CYCLE 101: Part 2
The luteal phase — this is where I see most women struggle.

If progesterone is low or estrogen is relatively dominant, you might notice PMS, anxiety, breast tenderness, spotting, short cycles, or heavy and painful periods.

Your cycle can reflects your hormonal imbalance, stress load, blood sugar balance, thyroid function, inflammation, and gut health. It’s all data.

If you’re noticing consistent luteal phase symptoms and want help interpreting what your body might be signaling, we offer complimentary 15-minute consults at STAT Wellness Charleston to talk through next steps.

You don’t have to guess your way through it.

If you missed part one! Make sure to watch!

Women deserve more than fragmented care and rushed appointments.

So instead of working in silos, we’re building relationships — connecting with other women’s health professionals in our community who care deeply about root-cause care, collaboration, and actually listening.

Because when providers work together, women win.

If you’re a provider doing this work — or you know one who is — tag a friend that’s helping raise the standard of care for women in our communities. 🤍

POV: You told multiple patients today not to skip meals…
and then remembered your untouched lunch when it was time to go home.

I’m working on it.
Progress over perfection.
Next up: let’s optimize water I take while we’re at it…

Our patients are the reason this work matters.

If this sounds like you, start here.

You’re “doing it all right” but nothing changes.
You’re exhausted, but your labs are “normal.”
You’ve tried the supplements, the diets, the protocols… and nothing sticks.
You feel rushed, dismissed, or like you’re piecing your health together on your own.

That’s exactly why we offer a free 15-minute consult.

This is a short, no-pressure conversation to help you:
• make sense of your symptoms
• understand what might be driving them
• decide what next steps actually make sense

That first functional medicine appointment changed how I understand my body—and ultimately how I practice medicine.

I know how powerful it is to have space to talk through symptoms, patterns, and questions without being rushed or dismissed. That’s why we offer complimentary 15-minute consults at STAT Wellness Charleston.

It’s a chance to look at your health through a root-cause lens, understand what might be driving your symptoms, and decide what next steps make sense for you.

Sometimes clarity is the first step.

Cycle tracking 101:Part 1
Luteal phase.

The cycle window after ovulation until your next period (usually ~10–14 days)
This is your progesterone phase which helps stabilize mood, supports sleep, preps the uterus for pregnancy, and balances estrogen.

So if you feel like you fall apart every month during this phase… it’s not in your head. It’s your hormones asking for support.

Want help interpreting your cycle or understanding what’s actually going on with your hormones?
