IRB Media Summary of Lara Briden's Period Repair Manual

Annotation

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The period is coming out of hiding. Women are starting to embrace their periods, and not fear them. Period apps make it easier to track your cycle, and as a result, make periods seem more normal.#2 Your period is not just your period. It is an expression of your underlying health. When you are healthy, your menstrual cycle will arrive smoothly, regularly, and without undesirable symptoms. When you are unhealthy in some way, your cycle will tell the story.#3 When treating a patient with gluten sensitivity, it is important to also treat the underlying issues that cause the patient to have symptoms. In Meagan's case, her Psoriasis and Irregular Periods were both caused by gluten sensitivity.#4 The pill is a band-aid solution that suppresses skin oils, overrides hormones, and forces you to have a bleed. It does not regulate hormones, but rather switches them off entirely. Natural period repair is a different approach that supports your ovaries rather than suppressing them.
