Have you ever noticed that your body seems to whisper before it shouts?
Fatigue, mood shifts, or a late period aren’t inconveniences — they’re communication.
In this Flow Fact Friday episode, Heather Allmendinger, Queen of Flow and host of the Embracing Flow™ Podcast, explores how your menstrual cycle acts as a built-in feedback loop for your overall health. Long before labs or diagnostics show imbalance, your body leaves clues in the rhythm of your cycle.
You’ll learn:
🌿 Why the menstrual cycle is considered the fifth vital sign
💡 How stress, under-nourishment, and sleep patterns can alter your hormones
🩺 What irregular, painful, or missing cycles may reveal about thyroid or adrenal health
✨ How to read your cycle as data — not drama
Your body isn’t broken; it’s brilliant.
Every change in your cycle is an invitation to listen, not push through.
