¿Qué pueden decir las matemáticas sobre la menstruación más allá de la reproducción? Carolina Ramírez Mazo, doctora en Ingeniería de Sistemas Energéticos, investiga el ciclo ovulatorio-menstrual desde una mirada sistémica: estudia mediante modelos matemáticos cómo las variaciones hormonales se relacionan con procesos como el metabolismo de la glucosa y el funcionamiento cardiovascular. Su trabajo cuestiona una tradición científica que ha estudiado el cuerpo femenino principalmente desde la reproducción y propone entender el ciclo como parte de una fisiología que involucra al organismo entero. En este pódcast conversamos sobre úteros ausentes de los modelos científicos, cuerpos que cambian cíclicamente y matemáticas que pueden ayudarnos a formular nuevas preguntas sobre qué significa estar sanas.

Menstrual health is often treated as a question of access to sanitary pads. But for ZanaAfrica, it is also about education, health, gender equality, environmental sustainability and the power to shape your own future. Social Impact Pioneers, Megan Mukuria, founder and CEO ZanaAfrica and the organisation's Kenya Executive Director, Beatrice Wanjiku Jane explain how a campaign launched in 2006 developed into an ambitious social enterprise and nonprofit working to improve menstrual health and reproductive health education in Kenya. Megan recalls the conversations with young people that convinced her products alone would not be enough. She charts ZanaAfrica's evolution through policy advocacy, sanitary pad innovation, consumer brands and a rights-based curriculum for girls and boys. She also introduces the idea of a “Fast Moving Educational Good”: an everyday product that can carry trusted information into homes and communities. Beatrice describes what she has brought to ZanaAfrica after nearly two decades in international development. Drawing on her experience in child protection, public health, gender-transformative programming and community participation, she makes the case for solutions shaped by those closest to the challenges. That means involving not only girls, but boys, parents, teachers, faith leaders and wider communities. The discussion also examines a persistent problem in social impact funding. Hybrid organisations such as ZanaAfrica can struggle to fit conventional categories: too commercial for some grant-makers, yet unable to offer the returns sought by venture capital. Megan and Beatrice argue for impact-based funding, longer-term partnerships and measurement frameworks co-designed by funders, grantees and communities. Megan reflects on ZanaAfrica's collaboration with the Gates Foundation and what relationship-based funding can make possible. There is also a candid exploration of leadership: adapting to constant change, hiring people with different strengths, sharing power and combining a founder's long-term vision with locally rooted operational leadership. As ZanaAfrica works with the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development, expands its Nia Healthlink platform and looks towards reaching millions more people, Megan and Beatrice consider what it will take to move proven ideas from research into implementation and scale. It asks how governments, philanthropists, businesses and communities can work together to give adolescents reliable knowledge, practical support and greater agency, while building models capable of lasting change across Africa. This is a conversation about period poverty, social entrepreneurship and systems change—and why listening, trust and partnership may be as important as the product itself.

If you're in a herniated disc flare-up right now and wondering whether to wait it out before starting rehab, this session settles the question.If you've got a herniated disc, a disc bulge or sciatica at L4/L5 or L5/S1 and you're in a flare-up, you're in good company — the overwhelming majority of people join a rehabilitation programme precisely because they're in pain at that moment. The mistake is treating a flare-up as one continuous event you have to wait out. It's actually a series of repeated re-aggravations, each one caused by moving the injured segment without control — which means waiting doesn't protect you, because you're still moving through daily life the entire time, just without any guidance.

Last week we gathered in person with twenty-eight of the graduates of the Menstruality Leadership Programme for an in-person retreat, where we focused on healing our experiences of menarche - our first periods. In today's conversation I asked Alexandra and Sjanie to share one of the powerful teachings from the retreat, which is a new way of understanding menstrual cycle awareness as a spiritual life path, by seeing the different key experiences in the menstruality life arc as sacred sites.We explore how the key initiatory experiences of menstruality - menarche, menstruation, matrescence (if we're able to or choose to have children) and menopause - as sacred sites which have been desecrated by hundreds of years of the menstrual cycle being denigrated, ignored, dismissed and shamed. And we take a metaphorical walk through each site, dreaming into how we can each re-sanctify them in our own lives, and how this ripples out into the world. We explore:Menstrual cycle awareness as the key way to resanctify the sacred site of menstruation. The conversation that each of us must have with our wise selves in menopause, as a way to declare the sacredness and meaning within our experience.Healing your menarche experience, by finding the grit in the oyster shell of your experience around your first period, and tracking how it has become the pearl of your calling. ---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.

