About the Book
Your period has power. Embrace your natural cycle, work with your hormones, and connect to the innate feminine wisdom of your menstrual cycle.
Women experience 350–500 menstrual cycles in their lifetime. But your period is way more than PMS, carb cravings, and lady rage. It's actually a four-part code that, once cracked, will uncover a series of monthly superpowers, and working with your menstrual cycle is a key to wellness, self-esteem, and empowerment.
In Code Red, Lisa Lister shares how to live and work in complete alignment with the rhythms of nature, the moon, and your menstrual cycle. Discover:
· how to attune to the phases of your cycle, from pre-ovulation to menstruation, to find the best times for planning, manifesting, and achieving your goals – from supercharged fertility and sexuality to emotional clarity, spiritual insight, and creative vision
· rituals, exercises, and yoga practices to support you in each phase of your monthly cycle
· herbal healing remedies for hormonal balance, sexual energy, enhanced fertility, energy, and cleansing
· how to release shame and embrace your sacred feminine energy
· easy-to-follow strategies and insights for birth control, fertility issues, reproductive health, and much more
Be inspired by insights from Wise and Wild Women like Meggan Watterson, Alexandra Pope, and Uma Dinsmore Tuli, and stories of the sacred feminine traditions throughout history. You'll be invited to connect with your true nature as a woman, tap into the transformational power of your innate feminine wisdom, and use your menstrual cycle as an ever-unfolding map to crack your lady code.

Review :
“Lisa Lister is the woman we all wish we were lucky enough to have as our sister. But short of having her on speed dial, this book is the next best thing to a full-on feminine support system!”
—Kathleen McGowan, activist and international bestselling author of The Expected One and The Book of Love
“Code Red is a modern priestess guide for women to go within and use their feminine cycles to lead the good life. Lisa Lister sounds the call for you to heal your cycle, accept your ever-changing body, and honor your feminine soul. This is the essential foundation and practice for you to get in your ‘FLO’ and becomethe powerful force of nature that you are designed to be!”
—Alisa Vitti, hormonal health expert and author of WomanCode
“Lisa Lister doesn’t mess around. She’s here to break boundaries and barriers that have been created by what society defines ‘normal’ and, in turn, remind us what’s real. Teaching and leading other girls to honor their divinity inside and out is no easy task, and for that reason alone, I respect Lisa wholeheartedly. As far as I’m concerned, Lisa is part-angel, part-goddess, and part-rocker—she writes in a way that’s friendly, honest, and captivating. This book is filled with ‘aha!’ moments from beginning to end. Let Code Red help you recognize your monthly flow—as a reminder that you are fiercely feminine.”
—Kyle Gray, bestselling author of Angel Prayers
“Lisa’s sheer passion is palpable, whether she is presenting her practical guide to getting the most out of your cycle or tackling complex philosophical questions of femaleness. She stands strong in that space between cycle-worship and cycle-commodification, making room for more women to feel self-knowledge through body acceptance is here for them, too. To paraphrase Gail Dines, if women loved their bodies, how much might society change for the better? Lisa gives us a glimpse of a bright future.”
—Holly Grigg-Spall, author of Sweetening the Pill: or How We Got Hooked on Hormonal Birth Control
“Lisa is so full of womanly wisdom; she completely blows my mind. As a very left-brain entrepreneur, I sometimes forget I have a body, let alone a female one! She reminds me to look within at the wild, messy, imperfect but oh-so-freaking powerful feminine self and use that to create a more creative and soul-fulfilling life. I can’t wait to dive into Code Red whenever I need a reminder.”
—Denise Duffield-Thomas, author of Lucky Bitch and Get Rich, Lucky Bitch!, and founder of LuckyBitch.com
“Lisa Lister is love on fire. A true embodiment of the goddess on Earth who walks the fire path of love, truth, fleshly feelings of wild desire—women wake to unconditional and healing love in Lisa’s wake. Her words, all from the deepest caverns of her heart, touch the hearts of all who read her. To read Lisa is to know her and to know Lisa is to know oneself. Her journey is yours, and yours hers, and all together, we piece the goddess back together on the planet.”
—Sarah Durham Wilson, founder of Doitgirl.com
“Every woman NEEDS to read this book. It will make you laugh, cry, and nod in agreement, but it will also give you ‘aha!’ moments oftotal inspiration. This book tells YOUR story. Lisa Lister is handing us the key to our own freedom, enabling us to find ourselves and reconnect with our own inner power, releasing us from the bonds that society, media, and even our own minds put in place. This book brings a new era... vive la menstruation revolution!”
—Rachel Patterson, author of Moon Magic and The Grimoire of a Kitchen Witch
“An important book for our current cultural times. As women continue to fight for equality, Lisa reconnects the modern woman with her innate feminine wiles. Yes, it gets bloody and intimate, but the lack of that truth has sanitized our existence... until now. In this intriguing and beautifully unsanitary account, Lisa allows us to own our bodies and to know what and how they really work. Delving beyond the physical, this is a spiritual, transformative read. One for all our sisters and daughters.”
—Alice Grist, author of The High-heeled Guide to Enlightenment and Dear Poppyseed: A Soulful Momma’s Pregnancy Journal
“A priceless book for girl—and womankind. This book beautifully relates the menstrual cycle phases with nature’s seasons and the Moon phases. This has become my go‑to manual for life planning, e.g. when to make business decisions, approach relationship questions, or take time off for resting. Jam-packed with bloody glorious information!”
—Ani Richardson, author of Love or Diet: Love Yourself and Release the Need to be Comforted by Food
