Today Mason and Dr Nat Kringoudis discuss the missing link in reproductive health - the fact that our youngsters are not being appropriately educated in this field. Dr Nat is extremely passionate about empowering the young and educating our children, rather than letting them find their way in the big, bad online world. They explore the skills that a care giver can incorporate in their repertoire to hold space for these conversations around fertility, reproductive health, sex and everything in between. Dr Nat raises the point that, from a young age, we are told narratives around most sexual, reproductive and gender-specific body functions. But why? For example, why do we tell our youngsters that babies are delivered by a stork? Tune in to today's episode to explore how we can begin to redefine the sexual educairon of our teens, for healthier generations to come. You will hear about: How normalizing sexual/reproductive facts with kid's is a really proactive preventative measure to educate the future generations 30% of teens are googling reproductive health; let's shift their first experience from the online forum, to a face to face age-appropriate conversation The stress around infertility, tends to overtake any structural or physiological fertility issues Synthetic hormonal birth control (like the pill) mask any underlying symptoms Kids observe and absorb; we need to make sure we are educated and empowered to lead by example If you suffer from PCOS, intermittent fasting can be a game changer The biggest hormonal issues stem from stress Try aligning to the feeling you want, rather than the goal How synthetic birth may encourage infertility STD's can have devastating long-term fertility effects Hormonal issues are normal until around age 18 for females How condoms and barrier methods should be non-negotiable for teens Who is Dr Nat Kringoudis?

SHOWNOTES Welcome to this week’s episode: Over her 15 years of experience, Nat’s path led her to look at women’s health and fertility. Her clinic is predominantly Chinese medicine based but it complements Western medicines Nat talks about her new book “Beautiful You”. It talks about life from puberty onwards and supports them for their sexual and reproductive health – including emotional health and look after their body. Nat emphasises the importance of sexual health education for parents and young girls alike. Nat’s consults with patients all over the world too. Nat’s definition of happiness is about feeling not a destination and loves spending time with the family and cross-fitting with her husband, Chris. Nat’s morning routine isn’t set as it depends on when her kids wake up but takes a chance to find a little time to meditate and check her emails. Mentoring is a rewarding experience that Nat enjoys alongside her professional work. Nat’s favourite meal would be anything slow-cooked. Nat fasts overnight for about 16 hours regularly and uses food as a way of recovering her body after movement. Nat encourages people the best thing they can do for their health is priortise their nutrition. The setbacks that Nat’s encountered have left profound impacts on Nat to look at her behaviour in terms of mindfulness and her career. Nat is a big laugh of loud advocate and her philosophy that laughter is medicine.
