Good nutrition, not stressin’ to hard, getting your Zs, moving your body… You know, that good stuff. She starts by covering the general health stuff that is so important as a basis. In the next part she starts getting into fixing your period/cycles. I really liked how well she explained how your cycles and health are connected and that your period/cycle is giving you a window into what is going on. This includes talking about how what your cycle is doing is giving you a window into your hormonal health (exactly why I love fertility awareness so much!), why the pill doesn’t fix your hormonal health issues, what to do instead of the pill, how your period/cycles should be, and things that can go wrong with your period/cycles. The first part is all about understanding your period (really, understanding your cycles, but I can see why she chose to use period instead of cycles :p). So let’s talk about what’s actually included in Period Repair Manual! Though, to my knowledge, this is being fixed. The only small complaint I had was that there was a bit in the FAM section that was sort of mixing the sympto-thermal method (what I teach here through my HER fertility program) with rhythm method. Why? Not only does she talk about so many common hormonal health concerns, but she also talks about how hormonal birth control does not fix your hormonal health issues (!), recommends fertility awareness as the least invasive form of birth control, and gives great explanations for all of the hormonal health fixes recommended. I liked Lara Briden’s blog a ton, so I figured her book would be a nicely put together, more in depth version of what she covers on her blog.Īnd it turned out I liked it way more than I even thought I would.I am always reading different hormonal health books both for the information but also to see which ones I like for recommending to people, and.I bought the book basically the second it came out, because That’s how I’ve been feeling about Period Repair Manual by Dr. Have you ever read a book and you just can’t stop recommending it to people? Maybe even start to feel like everyone is going to think you are paid to recommend it to them?
