Thanks so much for all the great resources and reviews of the books. I have suffered from pcos was able to go through infertility treatments to have my 2 boys. I have suffered for many years with migraines around my period and just recently learned about food and hormone balance. I am 46 years old and am finally learning more about my body thanks to people like you talking about periods, hormones, etc. I love the enthusiasm you have. I wish I had known more about this when I was younger. I am still on birth control, suffered cystic acne as a teen and young adult. Knowledge is power!

I just started reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler and I’m loving it!

I love your enthusiasm Crystal, I don't think I know anyone who's that comfortable and excited to talk about mentrual health. I will have a look at the books, I think some of them a perfect for a friend of mine (and well let's be honest, I want to read them as well haha).

In the Flo by Alisa Vitti introduced me to Cycle Awareness!

Also, Beyond the Pill by Dr. Jolene Brighten is awesome for those coming off of hormonal birth control!

Thanks for the recommendation. I would love to have the plantbased reading guide.

Great..love your enthusiasm for the diversity of books.. Just wondered why you didn't include "The Fifth Vital Sign" ? Seems also a great book to me..And "Fix your period"....Although I am aware of course that you can't include them all!...

[CycleCoachAcademy]

Literally just added all these books to my Wishlist. Crystal, I'm experiencing really bad cramps lately, unlike nothing I've experienced before. Wondering which of the books you'd recommend for starting to delve more deeper into pain, pain management (I'm not allowed NSAIDs), and hormones? Thank you for making these videos! You're a gem <3
