Your hormones control far more than you realize, and the symptoms you're experiencing might have surprising connections to your hormonal health. Ashley Rocha, CEO of Ladywell, joined us to share how her twenty-year battle with PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) led her to create innovative solutions for women's hormonal health.After conventional treatments like birth control and antidepressants failed her, Ashley turned to herbalism, discovering powerful combinations of adaptogens, mushrooms, and herbs that completely transformed her hormonal health within months. This personal breakthrough inspired her to develop Ladywell's comprehensive supplements designed to support women through every hormonal stage—from puberty through menopause.What's particularly eye-opening is the vast range of symptoms connected to hormonal imbalance that most women never associate with their endocrine system. From surprising allergies and irregular heartbeat to ear ringing and dizziness, perimenopause alone can manifest in 34 different ways! These symptoms aren't just inconveniences—they can significantly impact relationships, work performance, and overall quality of life.The conversation explores fertility challenges (affecting one in six couples worldwide), the importance of proactive supplementation months before trying to conceive, and how tracking your cycle provides invaluable insights for managing hormonal fluctuations. Ashley emphasizes that stress management through adaptogens is a game-changer for hormonal balance in our high-pressure world.Whether you're dealing with PMS, perimenopause symptoms, or postpartum hormonal shifts, this episode offers practical insights and solutions to help you understand and take control of your hormonal health. Discover how balancing your hormones naturally might be the missing piece in your wellness journey.Source: getladywell.comUse code LETS20 for a 20% discount on website

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome to let's talk midlife crisis. I'm Ashley and I'm Tracy.
We're your go to hosts for all things midlife, menopause,
and moments of Pure Mayhem. And today we.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Have Ashley Rosha, CEO of Ladywell with us.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Welcome, Ashley, Welcome, Hi, thank you for having me. It's
great to have you. And you have a really cool name,
by the way.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yes, so tell us a little bit about Ladywell.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Yeah, so, Ladywell is a targeted primonal healthcare supplement company
for women. We're really focused on serving women from puberty
to menopause because we're all on a hormonal journey.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
No either whether we like it or not.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
So we're really looking at women's struggles, whether it be PMS, PCOS, PMDD,
through those fertility, pregnancy years, postpartum and into perimenopause and
menopause years.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
And all our supplements are really holistic.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
We look at Eastern and Western medicine and combine them
to make formulations that are really effective and really clean
and healthy for women.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I love that. What drove you to do this and
go on this adventure?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Yeah, so I had primoral health issues the day when
p puberty I was thrown to this roller coaster of PMDD.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
I thought it was PMS.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
I didn't know what PMDD was at the time, but
so basically one week of month was just taken down
by these really intense mood screens, and I turned to
a whole different person, you know, quick to anger, really moody.
I had really bad period pain. So I was taking
like twenty out of villa day during that time. And
this went on for two decades. I would go see
doctors at some point in this time and they would
(01:43):
prescribe permonal birth control and SSRI eyes and I knew
that I didn't need antidepressants because I knew I wasn't
depressed because you know, as my period came, the symptoms went.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Away, right.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
And I did dabble in every single birth control half
there and none of it really worked for me anyways.
So those were not solutions treating the problem. And it
was in my mid thirties I started trying to have kids,
and I was slow to get pregnant, and I was like, okay,
like I want to have kids. I got to focus
on this. There's obviously something off of my hormones. So
I started putting the pieces together, and I'm an herbalist,
(02:13):
and so I started looking to the plant world to
find solutions for hormone care for women. And I started
finding all these wonderful herbs and adaptogens and mushrooms that
really helped me move the needle and change my pm DD.
So I worked with the natropathic doctor as well. So
that's how I really hitpointed that I had PMDD to
begin with, and finding these herbs and these formulas, I
(02:37):
got rid of my PMDD within like six months and
drastically changed my lab. My PMDD was affecting my relationships,
my productivity, work, just every part of your life can
be really touched by hormones. And so once I was
able to relieve myself from that, I just opened up
a whole new world. And I also was eventually able
to get pregnant with I have two baby boys.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Now, congratulations.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
I started Ladywill because as I because of this journey, right, Like,
it took me so long to find these solutions. They're
so obscure, so like I had to really dig and
do the work myself, and I didn't want other women
to struggle with, you know, two decades of pain and
misery like I did. And luckily the conversation around hormones
have changed and there's more brands that offer solutions for hormones,
(03:21):
and we care about women's.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Health a little bit more than we used to.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
So that's amazing, and I want to continue that conversation.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
But when I was doing this this.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Health journey my own, I was piecing together like twenty
different thingsures a day, like a lot of different herbs,
mixing them, and I found formulas that worked for me,
but I knew it was like it was very complicated
and hard to manage, and so I wanted to simplify
the process for other women and create formulas that are
really comprehensive and covered a lot of ground within one
formula so you didn't have to.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Figure it all out on your own. Piece things together.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Right, A lot of us don't have money to go
like to functional medicine doctors as much as we need to, and.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
You don't necessarily need to. Also if you have, if.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
You know your symptoms are, you can find supplements like
we have a Lady Well that will help you relieve
some of these issues that commonly come with Cormanton balance.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Right, Well, that's two decades of that, almost three decades.
That's a long time to suffer through that.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I've never even heard of PMDD, honestly, I had neither
four a couple.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
And but it's really an eye opener for me because
I think that maybe my youngest might be suffering from that.
