Have you ever wondered how your lifestyle choices affect your hormonal health? In today's episode, I spoke with Miranda Popen to dive into the menstrual cycle and how it impacts women's wellbeing. Miranda explains the changes women may experience in our menstrual cycles after pregnancy and break down the four key phases of the cycle.

Miranda Popen is a hormone-nutritionist based in Toronto, drawing from both personal experience and education to help women achieve symptom-free periods. At 18, Miranda figure skated professionally around the world for five years, which left her with various health issues and hormonal imbalances. Her passion for sharing what she's learned through social media stems from wishing she had that knowledge when I was struggling. Now, through The Period Lab, Miranda offer 360-degree support, combining testing, tracking, treatment, and open discussions about hormonal challenges. The program focuses on education, guiding women to naturally balance their hormones through personalized nutrition, training, and lifestyle adjustments. The Period Lab goes beyond being a program—it's a holistic protocol designed to empower women to take control of their health and thrive in harmony with their cycles.
