Why does broccoli makes my mouth itch??
“Mom can you please not put raw broccoli on the salad? It makes my mouth itch.” My daughter said to me one evening when she saw me making a salad for dinner. I needed to go to the grocery store so I was tossing little bits of everything I had on the salad hoping it […]
But WHY do I need progesterone?
Ovarian cysts. Estrogen dominance. PMS. Post partum depression. Brown bleeding at the tail end of the cycle. Clotting during the menstrual flow. PMD. Infertility. Short luteal phase. PCOS.

They may have been […]

Abnormal bleeding? Absolutely, yes! I have witnessed it happen when young girls learn about their cycles and understand what is going on throughout the month that a […]

Scrap Booking Your Cycle: What I Needed to Know
Hey everyone! It’s Kelsey again, here to talk about how living out the Creighton Model includes a little something I call “cycle scrapbooking.” (If you haven’t read about how I got started on my Creighton journey, be sure to check it out here.)