Right so that has never been clinically diagnosed, so to speak,
but I could definitely tell the difference in her, you.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Know, once a month. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's terrible. I
personally never was regular ever. And again, I was prescribed
birth control, you know, to try and regulate that, and
I tried various you know options, and always had issues
with every one of them, whether it was waking or
(05:02):
one of them actually caused my ovaries to get cysts
on them and I had to have it removed. Yeah,
it was just a lot of weird stuff and terrible,
terrible cramps, I mean debilitating, like double over. Yeah. But
as far as the mood swings, I'm sure I was
a little edgy. I think I do have, but not
(05:22):
to that extent. I mean that is that is a
lot to deal with for so many decades. That's terrible.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Even period pain like that's not necessarily that's not normal,
So we shouldn't have to put up with diagnect like
even those symptoms that come on PMS, if they're getting
in the way of you feeling your best, then it's
not something we need to deal with and we're not
given the tools of the education to even know that
we can do something about it.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Right. Absolutely, I think it's great that you've done this
to help women and not have to go through the
the journey that you had to go through to find it, right,
and thank you.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
For sharing that.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
And it's get Ladywell dot com is the website. It's
pretty much fully comprehensive. Do you want to talk a
little bit about your website.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Yeah, So we really look to serve women where they're
at in their journey through life. So we have supplements
for our daily Hormone Balance is really our hero supplements,
the first one we launched with, and it really is
great for all women at all stages from you know,
period years through all the way to menopause. It has
it's really, I guess I said literally holistically formulated. So
(06:24):
we bring adaptagens, functional mushrooms, amino acids, vitamins into one
formula and they are all things that help with women's health,
whether it be your mood, your cycle regulation, painful periods, sleep, stress.
Stress is a huge piece of hormone care. We're all
stressed out in this world, and stress is horrible for
your hormones. So managing your stress and adding adaptogence to
(06:48):
your diet, will you really do wonders with your hormones
in the end. So we literally just look at hormone
care from a lot of different angles. And then we
have fertility supplements, so women who are trying to conceive,
we have a fertility a health.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
So we definitely.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Recommend that if you want to have a baby now
or in like a year or two, you should start
planning ahead and getting your body prepped for that.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Because it was kind of like me, like.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
All of a sudden, I want to have a kid,
and but my hormones were a mess, and like my
foundational health wasn't there, So it made it really hard
to get pregnant. And even if I wanted to do IVF, Like,
if you do IVF and you don't have balanced hormones,
you're you're setting yourself up to be behind.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Right, the IVF might not work.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
You just wasted thirty thousand dollars, right, So you really
want to make sure that your health and your hormones
are in order before like a while before we start
to conceive.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
So I recommend taking like.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Ferlatility and egg health and a prenatal about a year
in advance, just to get those nutrients stores up and
making sure that you're having the highest quality genetic material
for creation because it takes at an egg maturation cycles
in about ninety days, so you want to think before
that time, right, And then we have things for perimenopause.
We're coming out of perimenopause specific supplement this summer or
(07:58):
maybe the springs in the works right now.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
The daily hormone balance is also great for perry.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
So really just you know, treating women with all these
struggles that we go through and perry is a big
problem in our society, and we're wholly ignored it.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Perimenopause and menopause itself. We've ignored all these symptoms.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
And it really can get in the way of women
living their best lives because there's like upwards of one
hundred symptoms that can happen, and commonly like brain fogs,
sleep issues, weight gain. I mean, obviously the regular periers
because your periods are going to be changing. But those
are so many things that really can get in the
way of you accomplishing just daily tasks and frustrating.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, and like you said, affecting your relationships, you know, yes,
that's if.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
You're having a mood swimming, like you become a different person.
And you know, a lot of women in midlife are parents.
We have people are having kids later too, so.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Your hormones are I mean, you might be going.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Through perimenopause while you have young kids, and that's just
an extra hard because the stress of having young kids
and then the stress of perimenopause, it's all all kind
of layered on itself, so it's hard to unwrap.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
And but to be a better parent.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
I think that the foundation if you can get your
hormones in order, you can kind of avoid the things,
the mood swings that will happen and the mom rage
and the quick to anger, you'd be in a better
place to just like take on the stresses and you know,
go on that rollercoaster ride in a happy mood and
not like just like stressed out mode.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
There was an article you had posted on your website.
I kind of scrolled down to look at some of
the resources you had available, and one of them was
the multiple Symptoms of perimenopause, and the number to me
was staggering. Thirty four. Yes, thirty four, right, and I
(09:49):
mean obviously not nobody's the same. We've talked about that
everyone's going to have different, you know, different symptoms, and
it's just and you're no, I hope to god nobody
has all thirty four. It's not likely, I'm sure, but
some of them were actually eye opening to me. I
didn't even think about it, and it kind of I
(10:11):
was like, oh, I that could be why my allergies
are worse than they used to be, you know. And
I have friends who have said I never had allergies before,
and now I'm getting these like hay fever type another one, right, right.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I've never had allergies and growing up in the same place,
you know, my intention.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Like you most Yeah, yeah, it could be a hormonal thing.
Another one that I didn't even realize irregular heartbeat. That's scary.