If your migraines suddenly feel more frequent, intense, or unpredictable in midlife, hormonal instability may be playing a bigger role than you realize.In this episode, you'll learn:

Heavy menstrual bleeding is a common presentation in general practice and can have a significant impact on quality of life — and patients are often looking for clear, practical advice. GPs are often helping patients navigate a range of management options and supporting them to make informed decisions that align with their preferences and goals. This podcast episode with Dr Simone Gonzo focuses on one aspect of that conversation: how to discuss intrauterine systems with patients, address common questions and misconceptions, and support shared decision-making in everyday practice. What you will learn Dr Simone Gonzo shares insights into how to talk to your patients about intrauterine systems, including practical counselling tips for general practice. Patient-centred counselling: Starting with the patient's goals, concerns, fertility plans, and expectations when discussing an LNG-IUD. Assessing suitability: Key history, examination, investigations, and clinical considerations before recommending an LNG-IUD for heavy menstrual bleeding. Explaining benefits and alternatives: How to communicate the benefits of the 52 mg LNG-IUD alongside other medical and procedural treatment options. Setting realistic bleeding expectations: What patients can expect during the first few months, including irregular or prolonged bleeding and the timeframe for assessing treatment benefit. Preparing patients for insertion: How to explain the procedure honestly, discuss pain and analgesia options, and provide trauma-informed care. Discussing risks and warning symptoms: Counselling around expulsion, malposition, perforation, infection, pregnancy, and symptoms requiring assessment. Managing concerns after insertion: A structured approach to assessing persistent or new bleeding, pain, absent strings, or concerns that the IUD is “not working”. Follow-up and shared decision-making: Reviewing treatment goals, providing clear safety-netting and follow-up, documenting counselling, and supporting patients who choose removal.

In this episode, host Jacqueline Buckingham sits down with Val Emanuel, the visionary founder and CEO of Rif Care. Rif Care—which stands for Regenerative International Female—brings you hemp-based menstrual care products that are healthy, sustainable, and responsible. Together, Jacqueline and Val explore the health and environmental benefits of making the switch to hemp, share hilarious and empowering period stories, and strip away the period shame that so many women face. From the shocking synthetic chemicals hidden in typical high school period products to the fact that menstrual products were never historically tested with real blood, this conversation pulls back the curtain on the corporate history of period products and highlights how Riff Care is truly making the planet better. IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER: ➡️ What RIF Stands For: The powerful meaning behind the name—Regenerative International Female—and how the brand embraces physical, planetary, and emotional regeneration. ➡️ The Mission to Regenerate the Planet: How growing hemp actively replenishes the soil with nutrients and diversity, ensuring that creating the product actually leaves the earth better off rather than just sustainable. ➡️ Riff Care's Explosive Trajectory: Launching exclusively with Erewhon in June 2022 to test the consumer appetite, expanding across West Coast retailers like Gelson's, New Seasons, Market of Choice, and Lazy Acres, and securing a spot on Target.com. ➡️ Val's Personal Health Journey: The perfect storm of relationship stress, physical displacement from the Malibu fire, a miscarriage, and severe hormonal imbalances that prompted Val to rid her life of synthetic, chemical-sprayed products and create the solution she needed. ➡️ The Problem with Synthetic Menstrual Products: A breakdown of how typical oil-based polyester and polyurethane components in mainstream brands are essentially cottonized plastic byproducts of gasoline production that trap heat and bacteria. ➡️ Demystifying Tampon Design and Shedding: How Rif Care's organic cotton tampons utilize unique ridges to trap blood more effectively and feature a protective, non-woven outer layer to prevent fiber shedding, which can minimize risks of BV, UTIs, or yeast infections. ➡️ A "Free to Bleed" Period Underwear Experience: Val explains the breathable, leak-proof design of Rif Care's period underwear—crafted with hemp, organic cotton, eucalyptus fiber, and a recycled polyester barrier—that completely removes the stress of stains and daytime sheet washing. ➡️ The Shocking History of Menstrual Product Testing: The deeply unsettling reality that until recently, tampons and pads were historically tested using only salt water rather than real human blood.

