Podcasts about menstrual health

In this episode, Dr Julie Greeves, principal physiologist for the British Army and expert in applied human physiology, shares groundbreaking research on female soldier health, injury prevention, and performance optimisation. Dr. Greeves unpacks the Women in Ground Close Combat research program, and explains what it tells us about physical performance, load carriage and reproductive health. Listeners from defence, sports, or health sciences will benefit from these insights, which can help tailor training and policies for women in demanding environments. We discuss the implementation of physical employment standards, the importance of nutrition, menstrual health and sleep for female soldiers, and the steps required to help women thrive in strenuous roles within the military.Key Takeaways:Development and implementation of gender-specific physical employment standards and their impact on female recruitment.Physiological differences between men and women: skeletal structure, muscle mass, cardiovascular capacity, and susceptibility to injury.Injury risk factors: higher stress fractures and bone injuries in women, especially during initial training phases.Benefits of female physiology: metabolic advantages, increased fat oxidation during prolonged submaximal exercise, and potential to reduce injury risk with appropriate systems.The myth of training around the menstrual cycle and its practical, science-backed inaccuracy.Hormonal fluctuations, menstrual health, contraceptive use, and their impacts on performance and injury risk.The importance of micronutrients like iron and calcium for women in military settings.The role of sleep, stress, and the gut-brain axis in psychological health and performance, with sex differences in cortisol responses.Practical advice for individuals preparing for arduous training: targeted load carriage, resistance, nutrition, and tracking menstrual health.Guest:Julie is the Head of Army Health and Performance Research in the British Army. After obtaining her doctorate in female physiology, Julie has spent over 25 years pioneering original research on musculoskeletal health and human performance in the military. Julie's research has widely informed Army and Defence policies, and she was decorated with an OBE in 2017 for her scientific contribution to the opening of Ground Close Combat roles to women. Julie holds honorary Chair appointments at the School of Medicine UEA and UCL and has published over 140 original papers in peer-reviewed journals.Hosted by Martin Jones & Jonpaul Nevin https://www.ophp.co.uk Produced & edited by Bess ManleyResources:https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-greeves-obe-facsm-60170a52/?originalSubdomain=ukhttps://scholar.google.com/citations?user=RgILbTUAAAAJ&hl=en Arduous Training Guide for Women – coming soon!Chapters:00:13 Julie's Career Journey and Current Role02:06 Women in Ground Close Combat Research Program04:39 Implementing Research Findings in the Army08:41 Physical Differences and Injury Risks for Women12:02 Benefits of Female Physiology in the Military16:17 Training and the Menstrual Cycle22:58 Analysing Data on Muscle Performance and Bone Health23:12 Informed Decisions on Contraceptives and Training23:57 Tactical Decisions Around Menstrual Cycle24:17 Understanding RED-S in Military Context25:13 Energy Deficiency and Logistical Challenges26:52 Impact of Sleep on Reproductive Health29:16 Psychological Health and Stress Responses33:14 Nutritional Needs and Training Recommendations36:09 Empowering Women Through Menstrual Health Tracking38:33 Future Research and Implementation42:46 Final Thoughts and Closing RemarksWomen can absolutely thrive in demanding military and sporting environments if they get the right training, nutrition, sleep, and monitor their menstrual health.

The Supreme Court's landmark judgement recognising the right to menstrual health and hygiene as a fundamental right grabbed headlines all of last week. Why was this recognition needed? Because thousands of girls continue to drop out of school every year in our country due to a lack of clean, safe toilets with access to running water. And because periods continue to be shrouded in stigma and silence despite nearly half the population of the country experiencing them.What exactly does the judgement state? How important is it to sensitise boys and start conversations in schools? And how does period poverty impact women across the board in India?  Guest: Poonam Muttreja, executive director, Population Foundation of India Host: Zubeda Hamid Edited by Sharmada Venkatasubramanian Learn more about your ad choices.

