Wie können wir unsere Töchter (und auch unsere Jungs) von klein auf in ein zyklisches Leben begleiten - ganz natürlich, und natürlich bindungsbasiert? Gemeinsam mit Zyklusmentorin, Menstruationsexpertin und Bestsellerautorin Josianne von Quittenduft gehe ich in dieser Podcast-Folge u.a. diesen Fragen nach: Wieso fängt die Begleitung hin zur Periode schon dann an, wenn deine Tochter noch in den Kinderschuhen steckt (oder noch gar keine Schuhe trägt)? Wie können wir unser eigenes Frau-Sein reflektieren und mit ganzem Herzen annehmen? Wie gelingt es uns – durch diese Annahme – ein positives Bild des weiblichen Zyklus zu vermitteln, sodass wir eben nicht unsere eigenen Themen an unsere Töchter weitergeben? Wie gehen wir am besten mit der ersten Periode unserer Tochter, der Menarche, um? Was gibt es in dieser verwirrenden Lebensphase zu beachten und wie kann es uns als Mütter gelingen, eine gute Beziehung zu unseren pubertierenden Töchtern zu haben?

If you have teenagers in your life, you may have noticed that kids these days seem to be getting their periods earlier than previous generations did. It's not just in your head: A recent study from Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health confirms what many people have assumed, as well as additional findings about period regularity in younger generations.The study, which analyzed self-reported data from more than 71,000 participants in the US, found that menstrual periods are arriving earlier for younger generations, with the average age dropping from 12.5 years old for people born in 1950 to 11.9 years old for those born in 2005. More staggering, however, is that both early menarche—a person's first menstrual period—and irregular periods were much more common in the non-white and low-income study participants. And period irregularity has become more common for younger generations compared to their older counterparts.These findings are a big deal, because early menarche and irregular periods can be a signal of future health issues, including pregnancy complications and mental health changes. Joining guest host Anna Rothschild to discuss the findings and their implications is lead study author Dr. Zifan Wang, postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

There is a notable paucity of research on women in sport and exercise science research. The gap is even greater for women in midlife and beyond. (See the recent Editorial in the British Journal of Sports Medicine by McNulty, Olenick, Moore, and Cowley, “Invisibility of female participants in midlife and beyond in sport and exercise science research: a call to action.”In this episode, Dr. Armstrong is joined by Sam Moore, a former student in the Exercise Science program at Western Oregon University and a PhD candidate at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Sam is among the few exercise physiologists who are challenging the knowledge gaps in women's sport and exercise research and a rising star in the field.The pair discuss the knowledge gap and what perimenopausal and postmenopausal women need to know to… age well. Ingredients for Active Women: GSSI: https://www.gssiweb.org/sports-science-exchange/article/functional-ingredients-to-support-active-womenSports Medicine: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36173598/Menstrual Cycle: Creatine & Performance & Recovery: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/15/16/3567Creatine & Fluid Distribution: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/15/2/429Gymnastics; Menarche & Body Comp: https://journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/wspaj/32/S1/article-wspaj.2023-0069.xmlAnaerobic Performance & Fatiguability: https://journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/fulltext/9900/effects_of_hormonal_contraception_and_the.426.aspx Invisible Sportswoman 2.0: https://journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/wspaj/32/1/article-wspaj.2023-0039.xmlMenopause (Body Comp, PA, Symptoms): https://journals.lww.com/menopausejournal/fulltext/2024/04000/body_composition,_physical_activity,_and_menopause.12.aspxSupport the Show.Have questions you want answered and topics you want discussed on the Aging Well Podcast?

