Today, in the Scheer Madness Podcast, Dr. Stephanie Estima joins Rachel to talk about the menstrual cycle and how women can optimize their body’s health. She explains how a woman’s body differs from men and its reaction to different types of food diet. She also covered what happens to the body during the menstrual cycle, how effective diet cycling is, the benefits of working with your body instead of against it, and why women need to naturally increase their metabolic rate.

Dr. Estima is a doctor of chiropractic with a special interest in metabolism, body composition, functional neurology, and female physiology. She’s been featured on Thrive Global, of the Huffington Post and has helped thousands of women lose weight, regulate hormones, and get off medications with her signature program, The Estima Diet. You can hear her every week on her podcast, Better! With Dr. Stephanie.
