Description

Experiencing a menstrual cycle — or the lack of one — can bring up a lot of questions. Why do I have more bowel movements during my period? How concerned should I be about gaining weight during menopause? And do I need to stop using plastic cutting boards so I don’t get PCOS?

In this episode of On Nutrition, dietitian Danielle Cahalan explains the science behind cycle syncing, tools for navigating menopause, and which diets are ideal for patients with endometriosis and PCOS.