Every woman sheds a part of herself as she goes through the rite of passages - Menarche, Birth and Menopause, the life altering experiences that hold huge significance.  We all arrive in pregnancy with something we have learnt from our life experiences which helps us visualise our birth in a certain way. Some of us desire it to be a breeze, some of us desire it to be painless, some of us desire it to be with friends and family, some of us want to avoid a surgery at all costs even if we do not know how birth can look like, some of consider it our identity linked to birthing naturally as women.Sanjana's journey has been the same very much like many of us. She is self aware, reflective and growth oriented: Innwards in her journey of pregnancy and birth. Her transitioning definitions about herself contributed to the decision of prioritising her ideas about birth over the little juggles of life. Listen to the journey of transformation for a woman through pregnancy and birth as we rediscuss them as the rightful dimensions of growth a women is gifted with which she has all the right to experience guided by herself than any authority or outward force.About Guest: Sanjana is a Political Scientist by profession focused on urban-rural linkages, urban studies and inequalities in India. She is the cofounder of the Beejvan Biodiversity and Collaborative Research Foundation. A winner of the Erasmus scholarship, the  German Chancellors' Fellowship and  Visiting Fellow at the University of Cambridge. Her project, Beejvan won the Lush Spring Prize 2023, UK.Sanjana is also a home birthing mother of two daughters and very passionate about immunology, and enjoys learning about various indigenous healing modalities. Her quest for truth, led by her intuition, beyond what science and religion have attempted to understand and preach, is what led her to birth her daughter's and raise them on her own terms. The journey of healing is non-linear and ongoing and she trusts it is a beautiful one, even on the worst days.Support the showSign up for Traverse the Labor Land and Own your birth programs! visit www.birthagni.com/contactusSupport the show: If you like what you hear, leave us a rating on Spotify app and answer the question at each episode! a review on Apple podcasts.

Joss Golden is a Trauma Informed Parenting Consultant and Level Two Aware Parenting Instructor who is certified with the Aware Parenting Institute. Joss is a mother of two children aged 19 and 17, and she's really passionate about supporting parents to raise children who are deeply connected to their authentic selves so they can process and heal from our trauma and so that we can be the parents that we want to be. I absolutely love this conversation with Joss. She shares so much wisdom that is really suitable for parents but also people who are likely to be parents in the future. Joss invites us to let go of guilt and shame when we don't need to hold it, and instead, to bring so much compassion to ourselves as we learn to be the parents that our children need us to be and to flow with the changes as our children develop and move into new stages of life and surprises. We talked about:What Aware Parenting is and how Joss found it, and why its different to other parenting frameworks,How we can be with ourselves and our feelings as we parent developing children, and are triggered by our children's feelings and behaviours,How to honour our changing capacity for listening to feelings and doing life as our energy and resources wax and wane.Being with what comes up for us in our Inner Spring of the menstrual cycle, which is a mirror of the Maiden time of our lives, as well as the Inner Summer, which is a reflection of the Mother season of life, and how our children and menstrual cycle can show us where their is room for healing and growth. How Joss held a beautiful Menarche celebration for her daughter when she had her first period, and how she educated and supported both of her children through puberty. What Joss believes children should know beyond just the facts of life, so that they can become their most wise, joyful, connected, self aware and compassionate young people they can be.Whether you have children now or not this is a really great listen as we're talking about reparenting ourselves and inner child healing as well as supporting children through puberty adolescence and their rites of passages. LINKSJoss's website with free articles, courses and community www.awareparenting.com.auInstagram @AwareparentingwithJossMy chat with Joss on her Aware Parenting Stories PodcastBooks by Thanks so much as ever for supporting me to host Wild Flow Podcast!

When a young women comes into her menarche (get's her period) her whole nervous system rewires, and the ways we support her during this time will deeply impact and create a blue print for her next stage of life in maidenhood.  In the episode, Kassandra shares what is happening for the young blossom, what this can stir up in mothers, how mothers can go back and heal their younger selves who might not have been welcomed into Menarche in such a way, and what fathers can do to support their young women. I feel this episode is a must! What if all women were raised in this way where they are deeply connected to themselves, to their sacredness?  Check it out - let me know what you think, share with a friend who might benefit from learning more how to support their daughters in this impactful time.   Kassandra Angus is a traditional reproductive therapist, facilitator & mentor for women & young girls who are seeking a grounded journey through the continuum of womanhood.

Have you ever thought about your first period?  Do you ever consider how it shaped you as a person, womb holder or woman? I think this moment and the time just after it is more powerful than we think.  It imprints on us several impressions about womanhood or wombhood that we're usually not mature enough to process at the time.  Now is that time. I'm interviewing 8 people over 3 podcast episodes about their first period. Today you will hear the stories of Dylan, Jenne and Christy. Each of them has struggled with their period in their own way, but is at a different place on that journey.

