Sleep & Perimenopause: Insomnia, Night Waking, Pelvic Floor Tips + Bedtime Routine | Period Coaching
In this Period Besties episode, the hosts discuss how common sleep disruption is in perimenopause, sharing personal experiences with insomnia, middle-of-the-night energy, and persistent fatigue/brain fog even after long sleep.
They explore practical strategies they use and recommend through period coaching, including earlier screen cutoffs and night-shift settings, red bedroom lighting, reducing liquids before bed, limiting alcohol and caffeine, and using paper journaling to calm a racing mind. They also highlight how habitual nighttime bathroom trips can become learned over time and suggest pelvic floor physical therapy and bladder retraining.
The conversation covers supplements and supports they’ve tried—magnesium glycinate, valerian root, CBD/CBN drops, progesterone cycling, and slow-release melatonin—plus prescription gabapentin as a temporary aid, emphasizing “radical self-care” and doing whatever works to protect sleep during perimenopause.

Fibroids 101: Surgery & Natural Support, Estrogen Reduction, Fiber, and Yoni Steaming | Period Besties Podcast
On the Period Besties podcast, hosts discuss a listener question from a woman of color about fibroids, options to reduce them, and alternatives to surgery. They explain that surgery can sometimes be the best first step for relief from heavy bleeding, cramping, anemia, fatigue, and pelvic pain/pressure, and emphasize surgery is not a failure—especially before making diet and lifestyle changes to reduce regrowth.
They share risk statistics by race/ethnicity, discuss estrogen dominance as a key factor, and recommend strategies to support estrogen clearance and liver health: increasing fiber (including a daily raw carrot), eating cruciferous vegetables, adding healthy fats, reducing alcohol and caffeine, minimizing toxins (fragrance products, plastics), and cutting back on soda/junk foods.
They also describe yoni steaming practices and cautions around herbs and essential oils, and invite listeners to share updates and questions.

Meridian Testing, Detox Layers & Women’s Health (PMS, Fertility, Perimenopause) | Period Besties Podcast
In this Period Besties podcast episode, Katie and Stasha interview a New York City practitioner, Nicole Glassman about her approach to restoring balance by meeting clients where they are and creating incremental, sustainable health changes. She explains bioenergetic meridian testing (a pen-like device used on hand and foot acupuncture points connected to a computer) to assess inflammation and whether the body is managing it, then uses that data to explore root causes such as pesticides, allergies, heavy metals, parasites, Candida, food sensitivities, and vitamin/mineral deficiencies.
The conversation covers layered detox protocols designed to avoid strong detox reactions by first opening pathways (gut motility, liver, lymph, kidneys), supporting adrenals, and using tools like probiotics, digestive enzymes, gut lining repair, drainage remedies, herbs, and homeopathics.
They discuss how gut, thyroid, adrenal stress, and toxins can drive hormonal imbalance and affect menstrual cycles, fertility, painful periods, and libido, as well as how organ/meridian timing may relate to symptoms like afternoon slumps and waking at consistent times overnight.
The episode includes perimenopause and menopause support (hot flashes, irritability, weight and fluid changes), with mentions of specific supplements and herbs (including chaste tree and dong quai), castor oil packs, lymphatic movement tools, and working alongside progesterone or bioidentical hormones when clients are already using them.
She outlines her own self-care practices (yoga, sauna, time in nature/water, supplements, massage, reducing phone use), her interest in building community and supporting caregivers, and how to find her at mindfulhealth.biz and @mindfulhealthnyc, including virtual options, customized lake-house retreats, and a 10% discount on an initial service for listeners, followed by a lightning round about her preferences and routines.
Nicole has offered all Period Besties listeners $100 off of their first session of the total reset or nervous system reset. More information here: https://mindfulhealth.biz/nervous-system-reset

Oxalates, Gut Health & Vulvodynia: Dr. Kristen Reihman on SIBO, Parasite Cleanses, and Recurrent UTIs On the Period Besties podcast, hosts interview Dr. Kristen Reihman, a Period Coaching School teacher and gut health specialist, about a severe episode she links to oxalate dumping syndrome, describing three weeks of intense pelvic/vulvar pain that felt like “shards of glass” and how it deepened her understanding of vulvodynia.
She explains oxalates as plant compounds the body can only process up to roughly 100–150 mg per day, how excess may be stored as crystals in tissues, and why abruptly eliminating high-oxalate foods can trigger “dumping.” High-oxalate foods discussed include spinach, chard, beet greens, beets, nuts and seeds, beans, sweet potatoes, and unripe avocado; she notes kale is disputed across lists and cites Sally K. Norton’s beginner guide as a resource, and names lower-oxalate seeds as pumpkin, sunflower, watermelon, and flax.
The conversation covers New Year gut reset strategies, including a 21-day comprehensive elimination diet (removing common triggers such as gluten, dairy, soy, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, and seed/vegetable oils), with advice to start in the follicular phase; they discuss the gut–brain/mood connection, sleep, boundaries, and light therapy.
Dr. Reihman also reviews deeper gut issues like SIBO (breath testing; bloating, gas, undigested food) and talks about parasites and yeast overgrowth, describing common herbal approaches (wormwood, cloves, black walnut, neem, mimosa pudica, cascara sagrada), traditional deworming frequency, full/new moon symptom patterns, dosing considerations for kids, a seizure-related caution, and using enemas during cleanses.
They address the gut–vagina–bladder “trinity,” how lactobacilli and vaginal pH protect against BV/yeast and UTIs, why perimenopause/menopause raises UTI risk, how vaginal estrogen can help restore a supportive environment, and why standard urine tests can miss bladder biofilm infections; Dr. Reihman mentions using lumbrokinase to disrupt biofilm and MicroGen Diagnostics PCR testing to identify many organisms and resistance genes.
She shares personal daily non-negotiables (sleep, swimming/exercise, avoiding gluten, prioritizing clean animal products), where to find her online (kristenrhimenmd.com and Instagram), her coaching programs and elimination diet course, and offers her ebook “Life After Lyme: Revive Your Inner Rockstar and Achieve a Full Recovery.”
Dr. Kristin Reihman is a physician, a mother, and the author of Life After Lyme, a comprehensive DIY manual to making a complete recovery from an all-too-common illness. Having recovered herself from a debilitating case of Lyme over a decade ago, Dr. Reihman knows all too well what it is to live with a body that feels like it's falling apart, a brain that has forgotten how to do simple math, and the fear that you're going to die from an illness that is invisible to most people. She also knows how to make a complete recovery, and has done that for herself. Now, she is on a mission to help as many people as possible recover their own most vibrant versions of themselves, and get back to living their amazing lives. She shares her favorite tools, practices, and mindset shifts for whole-person healing and wellness in her book, on weekly episodes of her Healing Grove Podcast, and in the online communities she cultivates, including the Healing Grove Membership, on Instagram, and in her latest offerings, the Life After Lyme Coaching Program and the Inner Flow Program.
