Menstrual health – the key to better well-being and overall health

Let me start by telling you about Menstrual Health. It’s a topic worth exploring and understanding on many levels. But what does it really mean? Have you ever wondered how your menstruation can be a barometer of your overall body health? It’s much more than “just bleeding time.” Right from the moment we start menstruating, our body sends us signals that are worth learning to read. ‍♀️

Menstrual health – the fifth vital parameter

Menstruation is an important indicator of general health that should be taken as seriously as breathing, temperature, blood pressure and pulse. Why? Because regularity, cycle length and even how you feel before and during menstruation are clues to how your body is functioning.

Long before perimenopause your body starts signaling that you may want to make lifestyle changes. It is worth learning to listen to these subtle (and less subtle) signs.
What is our body telling us?

Symptoms such as:
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
…are signals that your body needs support.

We often hear: “You have such beauty” or ”It hurts because it has to hurt.” But the truth is different. Your body is telling you that it’s time for a change – for the better!

How do you start supporting your menstrual health?

The key is self-observation.
Not just those few days of bleeding, but your entire cycle. Your body sends you daily cues that can help you understand what needs to change to feel better. It may seem difficult at first, but day by day you will begin to put the pieces of this puzzle together. Soon you will become a real detective of your hormones! ️‍♀️

Lifestyle and menstrual health

How you take care of your body on a daily basis has a huge impact on your health:
During menstruation, in perimenopause, in postmenopause – a healthy lifestyle brings results at every point in your life.
Your body is your garden – the more care, love and attention you give it, the more beautifully it will bloom.
What’s next.