Learn how a teen girl's cycle differs from a grown woman's and the red flags to be aware of.  Connect with me on Instagram. Cycle Strategy 101    

Kim McCabe, the founder of Rites for Girls says that without puberty rites of passage, young people self-initiate. The media tells them how they should be and our youngsters create their own ways of proving their adulthood through feats, dares, and adventures. They try to appear like adults in what they do and how they look: using clothes, make-up, drink, cigarettes, cars, and sex.According to Kim, we grown-ups can take back the role of initiating our children into adulthood, and “the children welcome it, we are fulfilled by it, and a transition that has become defined by its difficulty can become a joyous one.”In our conversation today we explore how to take back the role of initiating our girls and young people into their menstruating lives.We explore:How to begin speaking about menstruation, move through shame and support girls to have healthy relationships with their bodies.The importance of asking “what makes your heart sing?” and “what brings you joy?” to our girls, especially between age 10-12, so these threads are tended and their unique essence awakens. The profound impact of happens when you have regular “mother-daughter dates”…---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

This week our host, Faith Salie, talks to Dr. Edith Bracho-Sanchez, a pediatrician at NewYork-Presbyterian's Ambulatory Care Network and Columbia, about ways parents and caregivers can talk to their children about puberty and the changes that come with this stage in life. Dr. Bracho-Sanchez also discusses why puberty may be happening earlier and earlier in children. Click here for the episode transcript. 

