139 - Perimenopausal Women - Make Your Cycle Work For You Hello, Hot Flash: Conversations about menopause, women’s health and mindset for midlife women.

Welcome to today's episode, where we will discuss something that every man should know about: the menstrual cycle. Whether you're a husband, boyfriend, or friend, understanding this natural process can help you be a better partner and support your loved one through the ups and downs of hormonal changes.
 I’ll be discussing the different phases of the menstrual cycle and what your partner or friend may be experiencing during each one. We'll also talk about the importance of proper nutrition, exercise, and self-care strategies that can help alleviate symptoms and improve overall well-being.
 
So, ladies, if you're listening to this episode, we have a challenge for you: call your husband or partner and invite them to listen in. By having your partner listen in, they can learn more about what you're going through and how they can support you during different phases of the cycle.
