Health & Fitness


In this heartfelt episode of the Women Wellness First Podcast, host Navyasara sits with her mother, Pooja Jaiswal — Integrative Nutritionist & Women’s Hormonal Health Expert, for a warm and open conversation about periods, hormones and the emotional side of growing up with little guidance. It isn’t a lecture — it’s the honest chat girls should’ve had long before adulthood.


In this episode, they talk about:

- Why do so many girls have painful periods and don’t know what’s normal?

- How moods, PMS and emotional changes can shift across the menstrual cycle.

- How stress, sleep and daily habits may influence period pain and mood swings.

- Why women often overlook early signs of hormonal imbalance.

- How periods can affect emotional wellbeing and why no one talks about it.

- How open conversations can help women feel more confident about their cycle.


This episode isn’t about telling women what’s right or wrong — it’s simply about giving space to feelings and questions that were never spoken out loud. Whether you’re a teen, a mother, or someone reconnecting with your body after years of confusion, this conversation may bring comfort, clarity and a sense of relief.
