About the Female Reproductive System

The female reproductive system is highly adept to human reproduction.


The female reproductive system has 7 hormones which work together symphonically to cause 4 highly specific processes to occur within a regular monthly cycle. During this monthly cycle you can expect: the development of multiple follicles, ovulation, the building of the lining of the uterus to prepare for possible conception, and the release of that lining when conception does not occur.


When conception does occur, the process of gestation is absolutely astounding!


The baby’s growth and maturation are made possible by the woman’s hormones, immune function and metabolism. Not only is this process beneficial to the unborn baby, but this process is also beneficial to the mother during labor and delivery. While labor and delivery is a very challenging and dangerous time, it’s amazing how women’s bodies can transform to safely preserve their own lives and also the lives of their new baby.


The female body is also bio-chemically attuned to support this intense menstrual and reproductive process by being extremely efficient at extracting micronutrients from food, having a more developed immune system, by having a slightly slower metabolic system to retain nutrients for as long as possible, and by having more connections of nerve fibers between the two hemispheres of the brain.


So this biochemical precision ensures that a woman is sensitive to herself, her body, her community, and her environment, so she can make the best decisions for her well-being, as she is also looking out for the best interest of her children as well!


And when not creating a tiny human, all these same systems support her at being a strong, attuned leader in her community and in the world.
