“Your period is your 5th vital sign. When we have the awareness that the menstrual cycle is a gauge of your overall health, it makes us lean in a little bit more and listen to these signs. Your menstrual cycle will tell you the health of your body. ” – Dr. Cassandra Wilder
I know I keep saying over and over how excited I am for each of the guests we’ve been having on the Become an Unstoppable Woman podcast, but it’s because it’s true! I am just so effing excited that I’ve been having such strong women on the show whose research is literally changing the day-to-day in women’s lives.
Today is no different. This topic has been a long time coming on the show (I’ve been hinting at it for months and months). I am talking to Dr. Cassandra Wilder about how to balance hormones, the impact of birth control, and all things period health.
You are not going to want to miss this one. This topic impacts the lives of SO MANY women. Out of my clients and friends, I’d say more women than not have expressed some sort of period or hormone irregularity that they’ve been trying to work through.
How crazy is that? It’s really that common to just live your daily life feeling like one of your vital signs is off. And then when you go to your doctor to talk about the issue, it gets brushed off as being “normal” or you’re offered some form of birth control to “fix” the problem.
I’m here today to tell you that just because it’s common does not mean it’s normal. And it definitely does not mean it’s ok.
I want this to end today. You don’t need to mask the problem with birth control or some other medication, you need to get to the root of what’s wrong to heal and balance your hormones.
This is exactly what Dr. Cassandra Wilder does. Having studied health and nutrition in college and quickly finding treatments leaning on symptom suppressing medications that weren’t actually figuring out the problem, she then went on to naturopathic school where she found her people and her niche.

Neither Cassandra or myself are anti-birth control. Birth control has opened up a lot of doors for women and it’s an important thing. But this is about really understanding how birth control impacts our bodies so we can make a logical and firm choice about it.
We all have the same story…as teenagers going to the GYN for the first time for irregular periods or some unwanted hormonal symptom, and leaving the office with birth control pills that you may have ended up taking for 15-20 years.
This is about looking back on that moment and really understanding it, and then moving forward from here to heal whatever hormonal issues are coming up for you.
I know this topic impacts so many women right now and I am so excited to share it with you today so you can start to improve your life right now. Listen at the top of this page.
