Menstrual Cycle — Blog — Thrive Revolution: Dr Emma Ross.

The power of the words we use

Using the right language when we are talking about lots of the topics that are important for female health and performance is so important. Yes, it might be embarrassing at first and you might not know all the right words. But if we don’t try, then we won’t be able to empower and educate girls and women, and they won’t be able to advocate for their own health and wellbeing. It’s time to say it right.

When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

Perspective – if you change your view, it could change your life. So true for many things, and in this blog I talk about how the lens through which we view the menstrual cycle has not always been a positive one. It’s time to tap in to the strengths and powers that the cycle can bring us, and look at it from a different perspective.