That probably kind of goes in line too with the
anxiety of it, you know.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yeah, I've heard of that for menopause as well, so.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, breathing difficulties, dry eyes, and ear ringing. Ear ringing
was interesting to me. But dry eyes, I never ever
ever had an issue with that until I hit perimenopause,
and I never would have linked the two ever. I
thought it was just because my allergies are getting.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Worse sometimes feel so like disconnected from hormones. And it's
not about your period, about your fertility. So we don't
put them together because we're just never educated on.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
This stuff, right, and so we just don't know like
if we have dis and vertigo, like, oh that's my mormones.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
You don't put pieces together really easily.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Right, Yeah, absolutely, yeah, it really, Like I said, it
was very eye opening to me, and I thought, you know,
a lot of the things that I'm experiencing that I
never really have before could be attributed to that in
some way. Not always, but it's it was interesting to me.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah, And right now I think we've never had these
clinical studies like we're being able to receive today, right
to identify and come up with products.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah, because they're finally saying, oh we should research this
whole menopause thing. Really, thank you, people need this right weird?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, yeah, on your website as far as somebody ordering,
because we did talk about the fact that you know,
not everyone is the same. How have the products? How
does someone go to your website and.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Know what to buy?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Know what to buy?
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Well, yeah, I tried to really simplify it by creating
formulas that do a lot. So look at your like
your brain health, your stress levels, your estrogen levels, like
the look at it from a holistic point of view
and a really wide lens instead of being.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Specific, so you won't have to like piece together like oh,
I'm gonna get chess berry because I know it's good
for this.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
And then like a sleep one, we are going to
have like sleep supplements and other ones that you can
layer on top if you feel like you need extra
in that one area. But we want to create a
foundational supplement that will help will be brought up enough
to help you at least like on like a level
for all these different things. So most women will use
(13:07):
our daily hormone balance because that's like the all in one,
I'd say catch all for hormonal health. Like once again,
it has like the different aspects and herbs and mushrooms
and adaptogens and vitamins, so it really treats women on
a broad scale. And then if you have perimenopause, we'll
have our perimenopause one, which, like, as you said, there's
(13:28):
so many symptoms of perimenopause, you just will layer that
one on top and that will just kind of give
you the extra boost with more like the hot flashes.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
And the mood.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Really okay, so you can take those together, yes, exactly,
you'll layer those.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Yeah, And I would say with supplements, it's you always
want to add something to your diet, give it three
months to see how it affects in your body, how
it's working for you. You can't just take something for
one month and be like, Okay, well that you got
to give your time, but didn't take a really long
time to get your body a really long time, meaning
(14:03):
I would say three months.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
I guess we'll start working immediately.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Like different symptoms have different timelines, So bloating, for example,
like you should feel relief and bloating fairly quickly within
your first cycle.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Maybe I'll have some mood changes.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
So yeah, with any supplement, not just lady, well, but
you want to start putting that in your diet and
letting it work its magic for three months and then reassessed.
Maybe a lot of your symptoms went away, but you
still have this like inability to sleep at night. Then
you can layer in a sleep supplement. Right, So you
want to just kind of start step by step and
see what you need after you have a basic foundational level.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Wow, that's amazing. I like that.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
And you do offer some bundles as well. Oh yeah,
the products. Right, So you've actually done a lot of
the thinking for us and knowing what we need before
we know what we.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Need, so it's not just all all a caart. Yeah,
like I'll pick this, I'll pick this up.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yeah, And Magnis I'm a a great one. We have
magnesium and most women are deficient and magnetium. I love magnesium. Yeah,
we can get magnesium through a diet, but most of
us don't get enough of it. And it totally helps
with sleep, hormone balance, cramps, body pain.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
It kind of solves a lot of different things.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I recommend that we all take my museum ours is
a magnesium spray which is really great. So we pore,
you go to bed, you can spray on the soles
of your feet and your legs and it helps you,
you know, float away into nice dreamland.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Yeah, those stressful thoughts.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I love the topical.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
I used to take the powder versions, and I just
realized that, like you had to mixing so much water,
and I just woke up to peace so.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Much time, so many times during the night.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
And it was also just kind of hard to stay
on that rhythm of mixing in my water. I was
less likely to take it when it was powder than
I was just spray on my feet, which was really
easy and kind of I felt like self care more so.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I was thinking the same thing.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
And a lot of your products you offer the powder
and capsule versions, so I would be more of a
capsule I take help.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, but I like the idea of the spray to
do that at night. I love that is it is
there a scent to it?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Scentless?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
I believe with hormone care and women's health in general,
a lot of sense come with endocrine disruptors and them.
It's really hard to just find, you know, things in
this world that don't have toxins, and it's unnecessary.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Then I don't want to add it in there.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I love that my daughter.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
I don't want to be counterproductive to the health.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah, my daughter has very sensitive skin and we have
just gone through such a tough time figuring out what
she can use, what she can't use. You know, what
ingredients we need to look for that will irritate her skin,
and and a lot of it she can't use. Fragrance,
you know it.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Just artificial fragrances are very bad for your health, so
you should avoid those as much as possible.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah, And I also love the fact that you offer
prenatal vitamins because I remember my children are all adults now,
but I remember never feeling more healthy than I was
when I was pregnant and always attributed that to taking.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
The prenatal vitamins.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Probably right, but for the most part, those were prescribed
or only available to you back then when you were pregnant, right,
you know you're obgui n So I really like the
fact that they're available for those as you mentioned, that
are planning to have children preparing their bodies.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
So it should definitely take a foreign advance before you
try to have kids during a pregnancy of horrors and
then postpartum, because we're so depleted postpartum.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Things are being sucked out of our bodies still, and
it's hard to get those stories back out.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
So I still continue to take prenatals even though I
have a baby who's eighteen months now, but they're superior
to regular vitamins.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah, I think I would have continued to take them
as long as I could.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Back in the day if they were available. So yeah,
that's great.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
And the fertility, I feel for some reason that more
people are struggling with infertility these days.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I know, you know, maybe.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
More than a handful of people that have used fertility
in order to conceive, So I think it's brilliant that
you're incorporating that into your product line as well.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I think it's about one in six couples worldwide that
experience infertility at some point in their journey.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
And then there's secondary infertility, which I see.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Happening a lot around me because my friends at a
stage where we're having second kids and they can't get
pregnant with their second kids. And then the stats on
that is about eleven percent of women experience secondary infertility,
So it's yeah, we're all once again having kids later
in life, so it makes it a little bit harder
to have kids easy. And then our diets, our lifestyle,
our environment, these endocrine disruptors that are everywhere that we
(18:54):
can't avoid, the plastics, they're all really negatively impacting our fertility.
