The week before your period runs everything — your energy, your patience, whether you like anyone that day. Here, we read what your bloodwork and your cycle have been trying to tell you, and hand you a plan that actually fits the pattern.
Your cycle is so much more than your period — it's a monthly readout for your whole body. Even if you don't think you have "period problems," it has something to tell us.
You've googled it at 6am. Cut the dairy. Bought the seed-cycling kit a girl on TikTok swore by.
You've marked yourself "sick" for a day when really your uterus just declared war on the morning.
You've apologized for something you said the week before your period — and meant the apology and the thing you said.
You've wondered, out loud, whether you're just kind of a mean person for five days a month.
You've watched the week before your period dictate the entire rest of the month — the food, the mood, the fights, the flat afternoons.
And every plan you tried treated your cycle like it runs on the same schedule as everyone else's. It doesn't.
None of it stuck — because you were handed pieces. Never the whole pattern.
And you're feeling all of it while —caffeinating your way through your kid's birthday party, making sure everyone around you has what they need, craving the alone time to "recharge" that never actually comes. Pushing through work, decompressing in the carline, still trying to hit your goals and break the cycles you don't want to pass down.You hold so much for everyone else. Let's finally look at what your body's been carrying, too.
And whatever your cycle is doing right now — regular, all over the place, post-pill, or gone quiet in perimenopause — it's still telling us something. Your period and your labs are two of the clearest windows into what's really going on. Let's look through them together.
If your body's been doing any of these, you're exactly who this is for.
Keep seeing your doctor — I'm not here to replace them. I'm here for the layer they often don't have time for.
I read women's bloodwork to understand their hormones, cycles, gut, and the systems underneath. Your period gives me a monthly readout, and your labs fill in the rest of the story — what your progesterone, thyroid, iron, blood sugar, and inflammation are actually doing.
I know the other systems well, and I use them — but I'm not the practitioner who hands every woman the same generic protocol. Yours is built from your results, for your pattern.
A standard panel checks whether you're sick. I read whether you're optimal — and if something belongs with your physician, I'll always tell you.
Feeling like yourself again comes from three things working together. Most women have only ever tried one.
Your period pulls from your blood sugar, thyroid, iron, stress load, and progesterone — a whole orchestra, not a single note. Most women get a handful of markers checked and a quick "looks good." We run the panel that reads it all as one story, in your luteal phase, when your hormones actually have something to say.
Once we can see the pattern, your plate finally has a job: steady blood sugar, replace the minerals a heavy flow quietly drains, support progesterone in the back half of your cycle. Real food, mapped to your panel — specific to you, not to the internet at 11pm.
Periods take at least three cycles to shift, so your protocol runs across twelve weeks. Your first four weeks are Foundations — an anti-inflammatory reset that clears the common triggers quietly stirring up your cycle, so we're building on calm ground. Weeks five through twelve follow your personalized plan built from your labs — support, build, then hold — with supplements prioritized so you know exactly where to start if money's tight, and your labs re-read at the end so you can see what actually moved. (Every supplement suggestion is meant to be run past your own provider.)
Most women have tried one of these three — usually the plate, guessed at from a reel. One piece, on its own, is why nothing's held. You get all three, read together, in your handwriting.
Two steps: I find the patterns, then you rebuild the ground they grew in — with the CLEAR drainage protocol built into your Foundations reset.
This is where I come in. Your comprehensive panel — drawn at your local Quest, included — gets read through my six signature Dimmers: the bloodwork patterns that quietly drive your PMS, cramps, hormone symptoms, and the length of your cycle. When you see yours named on paper, the lost years of periods suddenly make sense.
Drainage first, foundations always. Before your 8-week protocol begins, you'll move through the 28-Day Foundations Reset inside The Cycle Lab — the habit side almost everyone skips. Built into it is your CLEAR protocol: supporting the pathways your body uses to clear what's weighing it down — including the estrogen it's finished with — before we ask it to do anything else. It's fully guided and self-paced, so you can do it on your own time. That's where we start.
Six patterns I look for in every panel. Most women with rough periods are running two or three at once — and have been told each one separately looked fine.

Real messages from women inside the work.
My energy has had an amazing shift and I had my first period — I was shocked. Barely any cramps and I wasn't changing my tampon/pad combo every hour. No PMS, no cravings. 20 years of pain, crying, and bleeding through my clothes, and you fixed it in less than a week with your program. I didn't know it could be this good.
— Her + Well clientSince I was a kid I lived in a world of extremes — either bingeing or dieting — which completely twisted how I saw food. Coming into my 30s I knew it was time to change, but had no idea where to start. Dr. Monique has completely changed how I view food, and my life is so much better because of her. Her knowledge of food, hormones, and nutrition is unmatched — looped in with genuine compassion and a real desire to know me.
— Her + Well clientI am so glad I did this. It truly confirms what I felt wasn't all in my head. So much valuable insight, and I'm really excited to dive into the reset. Thank you so much, Dr. M!
— Her + Well clientNot a quick fix that fades by next month. A real read of your body, a plan that fits your pattern, and the kind of steady that lets you feel like yourself again.
I went deep into functional blood chemistry and integrative nutrition because I kept meeting women who'd been told everything looked "normal" — while their periods, their energy, and their moods told a different story.
I love the data and I know how to hand it back to you gently, in plain language — no talking down, no scary printouts, no guessing. Think of me as the girlfriend who happens to have a doctorate and reads bloodwork for a living.
You deserve to understand your own body. Let's find out what it's been trying to tell you.
Never — and I'll say that plainly. Keep seeing your physician; their job is to catch and treat disease. Mine is to read your labs through a functional lens and build you a nutrition and lifestyle plan. Two lenses, both worth having. If something belongs with a doctor, I'll tell you.
Sometimes we can work from recent labs, sometimes a fresh functional panel tells us more. We'll sort that out in your intake so you're never paying for tests you don't need.
At-home kits give you numbers with no one to read them. The value here isn't the draw — it's a practitioner reading your full picture with you and telling you what it means and what to do. That's the part that actually changes how you feel.
At a Quest facility near you, in your own state. (Not available in NY, NJ, or RI yet.) I'll tell you exactly when in your cycle to go.

Real bloodwork, read by me, with a plan made for your body — and support while you find your footing.
Reset Your Cycle — $657If you've already had bloodwork done — functional or conventional — and you just want a second set of eyes to make sense of it, this is your starting point.
You send me your results and your story, and I read them through a functional, systems lens — connecting the dots between your symptoms and your data, and naming the pattern you've been feeling but couldn't put words to.
