ABOUT OUR GUEST:
Dr. Sari Eitches is a dual board-certified physician with a focus on holistic and preventative health and women's wellness. She has an award-winning boutique medical practice at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles. She’s also the founder of Lunar Sync, which is the world's first cycle sync supplement with a different formula for each phase of your menstrual cycle.
TOPIC:
There’s a huge trend on social media right now about ditching hormonal birth control, so we wanted to get Dr. Sari’s opinion on the pros and cons of birth control and what to consider before coming off of it. She breaks down the four distinct phases of the menstrual cycle and how to optimize your lifestyle during each stage. Plus, she explains how her supplement line, Lunar Sync, addresses the rhythmic needs throughout the menstrual cycle.
In this episode, we discuss:
How Dr. Sari balances conventional and integrative medicine within her practice
Learning how to advocate for yourself in medical environments
What to consider before going on and coming off of hormonal birth control
Ways to support yourself in the transition off birth control
What cycle syncing is and how it works
The inspiration and science behind Lunar Sync

WRAP UP:
To wrap up the episode, we play Overrated / Underrated. Natalie wishes there was more hype for English afternoon tea because going out to dinner is overrated. And after years of Orangetheory and other HIIT workouts, Corinne is in her strength training era.