We break down why short term weight fluctuation happens and how to respond without panic or risky “fixes.” • Scale weight reflecting water, fat, muscle, and digestive contents • Why fast changes cannot be reverse engineered from one weigh in • Sodium and fluid retention driving “water weight” • Carbohydrates, glycogen storage, and the water that comes with it • Hard workouts causing temporary water retention during muscle recovery • Food timing, larger meals, and constipation affecting the number • Menstrual cycle related fluid shifts and recurring patterns • Weigh in consistency: same time, same scale, similar conditions • Focusing on trends over time instead of one reading • Returning to normal meals and routine instead of “compensating” • Avoiding laxatives, deliberate dehydration, excessive water intake, or changing meds to force a lower number • When to seek medical attention for swelling, shortness of breath, or chest pain • Heart failure weigh in rules being different and following your care team's thresholds You could find us on Instagram.

Confession: Just because your doctor ignored you doesn't mean the wellness industry automatically deserves your credit card. Women are finally talking about hormones, perimenopause, menopause, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, libido, fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and hormone replacement therapy, and that is a good thing. But now that women's hormones are trending, everyone seems to have something to sell: a test, a pellet, a peptide, a supplement stack, a detox, or a one-size-fits-all "optimization" protocol. In this episode, America's Holistic Gynecologist breaks down one of the biggest questions women are asking right now: Are Your Hormones Actually Broken… or Are You Being Sold a Problem? Dr. Tassone discusses the difference between real hormone dysfunction, normal hormonal transition, medical dismissal, non-hormonal health issues, and wellness marketing disguised as personalized care. He explains why "normal labs" do not always mean everything is fine, why symptoms matter but are not a diagnosis by themselves, and why more testing, more hormones, or more supplements do not always equal better medicine. This episode also dives into some of the most common hormone and wellness traps women are falling into, including testosterone hype, hormone pellets, "bioidentical" marketing, advanced hormone testing, peptides, NAD, supplement stacking, and fear-based wellness messaging. If you have ever been told your labs are normal but still knew something felt off, or if you have felt overwhelmed by conflicting hormone advice online, this episode will help you ask better questions, spot red flags, understand what thoughtful hormone care should actually look like, and separate real hormone care from hormone marketing.  In This Episode, Dr. Tassone Covers: Why women are being caught between medical dismissal and wellness marketing The 4 reasons women may feel "hormonal" Why symptoms matter, but symptoms alone are not always a diagnosis Why normal labs should not automatically end the conversation The difference between real hormone care and a product-based protocol Common red flags in hormone clinics, wellness programs, and online hormone advice Why testosterone can be helpful for some women, but is not a magic fix The problem with overselling hormone pellets as "natural" or universally safer Why a $700 hormone test is not the same thing as a treatment plan How peptides, NAD, longevity trends, and supplement stacks can be overmarketed What informed consent should look like in hormone care How women can tell if they are being educated, dismissed, or sold to What personalized hormone care should actually include Red Flags Dr. Tassone Wants Women to Watch For: Every woman receives the same protocol The answer is always the product, hormone, test, or supplement being sold Fear is used before physiology is explained Risks, side effects, contraindications, and alternatives are not discussed Hormone testing is used to confuse instead of clarify Symptoms are blamed on one single hormone or pathway The provider promises one thing will fix everything There is no thoughtful follow-up or dose adjustment You leave feeling broken, scared, or pressured instead of informed What Dr. Tassone Believes Good Hormone Care Should Include: A detailed medical history A clear symptom timeline Review of medications, supplements, and lifestyle factors Menstrual, perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause status Thyroid, metabolic, inflammatory, adrenal, and nutritional context Thoughtful lab testing when clinically appropriate A risk-benefit conversation Discussion of alternatives Individualized dosing Ongoing follow-up Adjustments based on symptoms, labs, and response to treatment If this episode helped you understand the difference between real hormone care and wellness marketing, share it with a woman who has been told her labs are normal but still knows something feels off.

