How to have a better period

If you feel moody before your period or experience a painful or heavy flow, there are practical things you can do, according to women’s health expert Le’Nise Brothers.

Brothers offers tips as well as natural remedies and solutions for common conditions and complaints around the menstrual cycle in her new book You Can Have A Better Period, which will be released on 8 March.

This International Women’s Day, the yoga teacher and registered nutritionist, specialising in hormones and the menstrual cycle, will be on hand to answer questions on all things period-related between 2pm and 3pm during an ‘Ask Me Anything’ event.

She’s also taking part in our IWD expert panel - Exploring the gender health gap - from 1pm to 2pm.
