Fix Your Period: Six Weeks to Banish Bloating, Conquer Cramps, Manage Moodiness, and Ignite Lasting Hormone Balance Hardcover – Illustrated, April 28, 2020

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!

I have been looking for this book for 4 years and I can't believe it exists! I stumbled upon it and boy am I happy I did. This book is up to date with modern information mixed with tried and true wisdom of how to FIX YOUR PERIOD. I have many period health books and this one is the most helpful, resourceful and relatable. I love and you will too!

My bestfriend who happens to be a women's PT has been harassing me to get this book forever and I was like eww no im not getting a weird book about Aunt Flo, im just going to keep coming to you for all my questions thanks.BUT after a winter of feeling sluggish and bleh and noticing that my PMS mood swings were affecting my relationship, I started searching for answers - a lot of which were leading to maybe needing supplements, maybe looking at a FODMAP diet... after probing my friend again she said OMG GET THE FREAKIN BOOK!And ill tell you I am not a good reader, im slow and I get distracted. Today... I opened this book and read almost 100 pages. and if the book hadn't stressed the importance of a good nights sleep, I might just stay up to keep reading because IM SO EXCITED to learn more about the six week program.This book has changed everything I thought I knew about the menstrual cycle. No one ever told me what birth control actually does, a doctor just slapped it on my "bad cramps" diagnosis as a teen. And I am mad that this book wasn't around 20 years ago to educate me. But its so much more, its about your wellness as a whole. and stress management. and understanding the intricate workings of your body.Again - the book says sleep well so you're lucky I don't have time to write ten more paragraphs about how excited I am about a book I have barely read 100 pages of.Bottom line... get this book. get it for yourself. get it for your girlfriends. get it for your daughters, your nieces, your granddaughter... spread the good freakin news!

Great book for all women to read. I agree with the majority of her advice and I wish I had this book many years ago. She also offers info on IG as well as has a website sub for this. I highly suggest you give this a read and if things aren't right get her sub and keep pushing doctors for answers. Don't give up! You don't have to live with excruciating pain, heavy periods, and other issues with your health.

If you want to improve your menstrual health, this is a book to get your hands on. It is an invaluable resource that every young woman should read in their lifetime...it will teach you a lot! This book really opened my eyes, and expanded my knowledge about my body, and self.The book is rigorously researched and comprehensive...Jardim doesn't scratch the surface of women's health issues: she dives deep. The book empowers you with vital information, while also providing you with a sense of familiarity and comfort...You feel as though you are in the good hands of a reliable expert, yet the language is so accessible, and engaging, that the information flows tranquilly.Jardim espouses a holistic and balanced way of regulating your cycle, which promotes long-term healing. The healthy and non-inflammatory recipes at the back of the book were also a pleasant surprise. Jardim fully equips, and empowers the reader with knowledge about their bodies to regulate their cycle. This book is something special.
