Timing in a woman’s cycle can bring significant shifts in hormone levels, often leading to deeper emotional or introspective moments. While these experiences may feel challenging at times, they carry immense power—hormonal fluctuations can be embraced as a source of insight, growth, and even creativity.

In today’s newsletter, we’ll discuss the timeless remedies for symptoms of typical women's health conditions and review practical guidance for men to support women in their lives during these difficult times.
And yes, my list of remedies DOES include microdosing.
