What Every Woman Should Know About Their Body with Alisa Vitti

Did you know that 50% of women have hormonal imbalances, while only 10% of men struggle with the same issues? Or that your period is your 5th vital sign? Or that toxins in your cosmetics may be affecting your endocrine system? We tackle these topics with Alisa Vitti HHC, AADP - a functional nutrition and women's hormone expert, the founder of FLO Living, bestselling author of WomanCode, and In The Flo. In this episode we discuss institutionalized gender bias in health research and information, what the Infradian Rhythm is, and why every woman needs to be aware of how this affects us. How to use cycle synching to make your life easier. The pitfalls of productivity culture - how it may be working against your biology. Why PMS is a big indicator of your hormone health that you need to pay attention to.   Also, toxins in your makeup, body products, cleaning products, tampons - what to look out for. Why the pandemic is the perfect time to try a diva cup. And, how shapewear can interfere with your lymphatic system.   ANNOUCEMENT: Merch drop!
