034: Are Your Periods Heavy? (And What To Do About It)

<p>Are you ready to get in the flow with your flow? <br /> <br /> This episode is dedicated to everything heavy, bloody and flowy... yes. Today on the podcast I'm talking about how you can understand if your period is heavy, what a typical flow should look like, and some options to talk with your medical provider about if you're suffering from a heavy flow. </p> <p>Things we talk about on this episode? <br /> A proper flow should be 6-8tsp of blood<br /> Iron Bisglycinate or Heme-Iron to replenish<br /> Ginger to slow flow<br /> NSAIDs (yup!) to slow flow & help with pain<br /> Tranexamic Acid to slow flow </p> <p>Yes. A combination of conventional and natural is best, especially in this case. </p> <p>----------------------------------</p> <p>This episode is also the fifth episode of our Building A Superwoman Miniseries, sponsored by CanPrev Women.
