If you’ve ever felt betrayed by your body during ovulation...like, why do I feel worse during the feel‑good phase of my cycle?! — this episode is your answer key.

We sat down with The Period Girl herself, Nicole Jardim, for one of those conversations where everything just clicks. Nicole, author of Fix Your Period and founder of the Fix Your Period Collective, has spent over a decade helping women heal painful cycles, transition off hormonal birth control safely, and finally understand what’s actually going on in their bodies.

Inside, she breaks down the histamine–hormone connection, why PMS and ovulation pain aren’t “just part of being a woman,” and the practical steps you can take to feel better in every phase of your cycle.

This episode will help you:

➡ Understand why ovulation pain & PMS aren’t just something to “deal with”

➡ What's normal ovulation pain vs. not normal

➡ Learn how histamine, estrogen, and inflammation are all connected

➡ Get the 101 on DAO enzymes, estrogen dominance, and healing strategies

➡ Feel validated, empowered, and way less confused by your cycle

It’s just a phase. But it’s your body. And you get to know it.
