Period Power is a profound but practical blueprint for aligning daily life with the menstrual
cycle to give women a no-nonsense explanation of what the hell happens to their hormones every
month and how they can use each phase to its full advantage. Ninety per cent of women
experience symptoms of PMS a syndrome which features a wide range of signs and symptoms and
yet there's an enduring lack of understanding about what it actually is and a disappointingly
meager range of treatment options. So many of us have a Jekyll and Hyde experience of our lives
we feel on top of the world capable confident and sexy for part of each month then find
ourselves in a state of physical and emotional discomfort and fatigue wanting nothing more
than to collapse on the sofa in front of Netflix. But what if instead of just trying to plan
for our dark days women were equipped with ways to improve them? What if our desire to improve
ourselves could be combined with our need to know just what our womb and ovaries are getting up
to every month? Not to mention how to take advantage of the natural superpowers that sit in
each phase of our cycle so that we can plan our month to perform at our best. Maisie Hill is
uniquely placed as an acupuncturist women's health practitioner and doula to explain just
how we can achieve this as well as focusing on particular milestones that require an altered
approach such as coming off hormonal birth control infertility pregnancy motherhood and the
perimenopausal years. Using what Hill calls the cycle strategy--a woman's secret weapon when it
comes to improving her relationships career and health--she will apply the principles of
Eastern and Western medicine to give women all they need to make sense of their cycles as well
as accessible and practical suggestions through which readers can improve their physical
symptoms and stop berating themselves because of the way that they evolve through each
menstrual month.
