007: Dr. Miranda Naylor sheds light on the ways to support those of us who have periods, go through pregnancy, and postpartum from a functional medicine perspective. Since our hormonal health is indicative of our overall health, it's so important to pay attention to what that looks like! We got into some of Dr. Miranda's personal journey from conventional medicine to a more holistic approach when her period went missing - and how she got it back (with 2 pregnancies since!).
