MENOPAUSE: UNDERSTANDING THE TRANSITION
Menopause is a time to understand our bodies more deeply, question what we've been taught about aging, and make space for who we're becoming.

THE RHYTHM OF HER
Week Four · Luteal Phase
The luteal phase invites us to turn inward, slow down, and listen more closely to what our bodies need. A season of reflection, restoration, and honoring the rhythm within.

THE RHYTHM OF HER
Week Three · Ovulation
The moment of release.
In this issue of The Rhythm of Her, we move into ovulation, the brief but powerful turning point when a mature egg is released and the body enters its most fertile window.
We explore the hormonal conversation behind ovulation, the signs your body may be giving you, the connection between your reproductive and digestive systems, and the ways cycle tracking can deepen your body literacy.
We also explore the symbolic rhythm of the full moon: fullness, expression, vitality and release.
Your body is always communicating. The question is whether we’ve learned how to listen.

THE RHYTHM OF HER
Week Two · Follicular
There is a moment after the bleeding ends when something begins to shift.
Energy returns. The mind feels clearer. Curiosity stirs. You may been more social, creative, motivated or simply ready to step back into the world.
There is the rising energy of the follicular phase, as estrogen begins to climb and your body moves toward ovulation.
Pay attention to how you feel here.
Notice your energy. Your mood. Your digestion. Your desire to move, connect, and create.
Your body has its own rhythm.
Learn to listen for it.
THE RHYTHM OF HER • The Science + Soul of the Female Cycle • Menstruation
THE CYCLE WITHIN
Week One · Menstruation
Every month, your body moves through a rhythm of change. Hormones rise and fall, the uterus prepares, releases and begins again.
Menstruation marks the beginning of the cycle. It can be a time of rest, reflection and connection with the body.
In this first chapter, we explore what is happening beneath the surface, how your cycle can influence digestion and elimination, and the beautiful relationship between the rhythms of the body and the moon.
Come back to your body.
Pay attention.
There is a lot to discover.
THE LONG GAME
Maybe the most important question isn’t what we lose. Maybe it’s what we gain, what we protect, and what we carry forward with us.
A fitting reflection as we come to the end of this five-part conversation about GLP-1s.
THE OTHER SIDE OF GLP-1 Beyond Weight Loss and the Number on the Scale
Beyond Weight Loss and the Number on the Scale.
GLP-1 medications are changing more than the way people eat. As the weight comes off, new questions are emerging about what else may be changing along the way.
Because the number on the scale will never tell the whole story.