In a landmark judgment on Friday, the Supreme Court of India declared that menstrual health was part of the fundamental right to life under the Indian Constitution. The apex court ruled that every girl student in India should have access to free sanitary pads and functional, gender-segregated toilets at schools. So why is it considered a landmark judgment?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textThe follicular phase, pre-ovulation and ovulation phases are often framed as phases to push yourself, meet goals and do hard workouts before the slump of luteal hits. However, is the lifestyle approach of cycle syncing oversimplifying complex physiological systems, and leading the menstrual and ovulatory dysregulation?In this episode, I explore a new science-backed theory of cycle syncing. Let's look at what's actually happening hormonally and neurologically during this phase, and why this differs widely from person to person.Rather than idealising pre-ovulation as a “green light” phase, this conversation invites a more attentive approach - one that recognises complex biological systems. If you've ever felt pressured to maximise or optimise your life in the first half of your cycle, this episode is for you, and suggests a different approach, grounded in physiology and evidence.I hope you enjoy the episode.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Chris Bobel, one of the most influential (scholarly) voices in menstrual activism and critical menstruation studies. For more than twenty years, Chris has been pushing the boundaries of how we understand menstruation - not just as a biological event, but as a powerful lens into culture, politics, and social justice. Our conversation explores how menstrual health sits at the intersection of human rights, feminist activism, and collective liberation, and why examining the systems and stories that surround our bodies matters more than ever.Chris Bobel is a Professor of Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Since 2003, Chris has been a pathbreaking scholar of menstrual activism, exploring how menstrual health is a matter of both human rights and reproductive justice. As past president of the Society for Menstrual Cycle Research and frequent media consultant on menstrual activism, Chris unites feminist thinking with feminist doing. Her major publications in this area include New Blood: Third Wave Feminism and the Politics of Menstruation and The Managed Body: Developing Girls and Menstrual Health in the Global South. Her co-edited open-access Palgrave Handbook of Critical Menstruation Studies has been downloaded over 3 million times worldwide. In this conversation we talked about:

Everything went wrong before this interview even started: lagging audio, frozen screens, “Can you hear me?” chaos… which, honestly, became the perfect metaphor for today's topic: women being told to accept dysfunction as normal.And fittingly, this conversation marks a huge milestone — our 200th episode! Two hundred episodes of unlearning, reframing, and giving women permission to trust their bodies. And today's guest delivers exactly that kind of truth.Because once Nicole Jardim (women's health coach + author of Fix Your Period) finally got connected, she dropped a truth bomb most women never hear:

How safe are our period products, really? Charlie speaks with campaigner Helen Lynn from the Women's Environmental Network (WEN) about new findings that detected glyphosate and other concerning chemicals in mainstream tampons and pads — products placed against one of the body's most absorbent tissues. We unpack why period products are barely regulated, how plastics, fragrances and “antimicrobial” additives creep in, and the real-world health implications of endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Helen offers a clear hierarchy of safer options (from certified-organic disposables to cups, discs, pants and reusable pads), plus practical advice for school education, tackling stigma, and reducing waste and cost. We also touch on period poverty, environmental justice, and why women and marginalised communities are disproportionately affected — along with smart ways to push for better policy and industry change. Small swaps add up; informed voices change systems.Guest: Helen Lynn — Women's Environmental Network (WEN) TopicsWhat recent testing found in period products and why it mattersThe regulation gap (general product safety vs cosmetics-style prohibitions)Hidden ingredients: plastics, rayon, fragrances, PFAS, “antimicrobial” finishesAbsorption via vaginal tissue and why location of use is criticalA practical hierarchy of safer choices (reusables and certified-organic disposables)Period poverty, cost over a lifetime, and waste reductionEducation, stigma, and how behaviours shift (e.g., at university)Environmental justice: who is most exposed, who is least heardHow to get involved: consumer choices, community action, policy changePractical swaps (start here)Prefer certified-organic tampons/pads for single-useIf reusable:Menstrual cups/discs: medical-grade silicone, no additivesPeriod pants: avoid “anti-odour/antimicrobial” claims; choose plain fabricsReusable pads: undyed natural fibres; wash-care extends lifeReduce fragranced products across the home and bodyNever flush pads/tampons; bin to prevent blockages/fatbergsCalls to actionSupport campaigns for a Menstrual Health, Dignity & Sustainability ActAsk brands for full ingredient transparency and PFAS-free linesShare this episode with a parent, teacher or youth workerResources mentionedWomen's Environmental Network (WEN) — campaigns, school workshops, reportsPesticide Action Network (PAN) — pesticide policy and researchMenzie Project —Get in touch Thanks for listening to the Healthy Home Show Podcast.

