Period Power is a profound but practical blueprint for aligning daily life with the menstrual cycle, teaching women about their hormones and how to use each phase to its full advantage.
Ninety percent of women experience symptoms of PMS, yet there’s an enduring lack of understanding about what it actually is, and a disappointingly meager range of treatment options.
So many of us have a Jekyll-and-Hyde experience of our lives; we feel on top of the world, capable, confident, and sexy for part of each month, then find ourselves in a state of physical and emotional discomfort and fatigue. But what if instead of just trying to plan for our dark days, women were equipped with ways to improve them? What if our desire to improve ourselves could be combined with our need to know just what our womb and ovaries are getting up to every month? Not to mention how to take advantage of the natural superpowers that sit in each phase of our cycle so that we can plan our month to perform at our best.
Maisie Hill is uniquely placed, as an acupuncturist, women’s health practitioner, and doula, to explain just how we can achieve this, as well as focusing on particular milestones such as coming off hormonal birth control, infertility, pregnancy, motherhood, and the perimenopausal years. Using what Hill calls the “cycle strategy”—a woman’s secret weapon when it comes to improving her relationships, career, and health--she will apply the principles of Eastern and Western medicine to give women all they need to make sense of their cycles so readers can improve their physical symptoms.
