S3 Ep 14From Calorie Counting to Nourishment: Lauren Chambers is Transforming Women's Health S3E14

Undereating, Period Problems & Perimenopause Prep | Hormone Healthy Eats with Lauren Chambers (Period Coaching) On the Period Besties podcast, the hosts welcome hormone health coach and cookbook author Lauren to discuss how undereating, skipping meals, fasting, and omitting food groups can contribute to period problems and hormone imbalance. Lauren explains research gaps in women’s health, notes that menstruating women may need around 2,600 calories daily, and defines undereating as under 1,500 calories, which can lower estrogen and progesterone, shorten the luteal phase, and impact fertility. She shares client patterns like fasting with partners, resulting in slowed thyroid function, increased cortisol, intensified PMS, and metabolic changes. The conversation also touches on Ozempic concerns related to appetite suppression and bone health, especially approaching perimenopause, and emphasizes nourishing, cycle-aligned eating and stress regulation. Lauren describes her journey into menstrual work and outlines her cycle-based cookbook approach.

S3 Ep 9Meridian Magic: Exploring Health and Wellness with Nicole Glassman S3E9

Meridian Testing, Detox Layers & Women’s Health (PMS, Fertility, Perimenopause) | Period Besties Podcast In this Period Besties podcast episode, Katie and Stasha interview a New York City practitioner, Nicole Glassman about her approach to restoring balance by meeting clients where they are and creating incremental, sustainable health changes. She explains bioenergetic meridian testing (a pen-like device used on hand and foot acupuncture points connected to a computer) to assess inflammation and whether the body is managing it, then uses that data to explore root causes such as pesticides, allergies, heavy metals, parasites, Candida, food sensitivities, and vitamin/mineral deficiencies. The conversation covers layered detox protocols designed to avoid strong detox reactions by first opening pathways (gut motility, liver, lymph, kidneys), supporting adrenals, and using tools like probiotics, digestive enzymes, gut lining repair, drainage remedies, herbs, and homeopathics. They discuss how gut, thyroid, adrenal stress, and toxins can drive hormonal imbalance and affect menstrual cycles, fertility, painful periods, and libido, as well as how organ/meridian timing may relate to symptoms like afternoon slumps and waking at consistent times overnight. The episode includes perimenopause and menopause support (hot flashes, irritability, weight and fluid changes), with mentions of specific supplements and herbs (including chaste tree and dong quai), castor oil packs, lymphatic movement tools, and working alongside progesterone or bioidentical hormones when clients are already using them. She outlines her own self-care practices (yoga, sauna, time in nature/water, supplements, massage, reducing phone use), her interest in building community and supporting caregivers, and how to find her at mindfulhealth.biz and @mindfulhealthnyc, including virtual options, customized lake-house retreats, and a 10% discount on an initial service for listeners, followed by a lightning round about her preferences and routines. Nicole has offered all Period Besties listeners $100 off of their first session of the total reset or nervous system reset.
