Welcome, friend, to Create the Space with Cody Maher. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your cycle, confused by hormones, frustrated by symptoms you were told were just normal, or overwhelmed by all the information in the wellness world, this episode is just for you. Today’s conversation is with Dr. Ellora of Lady Time Learning, a chiropractor and Certified Fertility Awareness Educator who helps women understand their bodies so they can make informed health decisions. Get ready for an honest, practical conversation about body literacy, fertility, self advocacy, and learning to trust the information your body has been giving you all along. This is your invitation to get curious about your cycle, understand your physiology more deeply, and create the space to make health decisions from a place of education, awareness, and empowered choice. You’ll hear real talk about menstrual cycles, fertility awareness, hormone free birth control, conception, PMS, ovulation, and what our bodies may actually be communicating through the symptoms we experience each month. Ellora shares why so many women grow up without understanding how their cycles work, and how learning about drug induced nutritional depletions during graduate school completely changed the way she thought about birth control, medication, informed consent, and women’s health. The conversation breaks down what is actually happening throughout the menstrual cycle, including the follicular and luteal phases, estrogen, progesterone, ovulation, and why your period is only one piece of a much bigger hormonal picture. Cody and Ellora also get into cycle tracking, LH testing, anovulatory cycles, fertility challenges, blood sugar, stress, digestion, and why learning your own patterns can offer valuable insight into what is happening inside your body. If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a cabinet full of supplements, tracking every possible health metric, or wondering which wellness trend you should try next, you’ll find plenty of relief here. Ellora brings the conversation back to the basics, including fats, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, regular meals, movement, stress support, and understanding what your individual body actually needs before reaching for another complicated solution.
