Dysmenorrhea (aka period pain) affects up to 50-60% of all women with periods.Are you the one waiting for a doctor's note every 4th week? Crawling in bed with a heating pad begging for nature to run its f@#$ing course?

Welcome to class. It's time to get down to brass tacks and clarify what's normal vs. what's not when it comes to cyclical period pain.

We'll share real data behind the definition of primary vs. secondary dysmenorrhea (and when to consult your physician), along with treatment methods and preventative measures from a medical and holistic standpoint.

Lastly, we'll talk new world tech (aka Jovi patch) and old world practices (like vag steaming) to add to the protocol -- you'll thank us later.