A couple months ago my childhood bestie told me she was hosting a period party for her daughter, and I knew immediately I wanted to reach out to the facilitators to have them on the podcast.Turns out, these two are the real deal. Erica Evans and Darcie Black are both Fertility Awareness Educators that work in the reproductive health field in different niches. Together, they host these "Body Talk" period parties for children 8-12 years old.They are actual parties, with gift bags and balloons and decorations, and they also teach all kinds of practical topics like vulva anatomy, "red and white flow," menstrual product options and so much more. My vision is for more and more of these "period parties" to exist, so I am honored and excited to have these ladies on the podcast to plant the seeds of possibility for all of us. Maybe you'll start a period party in your community, too?Resources:Today's shownotes: Grab links to Erica + Darcies offeringsFree guide: Track Your Cycle Naturally with FAM Click here to send me a quick message :)

All week long, we're looking into 10 new terms and concepts that are certain to be on everyone's lips in 2023! Despite the fact that we're in 2023, there's still a certain squeamishness when it comes to discussions about menstruation, including in the workplace. But that might be about to change in Europe, due to a measure that was recently approved by the lower house of Spain's parliament... In mid-December 2022, Spanish MPs voted to adopt a new bill creating menstrual leave for women suffering from period pain. That's right, 3-5 days off work per month paid by the state. And while it's a first in Europe, such a measure has already existed for decades in other parts of the world. Why do women need time off work during their periods? Which other countries in the world have a menstrual leave policy? Why is menstrual leave a controversial measure? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

You've been told that 10,000 steps a day is enough to keep you healthy but when it comes to your bones and your muscles, walking falls short, and the science explains exactly why. The real drivers of strength, bone density, and lasting health are load, intensity, and resistance, not just movement.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Alyssa Olenick, a PhD in exercise metabolism and ultramarathoner who blends endurance and strength training, to discuss:Why the "interference effect," the fear that cardio cancels your strength gains, is overblown for almost everyone, and what causes the carryover fatigueHow most women train too lightly, believing they're at a 9 out of 10 when they're closer to a 5, and never trigger real muscle adaptationWhy estrogen is not the primary driver of muscle, resistance training is, and what that means through the menopause transitionThe early warning signs of low energy availability, including cycle changes that show up long before a missed period, and the rapid bone loss that followsHow to structure strength, power, and cardio together, and fuel it properly without sabotaging recoveryYou'll walk away knowing how to train for strength, power, and bone density that lasts and why being undertrained, not fragile, is the real problem for most women.The July Forever Strong Foundations Challenge begins July 6, 2026.

Ansiedade, insônia e tensão pré-menstrual podem parecer sintomas independentes, mas a Medicina Tradicional Chinesa oferece uma perspectiva diferente: esses sinais podem estar relacionados a um mesmo desequilíbrio no organismo.Neste vídeo, a Dra. Ana Cristina Machado explica como a Medicina Tradicional Chinesa compreende a conexão entre esses sintomas, mostrando por que uma abordagem integrativa busca identificar a causa dos desequilíbrios, em vez de tratar apenas as manifestações isoladas.Neste vídeo, você vai entender: Como a Medicina Tradicional Chinesa interpreta a ansiedade, a insônia e a tensão pré-menstrual. A relação entre esses sintomas sob a perspectiva da MTC. Por que a MTC busca identificar a origem dos desequilíbrios, e não apenas aliviar os sintomas. Como emoções, sono e ciclo menstrual podem estar conectados na visão da Medicina Chinesa.

