Why do some cycles hurt more than others? w/ Savannah Regensburger

Most of us have spent years brushing off period pain as just part of the deal. We double up on painkillers, cancel plans, and wait for it to pass, often wondering if this level of discomfort is actually normal. The truth is, while period pain is common, it’s usually your body’s way of sending a message that something deeper needs attention.Is it just inflammation? Is it my hormones? Or is there something like endometriosis or autoimmunity beneath the surface?In this episode of the Ask Lively Podcast, Nathalia sits down with clinical nutritionist Savannah Regensburger to cut through the confusion. Savannah has navigated her own journey with endometriosis and autoimmunity, and now she helps women decode their symptoms from the inside out. No more just pushing through. We are bringing you real insights into why your body is reacting this way.In this episode, we’re diving into:- The Normalization Trap: Why we’ve been taught to accept pain and how to recognize when it’s actually a sign of an imbalance.- The Root Causes: What your cramps might be revealing about your gut health, inflammation, and estrogen levels.- The Stress Connection: How your nervous system and lifestyle habits directly impact the intensity of your period.- Your Relief Plan: Practical nutrition and daily shifts that support a more comfortable and balanced cycle.- Self-Advocacy: How to use your own cycle data to get better answers and care from your healthcare providers.Remember: Your cycle is a vital sign, not an inconvenience.