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog The most common cause of hysterectomy in women are benign masses that grow within the uterine wall. They occur in 4 out of 5 women, and they can be small and asymptomatic, or they can grow large and cause pain, uterine bleeding, pelvic pressure, urinary incontinence and pregnancy complications. Uterine Fibroids are “the most common tumor in women world-wide”. Although benign, uterine fibroids are associated with significant morbidity; they are the primary indication for hysterectomy, and a major source of gynecologic and reproductive dysfunction, ranging from menorrhagia and pelvic pain to infertility, recurrent miscarriage, and preterm labor. Fibroids are also referred to as “leiomyomas”, “myomas”, “fibroid tumors”, and sometimes slangily referred to as “fireballs”.  They are in fact “ball-like” in shape and when we inspect them at hysterectomy, they are made up of swirling muscle cells that are laid down in concentric circles.  Gynecologists find fibroids when we examine a patient at their yearly visit by feeling an enlarged irregular uterus.  The fibroids are within the wall of the uterus and often cause heavy uterine bleeding.  Where the fibroids are, within the wall of the uterus, determines whether they are more likely to cause bleeding or not.  Placement up against the uterine cavity (“submucosal”) increases risk of bleeding, and placement in the middle and surface of the uterine wall (“subserosal”) decreases risk of severe bleeding. At BioBalance Health LLC we require every patient who comes to us who still has a uterus to have a formal abdominal and vaginal ultrasound to diagnose fibroids and other uterine abnormalities,  before we will give them estradiol pellets.  Testosterone doesn't have a negative effect on fibroids so we can still put a woman on testosterone with fibroids. Otherwise, we have the risk of fibroid growth in our consents, and we discuss this issue when a patient's ultrasound shows significant fibroids. What causes a woman to be more likely to have fibroids during her reproductive years? Triggers for Fibroid Development ·      Race ·      Genetics/ family history ·      Diet ·      Early Age at First Period ·      Toxins in the environment especially in early life ·      Obesity ·      Advancing age ·      Vitamin D deficiency ·      Hypertension ·      Pregnancy suppresses the growth of fibroids  Race: Both Black and Hispanic women are the most likely to develop fibroids and experience enough symptoms to cause the need for a hysterectomy. Black women are 3X as likely as white women to have fibroids, and they are more likely to have very large fibroids. In some circumstances fibroids can prevent pregnancy and cause recurrent miscarriages and preterm labor. 60% of African American women aged 35-49 years reported uterine fibroids, whereas 80% of those aged ≥ 50 have uterine fi-broids. Genetics/Family History: If a woman has a mother or sister with fibroids, then that woman has twice the risk compared to a woman without a family history of fibroids. “Uterine fibroid-linked mutations in MED12” are the most common mutation we have found, however a mutation in the COMP pathway is also found to be associated with fibroids. Diet: A diet with high intake of meat, fat and alcohol increases a woman's risk of developing fibroids.  A diet deficient in fresh fruit and vegetables also increases the risk of fibroid appearance and growth. Smoking is highly associated with fibroid growth. Early age of Menarche is a risk for developing fibroids, which increases the years a woman is exposed to estrogens. Toxins from the environment, and from alcohol increases the development of fibroids.  Cleanses might help rid your body of toxins that might methylate your genes and stimulate fibroid growth. Obesity and Being overweight: Body fat increases the estrone estrogens in the circulation, which stimulates fibroids to grow.  Advancing age until Menopause: When women enter their late 40s their ovaries decrease ovulation and the uterus is exposed to estrogen without progesterone, which causes fibroids to grow.  After menopause, some fibroids shrink while others stay the same. When women take HRT their fibroids may be stimulated again, however because it is not cyclic, it is less likely to stimulate fibroid growth. Hormone Replacement Therapy can increase the size of fibroids: HRT is only one of the factors that causes growth of fibroids in menopausal women.  If estrogen is balanced with progesterone (not progestins) growth is less likely.  Testosterone has no effect on fibroids so replacing testosterone is not a factor for Fibroid growth. At BioBalance we have medicated pellets that combine Testosterone with Anastrazole which suppress the growth of fibroids.  We use these on our patient who have known fibroids, if they are willing to undergo treatment with this Vitamin D deficiency The role of Vitamin D in development of fibroids is being researched at this time, however an adequate Vitamin D blood level is needed to help prevent Fibroid growth. “Approximately 80% of African American women have vitamin D deficiency, compared with only 20% of Caucasian women”. This is one of the factors in Race being a factor in the development of fibroids. Hypertension Increased diastolic blood pressure is associated with a higher risk of uterine fibroids, regardless of use of antihypertensive drugs. Women suffering from hypertension are 5 times more likely to develop uterine fibroids.  Not Having Babies (Low parity) Having had one or more babies (parity) is protective, and the more babies a woman has the less likely she is to have fibroids What are the Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids? Fibroids are benign uterine tumors, so patients are not at risk of dying of cancer, but women with fibroids often have quality of life issues, found in the symptoms listed above, that lead them to the final treatment for fibroids, a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus). So can we prevent these masses from occurring, growing and producing symptoms? How Do You Know You Have Fibroids? The growth of fibroids is generally slow and is accompanied by slowly worsening symptoms. When there are many fibroids, large fibroids or submucosal fibroids patients seek help for their symptoms which include: ·      Heavy uterine bleeding which can be severe leading to anemia ·      Pelvic pain and pressure ·      Large mass effect that puts pressure on the bladder and colon causing dysfunction of those organs like stress incontinence, and constipation. ·      Painful intercourse ·      Multiple Miscarriages ·      Preterm labor ·      Weight gain What is the Diagnostic Process that Confirms Fibroids When I was practicing OBGYN, and a women came into my office for a GYN exam and I felt. The uterus was enlarged and irregular, it triggered me to do three tests to see if it was a fibroid, ovarian mass, pregnancy or other abdominal tumor.  I would first order a rapid pregnancy test. Then I'd order blood work to see if my patient was anemic from heavy bleeding, and If the pregnancy test was negative, then I would order an abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound to get a picture of what I was feeling on exam. If I found a fibroid uterus, then I would have a discussion with my patient to see how severe her symptoms were.  I would also tell her how big the uterus.  The size of a fibroid uterus does matter.  If it is greater than 16 pregnancy week size, it is likely putting undue pressure on the other organs in the abdomen.  The speed of growth is also a factor because if the uterus grew quickly, then it has a tiny chance of being a malignant sarcoma.  The risk of this is < 1%, however fast growth of a fibroid uterus is an indication to do a hysterectomy. If the uterus is greater than 12 weeks size an ultrasound cannot adequately measure the uterus or reveal the inside of all of it so an MRI of the pelvis and abdomen is in order before surgery. What Type of Treatment Can Shrink or Remove Symptoms of Fibroids? The options for control of Fibroid Symptoms with Medications/Supplements include: ·      Progestins or Progesterone without cycling ·      Birth Control Pills ·      Lupron and other drugs in that class (this puts the patient into a temporary menopause). ·      Anastrazole (Arimidex®) which stops the conversion of testosterone into estrone and estradiol. ·      Stop Estrogen replacement, or. Lower the dose of estrogen if you are menopausal. ·      Treatment of inflammation (High CRP) ·      Vitamin D supplementation ·      Probiotics ·      Supplemental vitamins and minerals These are the first treatments doctors use to lessen the symptoms of fibroids unless bleeding is so severe that it becomes an emergency and then invasive treatments are used. ·      Uterine Artery Embolization is done by a radiologist and puts a “plug” in the fibroid's blood supply and then slowly the fibroid shrinks and dies. The only problem is that once you have had one fibroid, you can always make more.  This may be a delaying process to allow a patient to make more red blood cells before a definitive surgery. ·      Myomectomy is a procedure done under anesthesia, and it preserves the uterus while removing one or more fibroids.  This procedure makes the uterus more fragile and puts it at risk of uterine rupture if a woman gets pregnant and goes through labor.  Therefore, myomectomies are usually followed by a C-section for delivery to avoid the risks. This procedure cannot be done on all fibroid uteruses.  The doctor must determine if it is possible to preserve the uterus, since many fibroids invade the whole uterus. ·      Hysterectomy is the one procedure that guarantees that uterine fibroids will not return. After childbearing is complete a woman doesn't need her uterus for anything. It is simply there to bear children and does not secrete hormones or provide any other function. A Hysterectomy is done under anesthesia and removes the uterus that contains the fibroids.  If the cervix is not involved with fibroids and there is no history of cervical cancer, a supracervical hysterectomy can be done, preserving the cervix and the nerves that stimulate deep orgasms.   The Newest Research on Fibroids: Knowing this information should make it easier for you to understand your doctors' findings and what is ahead of you.  I hope you can understand the risk factors and the possible treatments available to you.

