Jenna Longoria, “The Period Guru” (@theperiodguru), is
a Board Certified Functional Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P)
passionate about women’s hormonal health.  She is also an
authorised Ashtanga yoga teacher.


Growing up, she struggled with weight gain, painful and irregular
periods, PMS, digestive discomfort, and intense mood swings. At
the time, she didn’t realise that all these symptoms were part of
PCOS and Endometriosis.


The only “solution” doctors gave her was to take the birth
control pill, but she wasn’t keen on the host of horrible side
effects.


Jenna returned to school to study functional medicine,
nutrition, and women’s health. She ran the right labs, changed
her diet and lifestyle to support her body and started taking
targeted supplements.


Today, she’s 20 pounds lighter, has regular periods, and her mood
swings and sugar cravings no longer get the best of her.


Her mission is to empower all women with the knowledge to be
their best health advocates to achieve pain-free periods,
abundant energy, healthy digestion, and optimum fertility.
