Do you spend money differently in the different phases of the menstrual cycle? It is an interesting thought and discussion that Jamie & Teresa will dive into today on the opening episode of Season Five of The Hormone Genius Podcast! Recently, Jamie was interviewed on a different podcast regarding cycle-synced finances with Amanda Teixera from The Catholic Money show. Jamie had so much fun diving into the discusion and research regarding our behaviors in relationship to spending, and how we choose to give over our dollars. The endocrine system is complex and we already have many studies that discuss how hormones effect human behaviors and responses in the area of stress, human development, social interactions, and even criminal behavior. There is a growing amount of research that also says that hormones effect the way you make financial decisions as well! Welcome to Season 5 and lets get ready to dive into some amazing topics and interviews. We are excited to continue to journey along side of you to help you become the genius of your own hormones!