Briony Goodsell is a sacred birth keeper, postpartum doula, feminine yoga teacher and womb medicine woman as well as a devoted mama. She supports women in embodying our divine feminine power, reconnecting to our wombs, our cycles, and our own sacredness through feminine earth wisdom. In this episode we dive into the feminine rites of passage, including menarche (first bleed) to explore WHY this is a sacred initiation that needs to be observed, honoured and celebrated with intention and respect. We talk about: ➳ Briony's own initiation into the divine feminine, through experiencing an eating disorder, challenges in conception + miscarriage, and her journey to coming home to her body and into the work she does now ➳ We talk about what the feminine rites of passage ARE ➳ And in particular we circle back to Menarche, our first bleed. ➳ We talk about WHY this is such a pivotal time in a girl's transition into woman ➳ Including the stories we learn and conditioning that we receive ➳ We talk about some of the seemingly inconsequential things that can impact our menarche ➳ We chat about what an empowered menarche might look and feel like - how we can create this, not just for ourselves, but for future generations ➳ We talk about the importance of the Maiden archetype and why it holds power and magick that is ESSENTIAL in our journey, and some of the ways the Maiden is disregarded or denigrated in our culture ➳ We talk about the repercussions of NOT experiencing a lovingly supported menarche, so what happens when a girl is NOT lovingly and respectfully guided into her feminine power upon her first bleed —  and how this shows up at the alter of birth and pregnancy (and our transition into Mother, whether you physically give birth or not). ➳ We talk about the importance of connecting to other women, especially our elder, wise women, the magas and crones. ☾ Plus so much more ☾ EPISODE RESOURCES Jane Hardwicke Collings Burning Woman by Lucy H Pearce Women Who Run With the Wolves by Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estes «««« ⎊ »»»» CONNECT WITH BRIONY On Instagram @sacredfemininecollective Over on her website CONNECT WITH RACHEL ⁠Download my FREE Womb Clearing Guide⁠ ⁠Follow me on Instagram⁠ ⁠Work with me⁠ «««« ⎊ »»»» COSMIC WEAVINGS - FREE MONTH (MARCH ONLY) Your map and compass to the new/full moon, monthly energies and seasonal celebrations.

