- How to navigate changes and fluctuations in body image, libido, and mood across the menstrual cycle.
- How to speak to partners, family, and health professionals to advocate best for yourself and your needs.
Not Just a Period is a truly pioneering look at key aspects of women’s health: nutrition, movement, sleep, mood, libido, body image, and skin and hair, examined for the first time through the lens of the menstrual cycle.
It’s time to feel empowered – not held back – by the unique way your body works. With Dr Hazel’s advice you can finally live happily alongside and in tune with your cycle.