And then you know, our lifestyle practice is like not
getting enough sleep stress. I saw a study that said
nurses had much higher level of infertility because they worked
the night shift, so they're start cuting and rhythm was off,
and it just shows you that's how important sleep is
(19:16):
for your health and your hormones and your fertility.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
And there's probably not a lot I may be wrong
because obviously I'm not looking for it, but there's probably
not a lot of products out there that help with
infertility outside of prescription or from you know positions, right.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Yeah, that's it's also that's the problem.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
There's not a lot of support because if you go
to your doctor, they'll be like, Okay, well have you
been trying for six months?
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Go get IVF righting. And unless you're seeing.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
A naturopathic doctor without specializing sub fertility that will do
tests on you and try to uncover the root, cause
you're kind of in this medical system where it's like
we're band aid solutions, Okay, IVF try to force it
out of you. Right, But you know a great solution
is to start trying once again balance you hormones, taking
care of your health, these fertilities something months like.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
That's the first step, I would say.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
And then if you're having this, really struggling for a
year or more and you want to look at do
I have an underlying infection my vitamin D deficient? Because
just those little things like europlasma, just these little things
can make it so you're not getting pregnant.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
And they're easily fixed. Right with the europausa.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
You can take an animbiotics and then it's gone, biamin D, take.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
More vitamin D, right, and then you can get pregnant.
So you might not need an IBF. But yeah, our.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
System isn't necessarily set up to give us that help
we need.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Wow, Right until now, Yeah, until now, And thank goodness
for people like you that are making these products available,
right yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yeah, and all the way from PMS to menopause, right,
because we've talked.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
About it puberty, yeah, all the way to the end.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
Right, all of the.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Hormonal changes that women go through in their life cycle.
It's not just menopause. It starts way way earlier than.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
That, and yeah, and we I mean not to knock
on men. We try to include them because I know
they go through their own midlife and hormonal things. But
you know, they have a really a lot easier than
we do. They just do, yeah, they do.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
They're simpler forms are simpler, so yeah, easier for them.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
And you have a lot.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Of additional information and products on your website, like your
inflow planner that also will help those that are.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Trying to conceive.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Right.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
So, I've never been one to track.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
My own so I always tried, but it was never
It's like, oh, here we go again, this just happened
two weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Recycle is like the most important thing you can do
for your health, especially even trying to conceive it right,
you know, and you're ovulating to be in that.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Wa right right.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
But also people that have PMDD, so maybe your daughter
would be really helpful for hers are tracking new recycles,
so you know, and you should track her cycle.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
So you should know where she's at as well, and
then you can you know, helps relationships when we're all
aware of the.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Hormonal the time of the month.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Fluctuations will Yeah. So I thought I'm gonna be a
mooting next week.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
I'd rather have that knowledge and have like be softer
on myself, playing around my my moodiness or how my
husband knows, so we can avoid a fight.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Right, Yes, you're absolutely right, and I've been trying to
track it.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I'm not I haven't been doing a good job, but
I asked the questions, oh, you know, are you on
your period right now? And she's are you ready to start?
And she's like, no, I'm on, I started two days
ago or something like that. And You're like, life that
I need to be marking this down because I now
only probably because I'm more mature. Try to stay in
(22:48):
tune with my body and my hormones and figure out
what things are connected with what, right, so I can
understand it and you know, overcome it eventually, I guess
would be the ultimate goal. But with her, she doesn't
connect the dots. Try to help educate her, you.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Know, very sensitively, right.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Very sensitively?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
How much that has to do with the emotional swings
that she has throughout the month?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Right, and poor thing?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, putting all that back, righting it all back into one.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
But yeah, I really appreciate that you have those products.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
What would you say is your favorite product of all
the ones that you have available.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
I think the daily hormone balance is amazing.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
That's the one that you know, really changed my life
and helps me just feel sane when.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
You know he's my hormones in line.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
As a mom of two young kids, things are really stressful.
Sleep is hard, it's hard to say balanced, and it's
like I need hacks, like mom hacks. So like having
balanced hormones really helped me manage by mood because I
think mood is really important, especially for me who used
to have comunity. Like if I if I'm not in
a happy place, then it makes it harder to be
(24:08):
a really good parent. And when I was a postpartum
your postpartum roller poster, it can be intense for a lot.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Of women, and I was, you know, geared up.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I had my daily hormone balance, Like I knew what
to expect with my hormonal how I was going to fluctuate,
and so I didn't have any of those blues.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Like I really managed my hormones. I was able to
come out of pregnancy in a really great light.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
And I was going to mention that as well about
postpartum my guesses is that they would be these hormones
and supplements would be very good for those that are
suffering from postpartum because I also think that that has
become now the forefront of conversations.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, I think, you know, it probably was still happening
a lot, but it wasn't talked about a lot, which
is again like we experienced with menopause too. It's just
something that was, you know, happening, but nobody was talking
about it. And I know, like I mean, years and
years ago, there was a woman that like actually took
(25:09):
her children's lives. It was so bad and she wasn't
being treated and she was in such a dark place.
