Hormones arenāt just about periods. Theyāre the messengers running your whole body, your moods, your skin, your metabolism, your sleep, even your sex drive.
So, why werenāt we taught this? Because for too long women were told to ājust deal with it.ā
At Jooce, we call BS on that. Itās time to meet the hormones quietly running the show that is the female body and learn how to support them, naturally.
