Heavy periods. At least 50% of women struggle with them enough to, well, absolutely skip wearing white pants during that time of the month, and for 1 in 6 women, they’re severe enough to significant impact quality of life – from disruptive, frequent trips to the bathroom to change pads or tampons, to serious at-work period accidents, to staying home from work social engagements, and basically living life for fear of public period accidents. 

Maybe this is something you’ve heard is “just a normal” part of having a menstrual cycle. (Nope!) Perhaps, like so many women, you’ve even heard this from your doctor! (Wrong!) Blowing through pads or tampons each cycle, stressing about ‘period accidents,’ arranging your life around your period, or feeling dang tired each month – or all the time – is anything but normal – and it’s certainly not something you should just have to ‘deal with, ’ever!

In this episode, I’ll share the causes of heavy periods – along with what you can do to identify your underlying causes, lighten your flow, and take back your life if heavy periods have been getting your down. For a companion article, go to avivaromm.com/146

The “nocebo effect,” the placebo effect’s malevolent brother --- so with placebos, the mere expectation that treatment will help, brings a reduction of symptoms, even if the patient is given a sugar pill. Whereas with nocebos, dark expectations breed dark realities - in other words, nocebos bring on negative symptoms. 

Check out this weeks podcast as we look more into the power of your thoughts and how they may be effecting your goals xo

The cholesterol you eat has little to no impact on your blood cholesterol. This is something most people don't understand, so then when they get a high cholesterol diagnosis, they immediately remove cholesterol containing foods from their diet and this can make things worse.