Hello and welcome to today's solo episode!I recently came across two 2026 articles that really got me thinking about how menstrual pain may be the missing link in phase based training...and so I thought a podcast episode would be a good idea!In this episode, I discuss the overlooked impact of menstrual pain on female athletic performance, arguing that pain may be a more significant performance variable than hormonal cycle phases that currently receive much attention in sports science. My goal was to highlight that primary dysmenorrhea affects approximately 60% of female athletes, with 50-100% reporting performance limitations due to period pain, yet this issue is often addressed through medication rather than comprehensive treatment approaches. I wanted to emphasise that pelvic rehabilitation should be incorporated into discussions about menstrual cycle management, as pain affects brain processing, movement, breathing, and decision-making in ways that can substantially impact sporting performance. I propose a "menstrual audit" consisting of seven simple questions to better assess and address menstrual pain symptoms rather than focusing solely on cycle phases, and of course if you want to learn more...this is exactly why I created my online course "The Menstrual Detective" for clinicians and coaches working with female athletes - to improve menstrual literacy, to understand how to have the MC health conversation and how to identify and manage menstrual dysfunction - when it hurts, when it's too much and when it disappears. All the info is at CelebrateMuliebrity.com - or if you have questions about the course, you can find me on instagram at @michellelyons_muliebrityUntil next time, Onwards & Upwards!

Most health issues don't appear overnight. Long before a diagnosis is made, the body often provides subtle clues that something needs closer attention. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I talk with double board-certified fertility physician Dr. Natalie Crawford about her new book, The Fertility Formula, and why fertility and hormone health can reveal far more about your health than many people realize. We discuss: Why the menstrual cycle may be one of the clearest indicators of overall health How sleep, stress, and insulin resistance may be affecting your hormones The overlooked symptoms that may signal deeper dysfunction What many women get wrong about PCOS and hormone health Practical strategies to support fertility, reduce inflammation, and improve long-term health Health challenges don't begin when symptoms become impossible to ignore. They often start years earlier. Being able to recognize those signals is one of the most effective ways to take a proactive approach to your health. Looking for a place to start? My 10-Day Detox is designed to help reduce inflammation, reset your metabolism, and build a stronger foundation for long-term health.

Most women have been told their cycle is something to manage, track for fertility, or push through. What almost no one is saying is that your cycle is a second biological clock running inside your body at all times. The circadian rhythm is roughly 24 hours and is governed by light. The infradian rhythm is roughly 28 days and is governed by the menstrual cycle. Men have one main rhythm. Women have two. This is not a flaw in our design. It is added intelligence. In this solo episode, Michelle walks you through what is actually happening underneath the surface of each phase. Your brain structure shifts across the cycle. Your immune system, metabolism, insulin sensitivity, microbiome, and nervous system are all moving with you. You will learn why the same stressor can feel completely different from one week to the next, why luteal phase cravings are real signals and not willpower failures, and how to begin matching your work, food, and rest to the phase you are actually in. Whether you are trying to conceive or simply want to stop fighting your own body, this episode offers a more accurate map of how you are designed to function.   Key Takeaways: Women have two main biological rhythms. The circadian rhythm is roughly 24 hours. The infradian rhythm is roughly 28 days and is governed by the menstrual cycle. Most lifestyle and research advice is built around the male 24-hour clock, which is part of why so many women feel exhausted. Your brain structure literally changes across the cycle. The hippocampus shifts in volume, connectivity between regions changes, and verbal fluency, spatial reasoning, and pain perception all move with the phases. Feeling like a different person at different times of the month is neurobiology, not emotional volatility. Your immune system is rhythmic. It is more active in the first half of the cycle and shifts after ovulation, when progesterone becomes mildly immunosuppressive to prepare the uterus for a possible embryo. This is why colds, autoimmune flares, and allergies can shift across the month. Basal metabolic rate rises slightly in the luteal phase, and insulin sensitivity changes. The same meal can land differently depending on where you are in your cycle. Luteal phase cravings are often a real signal of higher energy needs. The gut and vaginal microbiomes also shift cyclically with hormones. You are not a static system. Everything inside your body moves with you. Heart rate variability tends to be higher in the follicular phase and lower in the luteal phase. The same stressor can land very differently depending on when in the month it arrives. Your nervous system is operating from a different baseline. From a TCM perspective, the liver works harder in the luteal phase to prepare for menstruation, which can show up as more irritability, less energy, and stagnation when qi is not flowing freely. Working with the cycle is not just a fertility tool. It is a way of living that supports energy, focus, mood, and recovery across the entire month. Practical starting points: track more than your period (energy, sleep, mood, focus, hunger, stress response), match the work to the phase when possible, and eat in a way that responds to what your body is actually doing in each phase.   Host Bio: Michelle Oravitz, L.Ac., FABORM, is a board-certified fertility acupuncturist, Ayurvedic practitioner, and author of The Way of Fertility. She is the host of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, where she explores the intersection of Traditional Chinese Medicine, modern fertility science, nervous system health, and the deeper, often overlooked terrain of mind-body fertility. Through her clinical practice and online programs, Michelle works with women trying to conceive and with practitioners who want to bring a more holistic, integrated approach into their work.   Research and Resources Cited: Brain structure and function changes across the menstrual cycle (hippocampal volume) Cyclical changes in hippocampal volume across the menstrual cycle Menstrual cycle effects on cognition: verbal fluency and spatial reasoning Pain perception and threat sensitivity across the menstrual cycle Progesterone and immune modulation in the luteal phase Basal metabolic rate variation across the menstrual cycle Insulin sensitivity and the menstrual cycle Gut microbiome variation across the menstrual cycle Vaginal microbiome shifts across the menstrual cycle Heart rate variability across the menstrual cycle Cortisol and HPA axis response across the menstrual cycle   Disclaimer: The information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Instituto Alana, que tem status consultivo no Conselho Econômico e Social da ONU, está investindo US$ 60 milhões em pesquisa e ações de combate a cólicas menstruais e doenças como a endometriose; CEO Pedro Hartung afirma que o tema “também é assunto de homem”; entidade quer mudar percepção e erradicar tabu.

