Kristen Burris was 21 and staying at her aunt and uncle's, the night before a 17-mile hike, when her period started and she ended up crawling to the toilet. When she told her aunt this happened every cycle, her aunt said, "That's not okay."
Doctors already wanted to give Kristen a hysterectomy. Today she's a doctor of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, and in our conversation she shows how much a cycle can reveal, from the color of the blood to the day the pain peaks.
I got goosebumps while she talked. Stay for the moment she describes reproductive endocrinologists calling her patients' improved test results "a lab error," and what she told them.
