About this episode

The episode discusses the menstrual cycle and its phases with Dr. Natalie Crawford, highlighting common misconceptions and the importance of understanding one's body.

We’re kicking off our new mini-series with Natural Cycles by finally asking the question every woman has wondered at some point: Why does no one ACTUALLY teach us how our menstrual cycles work? Joined by board-certified OBGYN and reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Natalie Crawford, we break down the four phases of the menstrual cycle, what your hormones are actually doing each week, and why you feel like a boss one minute... and a feral recluse the next. Plus, Dr. Crawford shares the shocking truth about why most period-tracking apps miss ovulation, how cycle tracking can help you catch bigger hormonal issues sooner, and what every woman should know about fertility, embryo transfers, and advocating for herself at the doctor. Whether you’re trying to get pregnant, avoid pregnancy, or just want to understand your body better, this episode is the masterclass we all should have gotten years ago.