If you're familiar with my style, you know I'm not a this-for-that kind of herbalist so when I was asked the question a couple weeks ago, "what herbs do you recommend for hormonal health?" My answer was unsurprisingly, "it depends."But I wanted to create something to answer that question that also incorporates the concept of WHY we would choose each of these herbs.Not just what the herbs are, not just their actions, but how they support hormonal health from a more wide-lens perspective.So I referred back to the 5 herbal pillars of hormonal health that I covered last summer, and chose a range of some of my favorite herbs that cover each of those, so you have a few herbs you can begin to explore depending on what symptoms and patterns you see showing up in your body hormonally. No matter what menstrual challenge or peri-menopausal weirdness you've got going on, it's likely at least one of these herbs may be an ally for you. In the end, it's less about the exact symptoms and more about what's underlying your imbalances that matters. And you'll hear all about that and more in this episode.Listen to learn:why hormonal health is more complex than just addressing symptomsreview the 5 herbal pillars of hormonal health10 of my favorite herbs to incorporate into hormonal health formulas specific indications, energetics and insights on each herbhow tracking your symptom patterns helps you choose herbsResources:FREE download: 10 key herbs for your hormonal healthSign up for the Pelvic Health Summit (March 24th-26th)Episode 4: Herbal spotlight on TulsiEpisode 11: Herbal spotlight on dandelionEpisode 17: How stress messes with your hormonesEpisode 22: Herbal Spotlight on nettlesEpisode 30: 5 herbal keys for hormonal healthEpisode 32: Herbal spotlight on motherwortEpisode 40: Herbal spotlight on schisandraEpisode 44: Bitters and hormonal balance?If you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdom.  And if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

In this episode I share with you a conversation/interview that I have had in the vault as it was recorded nearly three years ago (!), We discuss the timeless wisdom within a woman's cycle, inner seasons as well as an introduction to the (ancient) important concept of the “three golden opportunities”. If you're interested in vitality, and living connected and at ease from your innate core and on out into the world - this is the place to start. I LOVE these topics and am happy to kick off season three, after a long podcast hiatus! Listen in the end where I give you a little update on my life in real time. Onward into the Yin Water Rabbit year we go!   "Kris (she/her) Kris is a mama, partner, Acupuncturist, Herbalist, Nourishing Life Tradition 養生 yǎng shēng practitioner, and one of the guides at Womb School. She grew up in a multicultural home; Star Trek and Kimchi. Her parents met on a navy base in South Korea where her maternal lineage comes from. Her papa is a blend of Norwegian, Irish, Scottish, and English ancestry. At the tender age of 13, Kris experienced a healing challenge that paved the way for reconnecting with her body and sparked a longing to help others in their healing journeys. Her work helps to bridge the wellness gap in reproductive health by leaning in on timeless wisdom such as 7-Year Life cycles, The Five Elements, Yin & Yang Theory, and Seasonal Attunement. She's a weaver by nature and loves nurturing community and togetherness.  You can follow her at @thewayofyin.  “Our courses weave in the wisdom from Chinese Medicine Gynecology and Reproductive Medicine, The Five Elements, Herbalism & Longevity Practices. Our offerings follow our 7 Year cycles from Menarche to Menopause & Beyond. https://www.thewayofyin.com/courses We're currently in the last week of our program When Earth Bears Metal. A 6-week immersion where we check in and connect with our perimenopausal bodies through the Five Elements. We explore in the gaps of our individual and collective womb continuum stories, build a context for deeply understanding our felt experiences through this rite and learn practical ways to support ourselves through community care."  www.thewayofyin.com

our early period stories, the state of modern sex ed, and how winter can effect our menstrual cycles. As you may know, Allie is a social media influencer, yoga instructor, model, and overall inspiring person. She and I share the life experience of starting our periods super young, and we each discuss what that was like for us as kids. The average age to have a first menstrual cycle is around 12 years old, and many kids that age don't quite know what to expect! Some adolescents can even internalize shame, like if parents' responses don't match what they're needing or if peers react in unkind ways. We discuss what it was like getting boobs early, being overly sexualized by our culture, and feeling like our bodies were somehow different than our friends'. I look back at things like lying to my mom unnecessarily about my periods, and misleading my peers about my level of sexual activity, and I realize there was way too much shame going on. Allie shares her thoughts on public school and how separating boys and girls might make certain aspects of sex ed more confusing and weird than it needs to be. We look back on whether our guy friends handled “girl” topics well when they were brought up, and why it was considered cool to be on birth control. I also recall the challenges that led to my decision to have breast reduction surgery at a young-ish age. And of course, we once again lament the lack of research, resources and conversations around period and cycle health. Then we talk about this younger generation, who thankfully acts more open to things like trying period underwear, acknowledging diverse bodies and validating others' experiences, but who still have to walk through the awkwardness of adolescence and shifting social norms. Then, the final topic in this episode is: Seasonal Affective Disorder effects periods! AND, you're 4x more likely to experience S.A.D. if you're a person who has periods. We share some very interesting and little-known facts about how periods can get worse in winter months, as well as touch on the PMDD diagnosis and its treatment options. Allie shares how her psychiatrist responded well to these topics wen she brought them up, as well as her thoughts on PMDD, S.A.D., SSRI's and probably some other acronyms as well. If you have more hormone, mood or physical challenges in the winter months, you're far from alone. Allie and I love and appreciate you! And we hope that this fun conversation spreads knowledge and encouragement.

