I am France-Emmanuelle Adil, I’m a cis-woman, scientist, entrepreneur, mom of two, and a wife. Like many, I juggle a lot every day, but one of the biggest challenges I've faced started when I got my first period at 11 years old. For 25 years, I dealt with relentless PMS, cramps, and migraines every month. Sometimes, I’d even feel the effects up to two weeks before my period.

My mom used to tell me this pain was just my body’s way of preparing for childbirth, and my gynecologist would recommend ibuprofen—or even antidepressants—to manage it. I spent years feeling ashamed of my periods and the pain, convinced that I was just weak and that nothing would help until menopause. 

This state held me back for most of my life.

I have always been an ambitious person, but my health made me feel weak.

Doubting myself constantly because of the emotional ups and downs, and a foggy brain. 

Feeling useless in bed for days monthly.

​

With a regulated cycle, this strength is multiplied, the creativity expands, and the potential opens.

Feeling so incapacitated to hold more.

Working on my health as a whole, learning to read my hormones and the signals of my body, changed everything in my life.

It gave me control, it gave me responsibility for my own health.

With these new possibilities opening, my body is strong enough to hold them.

My emotional regulation gives me the clarity of thought I missed for most of my life and the grounded calm I craved.

I dedicate my time and expertise to guide powerful leaders in this way.
