Why Your Period Is a Vital Sign (and What It’s Telling You)
Your period is more than just a monthly inconvenience—it’s a report card from your body. A healthy, regular cycle tells you that your hormones are in sync and your systems are functioning well.
When your period is off, it’s often a sign that something deeper is out of balance.
Warning signs to pay attention to:
-
Cycles much shorter or longer than your normal
-
Pain that interrupts daily life
-
Spotting mid-cycle or extra heavy periods
-
Acne, mood swings, or bloating that spikes before you bleed
Instead of suppressing symptoms, try asking: what is my body trying to tell me?
Common culprits include:
-
High stress and poor sleep
-
Blood sugar instability from restrictive eating
-
Toxic overload, specifically from xenoestrogens
-
Nutrient deficiencies, especially iron and magnesium
Your cycle is your body’s fifth vital sign—just like heart rate and blood pressure. Learning to read it gives you a real-time tool for health, healing, and self-trust.