And I remember when she went on trial hearing about
what it was, and I was like, oh my gosh,
that is terrible this and she felt terrible about what
she did. She literally was just like I don't even
want to be here anymore. I can't believe what happened.
(25:30):
I can't believe the place I was in. And obviously
it's not that extreme for everyone. Even if it's just
you know a little bit of depression or blues, it
still needs to be treated. You know, these people need help.

We're your go to hosts for all things midlife, menopause,
and moments of Pure Mayhem. And today we.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Have Ashley Rosha, CEO of Ladywell with us.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Welcome, Ashley, Welcome, Hi, thank you for having me. It's
great to have you. And you have a really cool name,
by the way.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yes, so tell us a little bit about Ladywell.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Yeah, so, Ladywell is a targeted primonal healthcare supplement company
for women. We're really focused on serving women from puberty
to menopause because we're all on a hormonal journey.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
No either whether we like it or not.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
So we're really looking at women's struggles, whether it be PMS, PCOS, PMDD,
through those fertility, pregnancy years, postpartum and into perimenopause and
menopause years.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
And all our supplements are really holistic.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
We look at Eastern and Western medicine and combine them
to make formulations that are really effective and really clean
and healthy for women.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I love that. What drove you to do this and
go on this adventure?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Yeah, so I had primoral health issues the day when
p puberty I was thrown to this roller coaster of PMDD.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
I thought it was PMS.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
I didn't know what PMDD was at the time, but
so basically one week of month was just taken down
by these really intense mood screens, and I turned to
a whole different person, you know, quick to anger, really moody.
I had really bad period pain. So I was taking
like twenty out of villa day during that time. And
this went on for two decades. I would go see
doctors at some point in this time and they would
(01:43):
prescribe permonal birth control and SSRI eyes and I knew
that I didn't need antidepressants because I knew I wasn't
depressed because you know, as my period came, the symptoms went.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Away, right.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
And I did dabble in every single birth control half
there and none of it really worked for me anyways.
So those were not solutions treating the problem. And it
was in my mid thirties I started trying to have kids,
and I was slow to get pregnant, and I was like, okay,
like I want to have kids. I got to focus
on this. There's obviously something off of my hormones. So
I started putting the pieces together, and I'm an herbalist,
(02:13):
and so I started looking to the plant world to
find solutions for hormone care for women. And I started
finding all these wonderful herbs and adaptogens and mushrooms that
really helped me move the needle and change my pm DD.
So I worked with the natropathic doctor as well. So
that's how I really hitpointed that I had PMDD to
begin with, and finding these herbs and these formulas, I
(02:37):
got rid of my PMDD within like six months and
drastically changed my lab. My PMDD was affecting my relationships,
my productivity, work, just every part of your life can
be really touched by hormones. And so once I was
able to relieve myself from that, I just opened up
a whole new world. And I also was eventually able
to get pregnant with I have two baby boys.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Now, congratulations.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
I started Ladywill because as I because of this journey, right, Like,
it took me so long to find these solutions. They're
so obscure, so like I had to really dig and
do the work myself, and I didn't want other women
to struggle with, you know, two decades of pain and
misery like I did. And luckily the conversation around hormones
have changed and there's more brands that offer solutions for hormones,
(03:21):
and we care about women's.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Health a little bit more than we used to.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
So that's amazing, and I want to continue that conversation.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
But when I was doing this this.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Health journey my own, I was piecing together like twenty
different thingsures a day, like a lot of different herbs,
mixing them, and I found formulas that worked for me,
but I knew it was like it was very complicated
and hard to manage, and so I wanted to simplify
the process for other women and create formulas that are
really comprehensive and covered a lot of ground within one
formula so you didn't have to.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Figure it all out on your own. Piece things together.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Right, A lot of us don't have money to go
like to functional medicine doctors as much as we need to, and.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
You don't necessarily need to. Also if you have, if.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
You know your symptoms are, you can find supplements like
we have a Lady Well that will help you relieve
some of these issues that commonly come with Cormanton balance.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Right, Well, that's two decades of that, almost three decades.
That's a long time to suffer through that.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I've never even heard of PMDD, honestly, I had neither
four a couple.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
And but it's really an eye opener for me because
I think that maybe my youngest might be suffering from that.
Right so that has never been clinically diagnosed, so to speak,
but I could definitely tell the difference in her, you.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Know, once a month. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's terrible. I
personally never was regular ever. And again, I was prescribed
birth control, you know, to try and regulate that, and
I tried various you know options, and always had issues
with every one of them, whether it was waking or
(05:02):
one of them actually caused my ovaries to get cysts
on them and I had to have it removed. Yeah,
it was just a lot of weird stuff and terrible,
terrible cramps, I mean debilitating, like double over. Yeah. But
as far as the mood swings, I'm sure I was
a little edgy. I think I do have, but not
(05:22):
to that extent. I mean that is that is a
lot to deal with for so many decades. That's terrible.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Even period pain like that's not necessarily that's not normal,
So we shouldn't have to put up with diagnect like
even those symptoms that come on PMS, if they're getting
in the way of you feeling your best, then it's
not something we need to deal with and we're not
given the tools of the education to even know that
we can do something about it.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Right. Absolutely, I think it's great that you've done this
to help women and not have to go through the
the journey that you had to go through to find it, right,
and thank you.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
For sharing that.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
And it's get Ladywell dot com is the website. It's
pretty much fully comprehensive. Do you want to talk a
little bit about your website.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Yeah, So we really look to serve women where they're
at in their journey through life. So we have supplements
for our daily Hormone Balance is really our hero supplements,
the first one we launched with, and it really is
great for all women at all stages from you know,
period years through all the way to menopause. It has
it's really, I guess I said literally holistically formulated. So
(06:24):
we bring adaptagens, functional mushrooms, amino acids, vitamins into one
formula and they are all things that help with women's health,
whether it be your mood, your cycle regulation, painful periods, sleep, stress.
