    How to Understand Your Period as a Biomarker

    In another mother-daughter duo episode, Rajinder and Kavita discuss the foundation of women's health: the menstrual cycle. They cover the signals your cycle communicates — from what "normal" period pain actually looks like to what birth control does to your hormones. These insights reframe how women can live life with their cycle rather than in spite of it. Rajinder and Kavita open up about their own struggles with cycle irregularities, including what they wish they had known about periods growing up. They also reflect on what they would have done differently when it came to talking about periods at home and how moms and daughters can better support one another through every cycle transition. It's the conversation your mom probably never had with you and the one you'll want to share with every woman in your life.  Ready to take the next step in your midlife journey?
