S2 Ep3: Short Luteal Phases & PCOS: Why Timing Matters for Your Hormones

The length of your luteal phase—the time between ovulation and your period—can reveal a lot about your hormone health. In this episode, we dive deep into short luteal phases, why they happen, how they affect fertility and overall health, and why charting your cycle and paying attention to cervical fluid can be a game-changer. We’ll cover practical tips for supporting healthy ovulation and a robust luteal phase, including nutrition, stress management, and lifestyle strategies that can make a real difference.
