Cycles: The Science of Periods, Why They Matter, and How to Nourish Each Phase

There is no one-size-fits-all guide to your cycle. But registered nurse Amy Hammer arms you with a strong foundation in physiology and hormonal health, explores historical and sociocultural aspects of women's health, and reimagines the phases of the menstrual cycle as aligning with the four seasons to provide a detailed guide for living well.

Become in tune with your internal rhythm, reclaim the meaning of self-care, and cultivate optimal health for every season of life. This comprehensive, body-literate guide includes:

● 40 nutrient-dense, menstrual-phase specific recipes that support hormonal, emotional, cognitive, gut, and overall health.

● The science behind menstrual cycles and how hormonal fluctuation impacts your brain, breasts, skin, and weight.

● How to track your cycle using fertility awareness methods, allowing you to naturally and effectively avoid or pursue pregnancy.
