This week on The Less Stressed Life Podcast, I am joined by Leisha Drews, RN, FDN-P, Holistic Hormone Coach and host of the Happily Hormonal Podcast. In this episode, Leisha shares how her transition from conventional to functional medicine occurred. She breaks down the menstrual cycle, explaining how its phases affect women’s energy and productivity. She highlights the importance of listening to your body and using each phase's strengths, from the low-energy period phase to the high-energy follicular phase. Leisha also discusses why some cycling women may have pre-period bloating and shares tips on temperature tracking to monitor cycle health and fertility. I just love that Leisha expresses her passion for helping women, emphasizing that they are often underserved when it comes to understanding their own bodies. She speaks my language! 🥰
