasts how long?
TIP: Bleeding length tells us about the quality and volume of your blood.
 
Do you have spotting before or during your cycle?

Your Hormone Health

One of the best measures of your hormonal health is your period. These next questions help us understand how effectively your liver can break down and eliminate your hormones.

 
Do you have pain or tenderness in your breasts or nipples before or during your period?
 
Do you get headaches or migraines before or during your period?
TIP: About 50% of migraines in women are menstrually related. Improving your overall cycle can often improve migraines.

Your Cramping and Pain

While 4 out of 5 women experience cramps, this doesn’t have to be “normal.” These questions will help us understand how bad your cramps are.

 
Do you get back or muscle pain before or during your period?

Before and during your period, what's your general energy level?

Do your bowel movements change before or during your period?

Your Lifestyle & Mood

Tired, angry, sad, happy - sound familiar? When you can’t use and eliminate hormones, you see emotional and mood changes, indicating that your liver isn't functioning optimally.

On average, how much sleep do you get each night?
