About the Film
For too long, period pain and hormonal imbalances have been dismissed as “normal.” This film sets out to challenge that narrative.
After decades of debilitating period pain and a late-stage endometriosis diagnosis, filmmaker Jamie Watkins rejected a life on medication and began a global search for answers. Along the way, she interviewed some of the world’s most inspiring voices in women’s health, wellness, and culture — uncovering a wealth of wisdom and healing practices often left out of modern conversations.
What the Film Reveals

Nutritional and lifestyle tools to balance hormones naturally.
