Summary
Period Power is a profound but practical blueprint for aligning daily life with the menstrual cycle, to give all menstruators a no-nonsense explanation of what the hell happens to us every month and how we can use each phase to its full advantage.
Ninety per cent of people who have periods experience symptoms of PMS, a syndrome which features a wide range of signs and symptoms, and yet there's an enduring lack of understanding about what it actually is and a disappointingly meagre range of treatment options.
So many of us have a Jekyll and Hyde experience of our lives; we feel on top of the world, capable, confident and sexy for part of each month, then find ourselves in a state of physical and emotional discomfort and fatigue, wanting nothing more than to collapse on the sofa in front of Netflix.
But what if instead of just trying to plan for our dark days, we were equipped with ways to improve them? What if our desire to improve ourselves could be combined with our need to know just what our womb and ovaries are getting up to every month?
Not to mention how to take advantage of the natural superpowers that sit in each phase of our cycle so that we can plan our month to perform at our best.
Maisie Hill is uniquely placed, as an acupuncturist, women's health practitioner and doula, to explain just how we can achieve this as well as focusing on particular milestones that require an altered approach, such as coming off hormonal birth control, infertility, pregnancy, motherhood and the perimenopausal years.
Using what Hill calls 'The Cycle Strategy' - a secret weapon when it comes to improving our relationships, career and health - Hill will give us all the information we need to make sense of our cycles as well as accessible and practical suggestions through which we can improve our physical symptoms and stop berating ourselves because of the way we evolve through each menstrual month.
Maisie Hill explains the Cycle Strategy
In the Cycle Strategy your cycle is divided into the four seasons, each representing a distinct phase in which your hormone levels influence your energy, mood and behaviour. The Cycle Strategy is a flexible framework which allows you to understand and work with your particular experience of your cycle, helping you to use the powers of each season to get what you want out of life, and to make adjustments to improve the darker days.
About the Author
Maisie Hill
Maisie Hill is a highly qualified and sought-after women’s health expert with more than a decade of experience as a practitioner and birth doula. Maisie knows the power of working with the menstrual cycle and believes that are hormones are there to serve us and help us get what we want out of life. Maisie is a go-to authority in the growing trend for women to get a handle on their menstrual cycle and is quoted in publications from The Guardian to Grazia.
Firstly learning about my cycle and all the stages that it goes through was eye-opening on it’s own. But then layering on the language and understanding of the seasons has fundamentally changed my life, my outlook, my selfcare routine and my interpersonal relationships, all for the better. A sense of calm has washed over me through this understanding that I was deeply searching for but didn’t know where to find the solution. Maisie has taught me that the solution is me by tuning into my cycle, to working with my cycle and harnessing the unique power that comes with being a woman and having a cycle. It’s the beginning of a magical journey!

Very informative.
This book is very informative and I learned a lot. It took me a long time to get through as I wanted to write a few things down. It would have been very beneficial to have a pdf to download vital info on signs and symptoms. This is why I only gave this book 4 stars. I also didn’t expect any swearing, so ended up not being able to listen with the kids around. But I will definitely recommend.

A must read for EVERY female!!
So informative with lots of tools to help you that don’t cost a thing. Only part I didn’t agree with is the statement about olive oil and seed oils. From four reputable sources, you must not heat olive oil as it changes it on a molecular level and damages your cells. All seed oils are extracted in a way that damage their molecular profile and therefore damage your cells. This damage is irreversible so but don’t take my word, do your own research to confirm. Thank you Maisie for this wonderful book!!
