In this episode, I’m diving into a topic that so many women have been told to just “live with” ovulation pain. You might know it as that sharp twinge or dull ache mid-cycle that you’ve been told is normal or “just part of being a woman.” But here’s the truth: recurring ovulation pain is a sign your body is communicating something deeper.
I’ll walk you through what’s really going on when ovulation hurts, what your hormones are trying to tell you, and the most common root causes from inflammation and sluggish detox pathways to mineral imbalances and blood sugar dysregulation.
In This Episode, I Talk About-
What’s actually happening in your body during ovulation
-
The hidden reasons why ovulation pain happens and what it reveals about your hormone balance
-
How gut health, liver detox, and blood sugar play a role in mid-cycle pain
-
My favorite simple, natural strategies to support pain-free ovulation
