Why You Don't Feel Great After Your Period: Understanding Your Hormones
Description
Ever wondered why you feel "off" for a few days after your period ends? In this episode of the Fresh & Fired Up podcast, Dr. Emily Marshall and Hailee Piendl dive deep into women's hormonal health and the science behind those post-period blues.
They break down how estrogen, progesterone, and stress hormones influence your energy, mood, and metabolism — and what your body is really trying to communicate. Learn when and how to test your hormones, how nutrition and sleep affect your cycle, and why self-advocacy in healthcare matters more than ever.
From understanding your "hormonal orchestra" to tracking your basal body temperature and supporting recovery through food and movement, this conversation will empower you to take charge of your hormonal balance and overall well-being.
