Today, we are revisiting another conversation with Dr. Lara Briden. In this episode, Lara joins us to break down what a normal period actually looks like—because let’s be honest, most of us were never taught this.We cover how long your period should last, how much blood loss is normal, and what symptoms might signal a hormonal imbalance.A big takeaway? Having a period doesn’t always mean you’re ovulating. If your cycles are long, irregular, or your period lasts more than seven days, you might not be producing enough progesterone, which plays a huge role in balancing hormones, mood, and metabolism.We also discuss heavy periods, post-pill cycles, and why your period is a key health indicator—plus, how low progesterone can impact anxiety, energy, and PMS.
