About this episode

Sophie Allen and Izzy Fischer, co-founders of the revolutionary supplement brand Daily Basis, break down how our hormones fluctuate daily and why most wellness products completely ignore this biological reality. 

We dive deep into menstrual health, the flaws in current supplement routines, and the science behind cycle-specific nutrition.

From birth control recovery to postpartum irregularity, we explore how targeted nutrients in specific phases of the cycle can drastically reduce PMS symptoms, balance hormones, and help women reconnect with their bodies.