How can a reusable pad company address education, employment, and environmental waste simultaneously? In this episode, Madhvi Dalal, founder of PadMad, talks about why and how she built a social enterprise to tackle period poverty in Kenya, a country where 65% of women and girls cannot afford menstrual products. This crisis leads to girls missing school and exams, forces them to improvise pads with unhygienic materials, and leaves them exposed to be taken advantage of. Madhvi walks us through PadMad's three-pillar focus: education, running workshops in schools and workplaces to break stigma and provide information. Empowerment, employing marginalised women to manufacture the pads. And environment, creating reusable pads from textile waste to reduce plastic pollution. You'll also hear how this model has scaled to impact over 150,000 people and prevented millions of disposable pads from polluting Kenya's environment.

In this episode, sports dietician Lindsey Elizabeth Cortes addresses common concerns about food-related stress and holiday weight gain for female athletes, advocating for a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity. Lindsey emphasizes the importance of integrating holiday foods into a balanced diet rather than restricting or overindulging.   Her two main tips are to shift to an abundant mindset, recognizing that holiday foods are available year-round, and to work these foods into daily nutrition plans. She also stresses the importance of other health aspects like managing stress, sleep, and staying hydrated and active. The episode aims to help female athletes enjoy holiday foods without guilt and maintain their wellness.   Episode Highlights: 01:22 The Impact of Menstrual Health on Performance 03:00 Holiday Nutrition Challenges 06:51 Navigating Holiday Food Anxiety 09:27 Tips for Balanced Holiday Eating 32:11 Managing Stress, Sleep, and Hydration 37:06 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Resources and Links: For more information about the show, head to work with Lindsey on improving your nutrition, head to: http://www.lindseycortes.com/ Join REDS Recovery Membership: http://www.lindseycortes.com/reds WaveBye Supplements – Menstrual cycle support code LindseyCortes for 15% off: http://wavebye.co Previnex Supplements – Joint Health Plus, Muscle Health Plus, plant-based protein, probiotics, and more; code riseup for 15% off: previnex.com Female Athlete Nutrition Podcast Archive & Search Tool – Search by sport, condition, or topic: lindseycortes.com/podcast Female Athlete Nutrition Community – YouTube, Instagram @‌femaleathletenutrition, and private Facebook group

On this Line One, host Dr. Jillian Woodruff talks about women's health—from heavy periods to polycystic ovary syndrome and menopause.

Starting in her teenage years, Kate Helen Downey's menstrual cycle was extremely painful. In her adult life, she received an endometriosis diagnosis, which can cause severe menstrual pain. Kate, host and producer of the podcast CRAMPED, sits down with us to share about her experience and encourage everyone to talk about their period pain. Kate's podcast, CRAMPED, seeks to explore more about why the medical system—and all of us—know next to nothing about period pain. Many people learn about menstruation through movies and TV, where a young girl getting her period for the first time is the primary representation of menstrual health. Rarely do we see reliable depiction of the pain that comes with menstruation. Talking openly with your friends and loved ones about the experience of menstruating can help us destigmatize periods, understand our own pain, understand other people's pain, comfort one another, and heal.Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Buy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Dubbed the “architect of the U.S. policy campaign to squash the tampon tax,” Jennifer is the author of Periods Gone Public and serves as VP at the Brennan Center for Justice.