We would love to hear from you! Text "BBMFAM" to (312) 300-1300.A lot of products claim to be “game changers," but this one is literally patented. We're sitting down with Cecilia Towns-Scott, a south side Chicago attorney, founder, wife, and mom who spent ten years building Honor, a sustainable period and bladder leak brief designed for how life actually moves. Her innovation is simple to understand and hard to pull off: a reusable product with a removable liner, so you can swap a fresh one fast instead of feeling stuck all day.We talk about the real mechanics behind product development: trial and error, fabric testing, feedback from friends, funding wins and funding droughts, and the quiet moments when quitting feels logical. Cecilia also breaks down why “Honor Your Flow” is bigger than underwear. Menstrual health is tied to stress, food, movement, and the other 21 days around the actual menstruation, and the brand's mission is to replace embarrassment with education and confidence.Then, we zoom out into entrepreneurship strategy. Big box retail sounds like the dream, but retail readiness is a money and logistics game with pallets, shelf space fees, and inventory risks most people never hear about. We unpack why community partnerships, direct-to-consumer sales, and owning your IP first can protect both your margins and your mission. If you've been pushed out, laid off, or underestimated, Cecilia's advice is clear: "get mad, then build."Support the showTo connect further with me:Visit my website: Thel3agency.comConnect with me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thel3agencyFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/larvettaspeaks/Connect with me on Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/company/thel3agencyBe sure to follow our podcast on Instagram.

