Unlocking the Power of the Menstrual Cycle: Hormone Health, PMDD & Period Care | Ashley Greene

In this eye-opening episode of The Dr. Brighten Show , I sit down with Ashley Greene Khoury —actress, entrepreneur, and Twilight alum—and her co-founder Olivia Khoury , to talk about the one thing the health industry still gets so wrong: women’s pain . Together, they’re rewriting the story on periods, PMDD, and hormone health through their company, Hummingway —a brand disrupting the femcare space with science-backed, non-toxic solutions. What started as a personal struggle for both women turned into a mission to end the cycle of dismissal and disempowerment so many of us face when we walk into a doctor’s office. We go deep into topics most platforms won’t touch—from the real effects of birth control , to the way neurodivergent women are failed by traditional medicine. If you’ve ever been told your pain is normal, this episode will change the way you think about your body—and what it’s truly capable of.