Stress is a huge piece of hormone care. We're all
stressed out in this world, and stress is horrible for
your hormones. So managing your stress and adding adaptogence to
(06:48):
your diet, will you really do wonders with your hormones
in the end. So we literally just look at hormone
care from a lot of different angles. And then we
have fertility supplements, so women who are trying to conceive,
we have a fertility a health.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
So we definitely.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Recommend that if you want to have a baby now
or in like a year or two, you should start
planning ahead and getting your body prepped for that.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Because it was kind of like me, like.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
All of a sudden, I want to have a kid,
and but my hormones were a mess, and like my
foundational health wasn't there, So it made it really hard
to get pregnant. And even if I wanted to do IVF, Like,
if you do IVF and you don't have balanced hormones,
you're you're setting yourself up to be behind.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Right, the IVF might not work.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
You just wasted thirty thousand dollars, right, So you really
want to make sure that your health and your hormones
are in order before like a while before we start
to conceive.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
So I recommend taking like.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Ferlatility and egg health and a prenatal about a year
in advance, just to get those nutrients stores up and
making sure that you're having the highest quality genetic material
for creation because it takes at an egg maturation cycles
in about ninety days, so you want to think before
that time, right, And then we have things for perimenopause.
We're coming out of perimenopause specific supplement this summer or
(07:58):
maybe the springs in the works right now.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
The daily hormone balance is also great for perry.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
So really just you know, treating women with all these
struggles that we go through and perry is a big
problem in our society, and we're wholly ignored it.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Perimenopause and menopause itself. We've ignored all these symptoms.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
And it really can get in the way of women
living their best lives because there's like upwards of one
hundred symptoms that can happen, and commonly like brain fogs,
sleep issues, weight gain. I mean, obviously the regular periers
because your periods are going to be changing. But those
are so many things that really can get in the
way of you accomplishing just daily tasks and frustrating.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, and like you said, affecting your relationships, you know, yes,
that's if.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
You're having a mood swimming, like you become a different person.
And you know, a lot of women in midlife are parents.
We have people are having kids later too, so.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Your hormones are I mean, you might be going.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Through perimenopause while you have young kids, and that's just
an extra hard because the stress of having young kids
and then the stress of perimenopause, it's all all kind
of layered on itself, so it's hard to unwrap.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
And but to be a better parent.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
I think that the foundation if you can get your
hormones in order, you can kind of avoid the things,
the mood swings that will happen and the mom rage
and the quick to anger, you'd be in a better
place to just like take on the stresses and you know,
go on that rollercoaster ride in a happy mood and
not like just like stressed out mode.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
There was an article you had posted on your website.
I kind of scrolled down to look at some of
the resources you had available, and one of them was
the multiple Symptoms of perimenopause, and the number to me
was staggering. Thirty four. Yes, thirty four, right, and I
(09:49):
mean obviously not nobody's the same. We've talked about that
everyone's going to have different, you know, different symptoms, and
it's just and you're no, I hope to god nobody
has all thirty four. It's not likely, I'm sure, but
some of them were actually eye opening to me. I
didn't even think about it, and it kind of I
(10:11):
was like, oh, I that could be why my allergies
are worse than they used to be, you know. And
I have friends who have said I never had allergies before,
and now I'm getting these like hay fever type another one, right, right.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I've never had allergies and growing up in the same place,
you know, my intention.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Like you most Yeah, yeah, it could be a hormonal thing.
Another one that I didn't even realize irregular heartbeat. That's scary.
That probably kind of goes in line too with the
anxiety of it, you know.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yeah, I've heard of that for menopause as well, so.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, breathing difficulties, dry eyes, and ear ringing. Ear ringing
was interesting to me. But dry eyes, I never ever
ever had an issue with that until I hit perimenopause,
and I never would have linked the two ever. I
thought it was just because my allergies are getting.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Worse sometimes feel so like disconnected from hormones. And it's
not about your period, about your fertility. So we don't
put them together because we're just never educated on.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
This stuff, right, and so we just don't know like
if we have dis and vertigo, like, oh that's my mormones.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
You don't put pieces together really easily.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Right, Yeah, absolutely, yeah, it really, Like I said, it
was very eye opening to me, and I thought, you know,
a lot of the things that I'm experiencing that I
never really have before could be attributed to that in
some way. Not always, but it's it was interesting to me.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah, And right now I think we've never had these
clinical studies like we're being able to receive today, right
to identify and come up with products.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah, because they're finally saying, oh we should research this
whole menopause thing. Really, thank you, people need this right weird?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, yeah, on your website as far as somebody ordering,
because we did talk about the fact that you know,
not everyone is the same. How have the products? How
does someone go to your website and.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Know what to buy?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Know what to buy?
