Dr. Christopher Ryan is co-author of the New York Times best-seller, Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What it Means for Modern Relationships (translated into 15 languages), alongside his partner-in-crime (and wife), Cacilda Jethá, MD. Drawing upon his multi-cultural experience, Chris' research focused on distinguishing the human from the cultural, first by focusing on shamanism and ethnobotony—studying how various societies interact with altered states of consciousness and the sacred plants that provoke them—and later, by looking at similarly diverse cultural perspectives on sexuality. His doctoral dissertation was a multi-disciplinary investigation of prehistoric human sexual behavior, guided by the world-renowned psychologist, Stanley Krippner, at Saybrook Graduate School, in San Francisco, CA. Chris is finishing a new book for Simon and Schuster tentatively called Civilized to Death: Why Everything's Amazing but Nobody's Happy, —and he puts out a weekly podcast, called Tangentially Speaking, featuring conversations with interesting people, ranging from famous comics to bank robbers to drug smugglers to porn stars to authors to plasma physicists.

All women , at all ages, experience a variety of uncomfortable physical and emotional sensations in their body throughout their monthly cycle and throughout her phases of life as a woman. Some, and often many, of these experiences in the body make it quite difficult to function in their outer and inner landscape and world. Unfortunately, our culture see these sensations as symptoms of a "syndrome." We have been taught to deal the with pain, suppress challenging emotions, move on, and keep being an outward participant in society. A container, ritual, or rite of passage for women to align with their natural cycles has sadly been replaced with a pill that "normalizes" our cycles to what fits in a linear, masculine society. Becoming in partnership with your body and re-learning to be deeply in tune with our feminine rhythm and cycles , can unlock more energy, grace, creativity, desire, and wisdom , which is waiting to be uncoiled. Through knowledge about what is exactly going on with your cycle and hormones, detailed protocols , designed specifically for your feminine bio-individuality, and a greater awareness and knowledge on how to tap into your wisdom and feminine blueprint of your feminine cycles, I have confidence you will have the keys to unlock these doors of your wellness and your wisdom.