Elite athletes including Simone Biles, Caitlin Clark, Serena Williams, and many others are having a significant impact on culture, and more women than ever are participating in both professional and recreational sports. Earlier this year, Russ sat down with Dr. Emily Kraus to talk about the future of female athletic health and we're re-running the episode today. She shared a number of key differences between women and men in sport, and illuminates that these differences are vastly understudied, though she's working to close that gap. This is an episode we shared with a number of athletes we know, and we hope you'll do the same.Have a question for Russ?

She is an actress whose credits include Chicago Med, Good Trouble, and the reboot of MacGyver. She's a passionate unionist and serves on the board of directors of the Los Angeles local of SAG-AFTRA. Her story isn't just about making it in the entertainment industry—it's about breaking through barriers, both systemic and personal, and redefining what success looks like when life throws you curveballs. For over a decade, Kate silently struggled with endometriosis, a chronic condition that affects millions of women but is notoriously difficult to diagnose. Like so many others, she was dismissed by doctors, told that her pain was “normal,” and forced to keep pushing forward—because when you're trying to build a career in Hollywood, there's no calling in sick.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Happy Monday, friend! This week, I have a special guest chatting with me about ADHD, motherhood and menstrual health issues. Yes, all those things packed into this great, big episode!  I know you'll be encouraged by this conversation, because I was. I felt so very validated and affirmed in my own wellness journey, and I pray the same for you!  Happy listening! Lauren Annie: "Hello, my name is Annie de Villiers, and I am 42-years young and was diagnosed with ADHD in 2018, when I was 35. I am a qualified foundation phase teacher but currently only homeschool my own two children. This year, 2025, I am blessed to be married for 17 years. We live in Pretoria, South Africa and I definitely am one of those people who value the sun in my life. Over the years I have had to learn to not just cope with my ADHD, but live a life where I bloom. Our ADHD brains are so powerful and unique but untrained and neglected. We often struggle to a point it starts to drain us. Coping with a monthly menstrual cycle with all the changes and challenges it brings takes intentionality. Developing some healthy habits in my every day life has helped to lift the heaviness of the effects of my menstrual cycle."   Have questions or want to carry on with this conversation?

Nicole Jardim is a Certified Women's Health Coach, the Author of Fix Your Period, and the host of the Period Party podcast. She has developed education and offerings that empower women to reclaim their hormone health using a method that combines evidence-based information with simplicity and sass. Her work has impacted the lives of tens of thousands of people around the world by addressing the root cause of what's really going on in their bodies and minds rather than treating just their symptoms. She passionately believes that the fundamentals to healing any hormone imbalance lie in addressing the unique physiology of every woman.  Nicole is also the founder of the Institute for Menstrual Health, which offers training programs, mentorship and resources for an international community of women's health practitioners and coaches. Through its signature program the Women's Hormone Health Certification, Nicole teaches other health practitioners and coaches the fundamentals of hormones, menstrual cycles and fertility. Her expertise has been featured in The Guardian, Well+Good, mindbodygreen and Healthline. So, Nicole and I have known each other for over a decade now. Back in the day, we both lived in NYC and had a really great mutual circle of friends. And she was actually the first guest I ever had on the show when it started in 2018.  I'm so excited to have her back and for you to listen in on this very honest conversation about what it takes to build a business in the wellness space, and all of the hardships that challenged Nicole along the way that built her resolve and success. In this episode, we chat about how she stays motivated and inspired by her work in the realm of women's health and continues to make an impact in that world after more than a decade, her journey landing an amazing book deal and then writing the book, and how it forced her to sacrifice her health and her business in the process, what it was like to navigate the women's health space on social media during COVID, get attacked by the mob, and building a thriving platform in the face of it all, the inner strength and resolve she's built to stay committed to her unique path as an expert and how she teaches other women in the industry to do the same, and so much more!   To learn more about Nicole Jardim and the resources mentioned in this episode, visit the show notes.   Follow Me On: Facebook Instagram
