Hormone Goddess: How to live in harmony with your cycle

Hormone Goddess is the definitive guide to understanding – and supporting – the female hormone cycle. Written by Samantha Hadadi – @the_hormone_goddess on Instagram – it explores the four stages of the female hormone cycle, and shares how to embrace each stage and work with, not against, the hormonal changes that occur naturally, celebrating it for the power it has in connecting women to, and rooting them in, the natural world. The Hormone Goddess wants to help women to feel empowered and enchanted by this connection to the rhythm of their bodies, and not ashamed, frightened, or even just annoyed by it.

The messaging around periods and female hormones can often be quite negative – they are something to be “managed”, denied or hidden, making this natural process seem like another burden women have to bear. While a lot of work has been done in the last few years to destigmatize periods, many women still have huge gaps in their knowledge of how their own bodies work. Hormone Goddess fills those gaps.

In Hormone Goddess the negative narrative is swept away as the magic of the menstrual cycle, and how understanding and working with it can make life easier, takes centre stage. Following the hormone cycle through a month, the power of each stage is covered, as well as tips and recipes for self care in that stage. Incredibly supportive, the magic of the human body is explored in all its majesty, as the ways we can embrace the female hormone cycle are celebrated.
