In this week's podcast, we are so excited to bring you an interview episode of Dr. Alex with Dr. Lara Briden (The author of Period Repair Manual)  We dig into how Dr. Lara defines PMS, the importance to take PMS symptoms seriously, hormone resilience, and so much more!  A little about Lara: “Lara Briden is a naturopathic doctor and the period revolutionary—leading the change to better periods. Informed by a strong science background and more than twenty years with patients, Lara is a passionate communicator about women's health and alternatives to hormonal birth control.  Her book Period Repair Manual is a manifesto of natural treatment for better hormones and better periods and provides practical solutions using nutrition, supplements, and natural hormones.  Now in its second edition, the book has been an underground sensation and has worked to quietly change the lives of tens of thousands of women.   We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!
