Fix Your Period: Six Weeks to Banish Bloating, Conquer Cramps, Manage Moodiness, and Ignite Lasting Hormone Balance

Wished I read this book 25 years ago when I started my cycle! We all like to travel to foreign countries and learn new languages, yet we aren't familiar with our 'own country' and what our body is communicating with us. Fix your period is the perfect guide to learn about what your period and hormones are telling you and work thoroughly on a healthy foundation to shine through life. Let's talk period!

If you are a biological woman, you need to read this book!! Consider it an owner's manual for life with female hormones.

A very good read about how your diet influences your hormones. The science in this book is well explained. Would recommend both men and women read this book.

I still can't believe it. I have been suffering from severe PMS, i.e. PMDD with depressive phases, terrible mood swings and heavy water retention with extremely painful breasts, for 7 years. I have tried EVERYTHING and spent a lot of money on my PMDD - nothing has helped. My quality of life has suffered extremely, so much so that I have even postponed holidays etc. I have now followed the programme in the book very strictly for more than one cycle. I eat very healthily and consciously and yet there was still a lot for me to learn from the programme. I deliberately didn't look at my period app. Usually my severe symptoms start 2 weeks before my period. I was convinced that it would be 10 days until my period because I had ZERO problems with my breasts (!!!) and only mild mood swings. Yesterday, when I couldn't resist looking at my calendar, I couldn't believe my eyes - only 5 days to go!!!! Normally I would have been in pain walking up and down the stairs and would have been a mess. And now?? Almost zero symptoms!!! I did a real dance of joy and couldn't hold back my tears. THANK YOU Period Girl. If this keeps up, you have changed my life forever. Hugs, Clara from Austria

This book definitely has upgraded my knowledge and experience of being a woman. So much detailed and useful information, leading you through chapters filled with biology and anatomy to understand better your body to practical step-by-step guide how to start the process of reaching a hormonal balance and happier life. I wish one day every girl will be able to have this knowledge from early on before their first period.

For years I have struggled with period issues that were just dismissed by my doctors. I knew something wasn’t right and I talked to everyone I knew (even some acquaintances) in hopes of finding something, ANYTHING, that gave the answers I was so desperately looking for about my extremely regular pre-ovulation spotting and crazy mood swings. What drove me most crazy was doctors just dismissing me and not even bothering to listen. When Nicole’s book first came out in 2020 I was so excited that it sounded like the place where my answers were, but I waited to buy her book because I got pregnant that same month 😀 Now in 2022, after a wonderful, healthy pregnancy that honestly felt way better than my regular cycles, my periods have gone all over the place and been giving me trouble again. So I decided to finally get this book. I love it that she validates us women so much and has real explanations for what is/was happening in my body. I love it that in the dietary section she does say that everyone is so unique and no one diet is right for everyone. My one issue with the book is that then she goes on to talk about how no one should ever eat gluten and makes it seem like you are doomed if you ever do. Agree or not, this doesn’t allow much room for the individuality she talks about earlier in the book! Everyone is different. I know that I personally react much more to corn than gluten and brown rice and quinoa both give me stomach aches, so I personally choose to avoid quinoa and brown rice completely and limit corn. She generally does give you a lot of good ideas of what TO eat, rather than just what not to eat, so I feel like the whole totally anti-gluten, fearful thing is a bit out of place in her book (I know plenty of people who may eat “gluten free” but that doesn’t mean their diet is actually nutritious!) I wish she had just left it as “try without for a little while and see if you feel better” and made it more like her section on dairy with helpful information about less inflaming options. This whole journey has really taught me how to listen to my own body & instincts more rather than relying so heavily on what “experts” say. I feel like most of what I read in this book really honors this and honors women so much! I highly, highly recommend this book to anyone with period issues! They are real and you don’t have to live continue living with them!
