Episode 255: Is It Normal To Have Your Period Twice In One Month?
If you’re getting two periods in one month, spotting constantly, or bleeding every couple of weeks and being told birth control is the only solution, this episode is for you. Bleeding twice a month is not random, and it’s not something you have to “just live with.” It’s your body signaling that ovulation, progesterone, stress hormones, minerals, or your thyroid are out of sync. In this episode I’ll break down the real reasons this happens and how to start addressing it at the root.
In this episode I’m sharing:
The difference between true bleeding vs. ovulation spotting, and how to tell which one you’re experiencing
Why bleeding every two weeks often means you’re not ovulating (or your luteal phase is way too short)
How low progesterone causes early, frequent, or breakthrough bleeding
The connection between stress, postpartum, breastfeeding, and perimenopause and irregular cycles
What estrogen dominance actually means and why estrogen can be “normal” but still cause symptoms
How copper imbalance can amplify estrogen and trigger spotting or heavy early bleeding
Why mineral depletion (sodium, potassium, magnesium, and more) disrupts ovulation
How thyroid dysfunction, especially high reverse T3, can shorten cycles and suppress progesterone
Why electrolytes alone don’t fix mineral imbalances
When and why tracking ovulation is the first step to understanding what’s happening
Irregular bleeding isn’t something to cover up, it’s information. This episode will help you understand what your cycle is trying to tell you, why birth control doesn’t correct the underlying issue, and how to start becoming a confident advocate for your hormone health so your cycle can finally regulate again.
