Period Repair

Menstrual cycles have been around as long as humans have been alive.  And despite being the cyclical force responsible for our existence, we have been encouraged to not talk about our periods.  Taboo has led to shame, ignorance, fear and unacceptable suffering.  Excellent health care for those with periods requires attention to and knowledge of the menstrual cycle.

At Womb for Growth, menstrual cycles and periods are not taboo. Discussing your periods and learning how to understand your cycles leads to better health, relief from suffering, reproductive freedom, and confidence in your body. Womb For Growth has the resources you need to help you along that path. 

What is your period telling you?

Periods are important for optimal health not only during our fertile years but also long after we stop menstruating. When we make our own estrogen and progesterone in sufficient amounts, we can enjoy healthy metabolism, digestion, and mental health. Robust cycles in our fertile years contribute to better health in our post-menopausal years. Research confirms that as we age, heart, breast and bone health are dependent upon a history of balanced hormonal health. 

Your period is a vital sign.  If it is painful, irregular, too heavy, too light, or somehow just not right, your health is communicating to you that it needs attention.  At Womb For Growth, we specialize in a functional approach to period challenges. This means we utilize a thorough history, charting instruction, labs, nutrition and lifestyle improvements, as well as appropriate referrals for body work or medical care. In this way, we can determine the underlying cause(s) of your period challenges, help you heal from synthetic hormone treatment, and learn how to chart your cycle for effective family planning and health monitoring.  We work together to create a plan designed to optimize your health and drastically improve your periods.  Whether you have absent periods or horrible periods, endometriosis or PCOS, live in fear of unplanned pregnancy or are trying to conceive, help is here for you.