What could it look like to experience deep nourishment and caretaking during major transitions in our lives?For those of us with wombs, we travel through multiple significant transitions purely because we have menstural cycles. Everything from our first period (menarche), to becoming a parent, to pregnancy loss or release, to menopause, and beyond. And we go through massive changes throughout our lives unrelated to our wombs, too. Times when our identities are turned over completely and we have to find our way from who we once were to who we are now. Whether it's wombcycle changes or grief from loss of a loved one, embracing a chronic illness, navigating a recovery process, finding ground after a break-up or divorce, or changing careers, we are all familiar with transition. We may not like it, but we know what it feels like. The truth is *most* of us in the modern world have no support for these transitions beyond some well-meaning “congratulations” or “I'm so sorry” from people who love us. We may even be lucky enough to have someone create a “meal train” to help feed us for the first weeks or months after the change, but more likely than not, we navigate this terrain primarily alone.But we as humans are social creatures. We are not meant to navigate these massive transitions alone, and there is SO much that ancestral wisdom can teach us about how to care for these shaky times on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. And Ayurvedic practitioner Ashlee Sakaishi Wilkin is here to share all about how we can create what is called “a sacred window” to nurture and replenish ourselves on all levels in these times of change, and how our community is an essential part of that. Listen to the episode to learn:how Ayurveda perceives times of transitionwhat “a sacred window” means and how to create one in your lifewhy a sacred window is not limited to postpartum careways to incorporate your personal ancestral lineage into your carewhy it's not too late to create a sacred window even if your transition was years agowhat Vata is, and why it's essential to understand in times of changespecific foods and practices to nourish your body, mind + spirit for optimal whole being health through these transitionsResources:Links to Ashlee's offerings on today's shownotes: How to create a sacred windowEpisode 3: Ayurveda and your hormonal health with Kimberly KubickeEpisode 25: Immediate postpartum care with Liz PhilbrickEpisode 28: Rhythms of your wombEpisode 45: Embodying winter with Jade AlicandroIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdom.  And if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

An often overlooked component of preventive medicine is that of women's health. If you google common questions females might have about their bodies you'll get a multitude of answers, some evidence-based, and some not so much. On this episode, we had Dr. Sameena Rahman, also known as Gynogirl on social media, to talk about how preventive medicine relates to the various topics around women's health.  We talk prevention around menarche, the reproductive years, menopause, and beyond. We discuss how prevention can take the form of anything from simple education regarding normal processes, to screening for cervical cancer, and how other lifestyle factors influence reproductive health. This episode is the first we've had on women's health and likely not the last. Let us know what you think! Dr. Rehman's Social Media: Instagram Twitter Link Show Outline Tell us a little bit about what you do, and why you decided to become an obstetrician/gynecologist? What made you go into private practice focusing on gyn? What does preventive medicine as a whole mean to you? Outside of pap-smears, what are other ways preventive medicine relates to female sexual health? When it comes to female sexual health, what are things that females need to watch out for and how can they be active participants in their own sexual health? How does nutrition/exercise/stress relief/etc impact female sexual health? Are they independent or linked? (I.e. CVD and lifestyle factors) Menopause presents a list of changes and challenges for women, outside of the “normal symptoms” what do women need to keep an eye out for? Many symptoms of menopause are disregarded by physicians and patients are given non-useful suggestions such as yoga resulting in reliance on pseudoscientific supplements. What actually works for menopause symptoms? Do you think that our system of medicine currently does a good job of addressing the reproductive health of females and preventing downstream issues? What can we improve? If someone asks you how to get healthy in 2 minutes, what would you tell them? Join our Mailing List HERE: Mailchimp

Elizabeth and Stephanie join Caitlin to talk about 2019's The Other Lamb. Drink every time we say the word patriarchy. Just kidding, please don't. You'll get alcohol poisoning. Tune in for our discussion around a patriarchal separatist cult that slaughters lambs and also *slaughters lambs* (symbolically). We thought we were smarter than this movie. We probably aren't. But we had a lot of fun with it.