The All Local Afternoon Update for Tuesday, June 9th,2026

(00:00) — Pre-k graduation and "I want to be a baby doctor": Where the idea of medicine first appeared for Riya.(01:07) — Seventh-grade biology and Hashimoto's thyroiditis: The classroom moment that made medicine feel like a real possibility.(02:24) — Hospital volunteering in high school: First clinical exposure, patient interaction, and what sparked genuine interest.(04:57) — Discovering combined BSMD and BSDO programs: How Riya and her mom researched programs in eleventh grade and decided to pursue them.(06:45) — Reflecting on the accelerated path: Whether finishing undergrad in three years meant missing out.(07:15) — The MCAT decision: Why avoiding the MCAT was a meaningful factor in choosing a program.(09:12) — Applying to 23 schools: The breakdown of combined versus traditional applications and getting into four programs.(10:05) — Choosing between programs: Family proximity, location, and the DO philosophy as deciding factors.(10:54) — Why DO over MD: What the osteopathic mind-body-spirit philosophy and hands-on technique meant to her personally.(12:22) — Conditional acceptance pressure in undergrad: Carrying valedictorian stress into a three-year sprint.(13:42) — The hardest semester: o-chem, biochem, and anatomy simultaneously with three concurrent labs.(14:45) — Physical planners and time management: How Riya stayed on top of classes, tutoring, and two research projects.(15:33) — Finding The Premed Years on a two-hour drive: How the podcast became part of her routine.(17:10) — Medical school versus premed undergrad: Why the schedule now feels more manageable.(19:14) — Finding your own study method: Why copying what works for others often backfires.(24:19) — Menstrual health app, a thousand-dollar prize, and a TikTok research project: How curiosity led to unexpected opportunities.(26:54) — Words for the stressed premed: Gratitude journals, getting back up, and holding on to small happy moments.Riya knew she wanted to be a doctor before she could fully explain what that meant. By eleventh grade she was researching combined BSDO and BSMD programs with her mom, and she eventually applied to around fifteen of them alongside traditional schools. She got into four combined programs and chose a three-plus-four DO pathway that let her stay near family during undergrad before moving states for medical school. The cost was real: she finished prerequisites in three years, took organic chemistry, biochemistry, and anatomy in the same semester with three concurrent labs, tutored classmates, and ran two research projects simultaneously. She also drove two hours home most weekends and, on those drives, found this podcast. Now in medical school and studying for Step, Riya reflects on choosing DO over MD, what the osteopathic philosophy genuinely gave her, and why she has no regrets about any of it. She talks honestly about the stress of a conditional acceptance, the trial and error of finding a study method that actually works, and how keeping a gratitude journal got her through a brutal first semester away from family.What You'll Learn:- How combined BSMD and BSDO programs work and what it actually takes to stay in one through undergrad.- Why one student chose a DO program over MD programs she was also accepted to, and what that decision has meant in practice.- How to manage an overwhelming premed course load using intentional time planning rather than sheer willpower.- Why finding your own study method matters more than copying the approaches that work for classmates.- How following genuine curiosity across research, hackathons, and extracurriculars can open doors that a straight-line approach would miss.

Dr. Yana Aznavour, CEO and Founder of Endometrics, discusses the significant diagnostic delay women face with endometriosis due to non-specific symptoms and the current reliance on invasive surgery for a definitive diagnosis. The company has developed a non-invasive at-home diagnostic test that uses menstrual blood to analyze a five-gene biomarker signature with high accuracy.  This objective, molecular-based test shortens the time to the correct treatment and changes the dynamic of the patient-doctor conversation. Yana explains, "We are developing non-invasive diagnostic tests, and we are primarily addressing the huge diagnostic delay that our patients, women, face, unfortunately. This happens because there are tons of non-specific symptoms and inconclusive imaging findings, and women face unnecessary appointments and procedures before reaching the point of definitive diagnosis. We are working rigorously towards bringing non-invasive, highly reliable diagnostic tests to help women get clarity and answers behind their symptoms way earlier in the journey."   "Menstrual pain and pain in general that women try to express and define at physician's appointments, it's being dismissed because they try to explain that, but in many cases, they cannot find exactly where it hurts, especially in endometriosis. Due to this, unfortunately, at the primary care level and the non-OB/GYN level, they're being dismissed and repeatedly misdiagnosed for years. The key reason is the non-specific symptoms because symptoms like pelvic pain and pain with urination overlap with the list of diagnoses. Currently, the definitive diagnosis for endometriosis is achieved through surgery. Nobody would do surgery after the first appointment. So, endometriosis becomes a diagnosis of exclusion, unfortunately, and it takes years before patients receive the final diagnosis." #Endometrics #Endometriosis, #WomensHealth, #Biomarkers, #Diagnostics, #FemTech #Gynecology #PrecisionMedicine endometrics.us Download the transcript here

