PCOS SOS Summit

<h6>Felice Gersh, MD</h6>
Hi. Welcome to this episode of the PCOS Summit. I am your host, Dr. Felice Gersh. I am here today with renowned hormone expert and naturopathic Dr. Lara Briden. Thank you so much, Laura, for joining me. You have over 25 years of experience. You have written two bestsellers, the Hormone Repair Manual and the Period Repair Manual, which I have read and loved. 

I know that understanding menstrual cycles is such a key part of what you explain to your audience or your readers, and when you give lectures and all the different things that you are doing, I know you are involved in so many different advisory boards, and I hope you will share that with us. I want to delve a lot into what a menstrual period is. We talk about them all the time, and many people don't understand their importance or what is going on in a menstrual cycle. But first, I had you tell us about your journey and your involvement in women's reproductive health
