Ep 6. What a ‘Normal’ Period Really Looks Like — Step Into the Red Tent

In this episode of Fertile, host Em Marigold walks you through what a ‘Normal’ period can look like, explaining the difference between a true menstrual cycle and withdrawal bleeds from hormonal contraception, and where menstrual blood actually comes from—the shedding of the endometrial lining.Em covers common signs to watch for: blood colour and consistency, flow length, pain and its causes (stagnation, clots, Oestrogen dominance), and how cycle length varies by Ayurvedic dosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha).She also discusses PMS, mood changes, practical tracking tips, and gentle lifestyle and menstrual-care suggestions like period pants and reducing irritants.This episode is a concise, empowering guide to reading your body, understanding symptoms (from light or heavy bleeding to painful cramps), and believing that healing and a pain-free, predictable cycle are possible.⁠ENDO + PCOS Masterclass⁠⁠Our 4-Month Healing Programme⁠Apply for 1:1 Private Healing⁠ with Emma⁠In-Person Retreats⁠ Follow ARTÀ HealingInstagram: ⁠@artahealing.co⁠ Instagram: ⁠@fertile.podcast⁠YouTube: ⁠@arta_healing⁠ Sending Love & HealingEm Marigold MH BSc MNIMH and the ARTÀ team
