At Unfabled, we’re on a mission to make you feel empowered and in control of your menstrual cycle, every day of the month. After all, we believe that there’s more to your menstrual cycle than just your period. Your menstrual cycle is made up of your hormones, mood swings, symptoms and self-care - all of which have an impact on your menstrual wellbeing and all things that we should be talking about. And that’s just it, we should be talking about periods. That’s why we’re working hard to break down the barriers surrounding periods and encouraging you to talk more openly about your menstrual cycle. We want conversations around periods to happen, and what better place to start than getting your hands on a book specifically about the menstrual cycle? 

So, we’ve curated our favourite must-reads on the menstrual cycle. Whether it’s helping you understand your own menstrual cycle better, or so you can support a loved one - perhaps your daughter, granddaughter, parent or grandparent - as they begin to experience changes in their body, we believe that these books should be on everyone’s reading list. 

Whether you’re having a relaxing soak in the bath complete with maude's Nourishing Mineral Bath Salts, or enjoying a cup of Our Remedy’s Oh My Flo Wellness Tea, it’s time to totally switch off from your chaotic calendar and get lost in one of these books. 

Moody: A 21st Century Hormone Guide by Amy Thomson

They say knowledge is power, and that couldn’t be more true than when you’re reading Moody: A 21st Century Hormone Guide. This debut book by Amy Thomson brings you everything you wish you had always known and learnt about your menstrual cycle. 

Amy dives deep into how our menstrual cycle works, helping us to gain a better understanding of the power of our hormones and how they can have a severe impact on our daily routine. Backed by science and research from nutritionists, gynaecologists, endocrinologists and personal trainers, this eye-opening guide is everything you need to balance menstrual wellbeing and modern-day survival in the 21st century.

We love the authenticity of Moody, a book inspired by Amy’s own real-life experiences. Having never really paid attention to hormones, Amy one day found her periods had stopped. After discovering that this was a result of hormonal burnout driven by stress, Amy quit her job to try and better understand her menstrual wellbeing. Shaped around this life-changing experience, Moody helps readers gain a real understanding of their hormones and in turn, optimise the life they live - burnout free.
