Kymber Maulden joins us on the podcast today. Fertility isn't just for women who want to be mothers, it is a sign of health in menstruating females. Trauma stresses and rapidly oxidizes the body, causing it to need even more nutrients and therefore be in metabolic debt. This draws on resources contributing to low progesterone and elevated testosterone, which may lead to PCOS and infertility. 

Luis and Kymber discuss actionable steps to start healing hormonal health, such as tracking cycles and what to note, glucose tracking, HTMA testing, and a consistent macro nutrient intake which signals the body that it is safe. 

They also talk about the birth control pill, and open sex culture. The open sex culture and sexual revolution are based on a male model of sexuality that requires women to disconnect from their instincts, bypass what actually turns them on, and is often branded as empowered feminism. There is a difference between erotic energy and hypersexuality as a trauma response. 

How can women find balance in their femininity if they are avoiding their instincts?
