Thank you Hazel for gathering so many stats and facts/figures which I appreciate are difficult to find for women.

I also found it a bit shorter than I was expecting, but not sure if that’s down to Kindle saying 30% but it was all appendix.

Similarly, across the menstrual cycle, women have different calorie, nutrient needs, and food cravings due to fluctuations in sex hormones. However I felt like it wasn’t detailed enough for me - probably because I didn’t start a with zero knowledge on the different topics. I think there are alot of women out there who still haven’t heard about this disease and think that how they are suffering is still very normal because after visiting 9 doctors the 10th doctor tells them exactly the same that it’s just part of being a woman.