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Well, yeah, I tried to really simplify it by creating
formulas that do a lot. So look at your like
your brain health, your stress levels, your estrogen levels, like
the look at it from a holistic point of view
and a really wide lens instead of being.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Specific, so you won't have to like piece together like oh,
I'm gonna get chess berry because I know it's good
for this.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
And then like a sleep one, we are going to
have like sleep supplements and other ones that you can
layer on top if you feel like you need extra
in that one area. But we want to create a
foundational supplement that will help will be brought up enough
to help you at least like on like a level
for all these different things. So most women will use
(13:07):
our daily hormone balance because that's like the all in one,
I'd say catch all for hormonal health. Like once again,
it has like the different aspects and herbs and mushrooms
and adaptogens and vitamins, so it really treats women on
a broad scale. And then if you have perimenopause, we'll
have our perimenopause one, which, like, as you said, there's
(13:28):
so many symptoms of perimenopause, you just will layer that
one on top and that will just kind of give
you the extra boost with more like the hot flashes.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
And the mood.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Really okay, so you can take those together, yes, exactly,
you'll layer those.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Yeah, And I would say with supplements, it's you always
want to add something to your diet, give it three
months to see how it affects in your body, how
it's working for you. You can't just take something for
one month and be like, Okay, well that you got
to give your time, but didn't take a really long
time to get your body a really long time, meaning
(14:03):
I would say three months.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
I guess we'll start working immediately.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Like different symptoms have different timelines, So bloating, for example,
like you should feel relief and bloating fairly quickly within
your first cycle.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Maybe I'll have some mood changes.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
So yeah, with any supplement, not just lady, well, but
you want to start putting that in your diet and
letting it work its magic for three months and then reassessed.
Maybe a lot of your symptoms went away, but you
still have this like inability to sleep at night. Then
you can layer in a sleep supplement. Right, So you
want to just kind of start step by step and
see what you need after you have a basic foundational level.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Wow, that's amazing. I like that.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
And you do offer some bundles as well. Oh yeah,
the products. Right, So you've actually done a lot of
the thinking for us and knowing what we need before
we know what we.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Need, so it's not just all all a caart. Yeah,
like I'll pick this, I'll pick this up.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yeah, And Magnis I'm a a great one. We have
magnesium and most women are deficient and magnetium. I love magnesium. Yeah,
we can get magnesium through a diet, but most of
us don't get enough of it. And it totally helps
with sleep, hormone balance, cramps, body pain.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
It kind of solves a lot of different things.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I recommend that we all take my museum ours is
a magnesium spray which is really great. So we pore,
you go to bed, you can spray on the soles
of your feet and your legs and it helps you,
you know, float away into nice dreamland.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Yeah, those stressful thoughts.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I love the topical.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
I used to take the powder versions, and I just
realized that, like you had to mixing so much water,
and I just woke up to peace so.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Much time, so many times during the night.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
And it was also just kind of hard to stay
on that rhythm of mixing in my water. I was
less likely to take it when it was powder than
I was just spray on my feet, which was really
easy and kind of I felt like self care more so.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I was thinking the same thing.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
And a lot of your products you offer the powder
and capsule versions, so I would be more of a
capsule I take help.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, but I like the idea of the spray to
do that at night. I love that is it is
there a scent to it?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Scentless?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
I believe with hormone care and women's health in general,
a lot of sense come with endocrine disruptors and them.
It's really hard to just find, you know, things in
this world that don't have toxins, and it's unnecessary.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Then I don't want to add it in there.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I love that my daughter.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
I don't want to be counterproductive to the health.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah, my daughter has very sensitive skin and we have
just gone through such a tough time figuring out what
she can use, what she can't use. You know, what
ingredients we need to look for that will irritate her skin,
and and a lot of it she can't use. Fragrance,
you know it.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Just artificial fragrances are very bad for your health, so
you should avoid those as much as possible.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah, And I also love the fact that you offer
prenatal vitamins because I remember my children are all adults now,
but I remember never feeling more healthy than I was
when I was pregnant and always attributed that to taking.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
The prenatal vitamins.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Probably right, but for the most part, those were prescribed
or only available to you back then when you were pregnant, right,
you know you're obgui n So I really like the
fact that they're available for those as you mentioned, that
are planning to have children preparing their bodies.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
So it should definitely take a foreign advance before you
try to have kids during a pregnancy of horrors and
then postpartum, because we're so depleted postpartum.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Things are being sucked out of our bodies still, and
it's hard to get those stories back out.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
So I still continue to take prenatals even though I
have a baby who's eighteen months now, but they're superior
to regular vitamins.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah, I think I would have continued to take them
as long as I could.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Back in the day if they were available. So yeah,
that's great.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
And the fertility, I feel for some reason that more
people are struggling with infertility these days.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I know, you know, maybe.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
More than a handful of people that have used fertility
in order to conceive, So I think it's brilliant that
you're incorporating that into your product line as well.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I think it's about one in six couples worldwide that
experience infertility at some point in their journey.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
And then there's secondary infertility, which I see.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Happening a lot around me because my friends at a
stage where we're having second kids and they can't get
pregnant with their second kids. And then the stats on
that is about eleven percent of women experience secondary infertility,
So it's yeah, we're all once again having kids later
in life, so it makes it a little bit harder
to have kids easy. And then our diets, our lifestyle,
our environment, these endocrine disruptors that are everywhere that we
(18:54):
can't avoid, the plastics, they're all really negatively impacting our fertility.
