Your Period Is a Vital Sign: What Your Cycle Is Trying to Tell You

Your menstrual cycle isn’t just a reproductive rhythm; it’s a window into your whole-body health. In functional and integrative medicine, your period is considered a vital sign just like blood pressure or pulse.

When your cycle is off, your body is whispering something important. Maybe even screaming.

What a “Healthy” Cycle Actually Looks Like

  • Cycle Length: 24–35 days

  • Bleeding Duration: 3–7 days

  • Flow: Moderate (not flooding pads every hour)

  • Symptoms: Minimal pain, stable mood, no major acne flare

  • Ovulation: Occurs around mid-cycle and is pain-free

When Your Cycle Signals Something Deeper

  • Irregular Periods: May indicate PCOS, thyroid issues, or adrenal fatigue

  • Heavy Bleeding: Can reflect estrogen dominance or fibroids

  • Hormonal Acne or PMS Rage: Often tied to gut health and detox pathways

  • Missing Periods: Linked to stress, under-eating, over-exercising, or perimenopause

At Birdsong, we treat your menstrual health not as a side issue but as central to your wellbeing.

How We Support You at Birdsong

We start with a deep hormonal evaluation, including:

  • Functional labs (thyroid, cortisol, sex hormones, blood sugar)

  • Gut health testing

  • Nutrient panels

  • Cycle mapping tools

From there, we co-create a plan using:

  • Peptide therapy to support ovarian function and pituitary balance

  • IV drips to replenish depleted stores (iron, B vitamins, magnesium)

  • Coaching and lifestyle plans to support nervous system regulation and rhythm restoration

  • Red light + frequency therapy to support endocrine healing

The Sacred Invitation of Your Cycle

Your cycle is not just a medical metric.
It’s a monthly opportunity for self-knowing, for cleansing, for recommitment to rhythm.
When your body sheds, it’s also asking you:

“What am I ready to release?”
“What truth have I been ignoring?”

This is where healing begins || when biology meets embodiment.

Don’t normalize pain, rage, or depletion.
