Let’s Talk About What’s Really Happening in Our Bodies

Hi, I’m Kristyn Hodgdon, Co-Founder of Rescripted, but also a millennial woman who’s spent most of her adult life trying to make sense of her own health. Between fertility treatments, two pregnancies, postpartum recovery, and the everyday hormonal rollercoaster of PCOS, I’ve learned one thing for sure: women’s health information is often confusing, stigmatized, or buried in a corner of the internet you only stumble on at 2 a.m.

That’s why I created The Cycle.

This column is where we get real about what’s happening in our bodies. No sugarcoating, no shame — just honest talk about the symptoms we whisper about, the questions we can’t believe we’re Googling, and the things we wish someone had told us sooner. I’ll share my own experiences (yes, even the awkward ones), insights from the Rescripted community, and science-backed information from trusted medical experts. Because you shouldn’t need a PhD and a browser history full of late-night searches to understand your own body.

My hope is that each entry leaves you feeling a little more informed, a little less alone, and a lot more empowered to take the lead in your own self-care. From migraines to fertility to pelvic floor dysfunction, this space is for you.

So, welcome to The Cycle. Let’s start talking about the things that really matter.