And then you know, our lifestyle practice is like not
getting enough sleep stress. I saw a study that said
nurses had much higher level of infertility because they worked
the night shift, so they're start cuting and rhythm was off,
and it just shows you that's how important sleep is
(19:16):
for your health and your hormones and your fertility.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
And there's probably not a lot I may be wrong
because obviously I'm not looking for it, but there's probably
not a lot of products out there that help with
infertility outside of prescription or from you know positions, right.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Yeah, that's it's also that's the problem.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
There's not a lot of support because if you go
to your doctor, they'll be like, Okay, well have you
been trying for six months?
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Go get IVF righting. And unless you're seeing.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
A naturopathic doctor without specializing sub fertility that will do
tests on you and try to uncover the root, cause
you're kind of in this medical system where it's like
we're band aid solutions, Okay, IVF try to force it
out of you. Right, But you know a great solution
is to start trying once again balance you hormones, taking
care of your health, these fertilities something months like.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
That's the first step, I would say.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
And then if you're having this, really struggling for a
year or more and you want to look at do
I have an underlying infection my vitamin D deficient? Because
just those little things like europlasma, just these little things
can make it so you're not getting pregnant.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
And they're easily fixed. Right with the europausa.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
You can take an animbiotics and then it's gone, biamin D, take.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
More vitamin D, right, and then you can get pregnant.
So you might not need an IBF. But yeah, our.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
System isn't necessarily set up to give us that help
we need.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Wow, Right until now, Yeah, until now, And thank goodness
for people like you that are making these products available,
right yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yeah, and all the way from PMS to menopause, right,
because we've talked.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
About it puberty, yeah, all the way to the end.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
Right, all of the.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Hormonal changes that women go through in their life cycle.
It's not just menopause. It starts way way earlier than.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
That, and yeah, and we I mean not to knock
on men. We try to include them because I know
they go through their own midlife and hormonal things. But
you know, they have a really a lot easier than
we do. They just do, yeah, they do.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
They're simpler forms are simpler, so yeah, easier for them.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
And you have a lot.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Of additional information and products on your website, like your
inflow planner that also will help those that are.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Trying to conceive.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Right.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
So, I've never been one to track.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
My own so I always tried, but it was never
It's like, oh, here we go again, this just happened
two weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Recycle is like the most important thing you can do
for your health, especially even trying to conceive it right,
you know, and you're ovulating to be in that.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Wa right right.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
But also people that have PMDD, so maybe your daughter
would be really helpful for hers are tracking new recycles,
so you know, and you should track her cycle.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
So you should know where she's at as well, and
then you can you know, helps relationships when we're all
aware of the.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Hormonal the time of the month.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Fluctuations will Yeah. So I thought I'm gonna be a
mooting next week.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
I'd rather have that knowledge and have like be softer
on myself, playing around my my moodiness or how my
husband knows, so we can avoid a fight.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Right, Yes, you're absolutely right, and I've been trying to
track it.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I'm not I haven't been doing a good job, but
I asked the questions, oh, you know, are you on
your period right now? And she's are you ready to start?
And she's like, no, I'm on, I started two days
ago or something like that. And You're like, life that
I need to be marking this down because I now
only probably because I'm more mature. Try to stay in
(22:48):
tune with my body and my hormones and figure out
what things are connected with what, right, so I can
understand it and you know, overcome it eventually, I guess
would be the ultimate goal. But with her, she doesn't
connect the dots. Try to help educate her, you.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Know, very sensitively, right.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Very sensitively?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
How much that has to do with the emotional swings
that she has throughout the month?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Right, and poor thing?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, putting all that back, righting it all back into one.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
But yeah, I really appreciate that you have those products.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
What would you say is your favorite product of all
the ones that you have available.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
I think the daily hormone balance is amazing.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
That's the one that you know, really changed my life
and helps me just feel sane when.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
You know he's my hormones in line.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
As a mom of two young kids, things are really stressful.
Sleep is hard, it's hard to say balanced, and it's
like I need hacks, like mom hacks. So like having
balanced hormones really helped me manage by mood because I
think mood is really important, especially for me who used
to have comunity. Like if I if I'm not in
a happy place, then it makes it harder to be
(24:08):
a really good parent. And when I was a postpartum
your postpartum roller poster, it can be intense for a lot.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Of women, and I was, you know, geared up.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I had my daily hormone balance, Like I knew what
to expect with my hormonal how I was going to fluctuate,
and so I didn't have any of those blues.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Like I really managed my hormones. I was able to
come out of pregnancy in a really great light.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
And I was going to mention that as well about
postpartum my guesses is that they would be these hormones
and supplements would be very good for those that are
suffering from postpartum because I also think that that has
become now the forefront of conversations.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, I think, you know, it probably was still happening
a lot, but it wasn't talked about a lot, which
is again like we experienced with menopause too. It's just
something that was, you know, happening, but nobody was talking
about it. And I know, like I mean, years and
years ago, there was a woman that like actually took
(25:09):
her children's lives. It was so bad and she wasn't
being treated and she was in such a dark place.
And I remember when she went on trial hearing about
what it was, and I was like, oh my gosh,
that is terrible this and she felt terrible about what
she did. She literally was just like I don't even
want to be here anymore. I can't believe what happened.
(25:30):
I can't believe the place I was in. And obviously
it's not that extreme for everyone. Even if it's just
you know a little bit of depression or blues, it
still needs to be treated. You know, these people need help.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
