We are joined by Crystal Kennings, a menstrual wellness educator who is passionate about women's health and plant-based nutrition. She is a certified hormone specialist through ITN and currently training to become a menstruality cycle coach.

In this episode we cover:
How she became a menstrual wellness educator
Menstrual health as a sign of overall health
Why you shouldn’t blame a vegan diet for period loss (and what to evaluate if you lose it)

Whether food cravings are normal
