In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by women's health coach and menopause specialist Heather McCarel for a deep conversation about menstrual cycle awareness, hormonal health, and what it truly means to work with the female body — not against it. Together, we explore why understanding the menstrual cycle matters at every stage of life, how ovulation impacts overall health far beyond fertility, and why so many women feel disconnected from their bodies — especially during perimenopause and menopause. Heather shares her expertise on cycle syncing, infradian rhythms, fitness and nutrition for women, and how reconnecting with natural cycles (including moon cycles) can be deeply regulating and empowering. This episode challenges outdated, male-centric health narratives and invites women — and the next generation — to see hormonal fluctuations not as a problem to fix, but as vital information guiding how we live, move, eat, rest, and care for ourselves. Whether you're cycling, perimenopausal, postmenopausal, or supporting the next generation of women, this episode offers practical insight, deep validation, and a new way of understanding women's health — one rooted in biology, compassion, and self-trust. 🎙️ If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe, rate, and review the podcast—it helps more women and practitioners find these conversations. ✨ Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode: https://www.facebook.com/wandercoach @wandercoach757 https://wandercoachva.com/quiz-form ✨ Let's Stay Connected: 📌 Join my Newsletter: https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/1225699/160641692811134066/share 💜Learn more about my Menopause Informed Training Program: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/mitprogram 🖥️ Website: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/ ▶️ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@jacquelinerosehealth 🛜 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinerose-womenshealth/ 🔅 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theyogaroom120 🗨️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinerose_womenshealth/