In this episode, Maggie McDaris, CEO and Co-Founder of Phase, breaks down the science and practical application of cycle syncing, explaining how each phase of the menstrual cycle influences energy, cognition, productivity, and overall performance. She walks listeners through the follicular, ovulatory, luteal, and menstrual phases, highlighting the unique strengths and challenges of each stage, including the often-overlooked immune and recovery considerations during the luteal phase. Maggie also explores the role of dopamine, healthy ways to pursue motivation and achievement, and how understanding your biology can help prevent burnout in a culture that often expects women to perform the same way every day. The conversation addresses the stigma surrounding menstrual cycles, the importance of involving men in the discussion, and how cycle awareness impacts sleep, circadian rhythms, and workplace success. Maggie concludes by sharing actionable tips for getting started with cycle syncing and explains how the Phase app helps women align their schedules with their biology to optimize health, productivity, and sustainable performance.Maggie McDaris is the CEO and Co-Founder of Phase and a thought leader at the intersection of human performance and the future of work. A Registered Dietitian, corporate wellness and public health expert, and WELL Accredited Professional, she has spent more than a decade translating health science into practical strategies for real life and work. Before founding Phase, Maggie scaled high-growth wellness businesses and led multidisciplinary teams, gaining a firsthand view of how modern work routinely ignores human biology. That insight became the foundation for Phase, a biology-based productivity system designed to help women connect the dots between their bodies and their workload. Maggie is skilled at turning deep wellness expertise into high-impact, revenue-generating solutions, and she's on a mission to fundamentally reframe how we think about productivity, performance, and sustainable success.

This episode breaks down the hormone-mood connection, explains the phases of the menstrual cycle and what's happening neurochemically in each, and explores how menstrual tracking can be used as a clinical tool to identify patterns, differentiate conditions, and guide care.---Nurses may be able to complete an accredited CE activity featuring content from this podcast and earn CE hours provided from Elite Learning by Colibri Healthcare.

In this episode we talk about Nicole and I's shared history working in television production, how burnout and health challenges led her to leave the entertainment industry, and the path that eventually led her into women's health. We get into hormones, birth control, cycle literacy, and why so many women grow up completely disconnected from what their bodies are actually doing. Nicole explains why doctors often prescribe the pill as a quick fix instead of addressing root causes, how women are frequently dismissed when advocating for their health, and why learning to understand your cycle can change the way you approach energy, relationships, sex, and overall wellbeing.

About the Guest(s): Dr. Kristin Hieshetter is a dedicated functional health expert and seasoned podcast host who is deeply invested in women's health, longevity, and fertility. With a rich background in functional medicine, Dr. Hieshetter blends her professional expertise with personal insights, being a mother herself, steeped in a family history of strong, long-lived women. Her mission is to raise awareness on critical issues like hormonal health and its relation to women's overall well-being and societal health. Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of Functional Health Radio, Dr. Kristin Hieshetter delves into the intricate world of women's health and fertility. Drawing on both personal and professional insight, she emphasizes the importance of understanding women's hormonal cycles as a key indicator of health and longevity. With an emphasis on how these cycles influence not just individual well-being but also societal health at large, Dr. Hieshetter offers a nuanced look at topics like the early onset of puberty, menstrual irregularities, and the role of societal factors in women's reproductive health. As the discussion unfolds, Dr. Hieshetter unveils startling statistics from recent studies on early menstruation onset and its health implications. Emphasizing the impact of environmental factors and lifestyle choices on reproductive health, she urges listeners to look beyond conventional wisdom and explore how modern lifestyles and diets may be affecting our biological systems. Dr. Hieshetter concludes with a powerful call to action, encouraging both women and men to become informed and proactive in their health choices, promising future episodes focused on men's health to ensure a balanced discourse. Key Takeaways: Hormonal cycles are integral not only to women's health but also to societal longevity and quality of life, serving as vital signs of overall health. There has been a significant shift in the onset of puberty, with critical implications for girls' long-term health, as influenced by obesity and environmental toxins. Early onset of puberty is associated with increased risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and bone fractures, highlighting the need for further study and awareness. The use of hormonal contraceptives in young female athletes, while often for menstrual regulation, may contribute to an increased risk of bone stress injuries. The pervasive influence of environmental contaminants and diet on hormonal health and reproductive capabilities demands urgent attention and systemic change. Notable Quotes: "Women's health is a critical player in the survival of humanity." "If you don't have healthy women, you're not going to have healthy babies." "Menstrual cycles are a vital sign, the biggest predictor of health and longevity in society." "Children should have a childhood free of health issues influenced heavily by dietary and environmental factors." "We've been propagandized to ingest things that aren't good for us, relying on medications for maladies preventable by lifestyle changes."
