At Samphire, we’re on a mission to illuminate this connection. That’s why we’ve created the Cycle Brain Guide—a comprehensive, 42-page deep dive into how your menstrual cycle affects your brain. Inside, you’ll find the latest research on how hormones influence brain function and activity. We break down the neuroscience behind common symptoms like mood swings and pain, offering insights to help you better understand and navigate these changes.
