Seeing Red

How to Read Your Cycle, Ease Your Symptoms, and Take Control of Your Destiny - One Period at a Time

De: Kirsten Karchmer

Narrado por: Dara Rosenberg, Kirsten Karchmer - introduction

A world-renowned women’s health expert reveals a bold, practical, and data-driven handbook for menstrual periods that provides an easy-to-navigate road map for improving your reproductive health - and your everyday quality of life.

We’ve been lied to about periods. PMS, cramping, bloating, migraines, irritability, and anxiety may be extremely common, but contrary to popular belief, they aren’t normal. And they certainly aren’t “just part of being a woman”, despite the fact that this is what we’ve been told time and time again - by friends, family, and even doctors. After dedicating her entire clinical career to deconstructing the menstrual cycle, women’s health expert Kirsten Karchmer knows better.

During her more than 20 years of research and treating thousands of patients, Karchmer found that most period problems women experience - even the most painful ones - are totally correctable and more surprisingly reflective of overall health and fertility. In this forthright, spirited, and all-encompassing guide, Karchmer draws on her decades’ worth of experience as a women’s health expert to break down the myths so many women have been led to believe about their periods. For the more than 82 million women in the world who suffer from menstrual conditions, Seeing Red explains the importance of a healthy menstrual cycle (and how to achieve it) and why it is important to the women’s movement. Menstrual cycles are not a curse, but an instrument providing women with one of the most valuable, regularly occurring, and free diagnostic tools they have, giving them access to unprecedented health and power.

Simply the best book out there on your periods

As an acupuncturist who specializes in fertility I can’t wait to recommend this to our clients.
What an important contribution Kirsten Karchmer has made by writing this book and sharing it with the world. My hope is that this book will be shared with millions of women, helping us to have a life with no period pain and live to our fullest potential-what a gift.
Do yourself a favor and listen to this book. It is liberating and empowering.

So happy to have found Kirsten and her work

I finally feel like I am able to be in control of my cycle, as opposed to just suffering for days every month, putting my life on hold. I finally also have someone backing me in my belief that my suffering every month is NOT NORMAL, and that it's not something I have to put up with at all, as opposed to what my well meaning (but slightly ignorant) doctors have said. I'm also super excited about being able to use my menstrual cycle as a tool to bring myself to optimal health in general. Thank you so much, Kirsten!

Amazing read for all people with periods

This book is so incredible informative and eye-opening! I can’t wait to read it again and again

Beautiful. Period.

What a wonderful resource for all women, of all ages, in all stages of life! Thank you!

Author is very angry

I understand that our perspectives are different, and that people have different starting points, which determines that perspective. So, with the creation story being my starting point, and sovereignty of Yahovah, I cannot continue listening to this book. The author seems to be in a vacuum and is subject to no authority, therefore, she makes her own rules and projects ideas based on her own feelings and circumstances. She is very angry and seems to feel victimized by being female. Not the book I thought it would be. Sorry.
