Podcasts about Menstruation

Microgravity causes a ton of changes in the human body and there's been a lot of research showing how these changes affect astronauts. One bodily function that hasn't been studied during an active space mission? Menstruation. This episode, Dr. Samantha Yammine is joined by Manju Bangalore, an astronaut-in-training and reproductive scientist aiming to research how the human body menstruates while in microgravity. But there's other space news in the science world so before that, Sam explores what it will take for NASA to build a nuclear reactor on the moon. Later, she looks into how some asteroids contain the raw ingredients for DNA and RNA.

Rest and recreation are essential tools for resilience and good mental health as they help support the biological rhythms your body is already running. We'll dig into these rhythms more in this episode by breaking down three layers of the body's natural cycles: Ultradian rhythms (the short cycles within each day), circadian rhythms (24 hour cycle), and infradian rhythms (longer cycles like menstruation and seasonal changes). The practical thread through all three is the same: manage energy, not time. Notice your rhythm and do your best to honor what your body is telling you.   Note: This is an encore episode, originally aired during Joy Lab's Roots of Resilience Series (Element: Resilience). It's replaying here to close the month of Re-Creation because it goes straight to the biological foundation of why rest and recreation aren't optional extras — they are literally built into your body. As Aimee puts it in her intro: these rhythms are not something to fight. They're something to come home to.   About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

Joy Lab episodes referenced: Joy Lab Podcast #13 (The Roots of Resilience) This episode is a broad overview of what we'll be talking about over the next 9 episodes. It's a really helpful summary!  Roots of Resilience Series starts with episode #53: Roots of Resilience Chemistry of Calm (Dr. Emmons' book referenced in this series) The 20 Minute Break (book) Linnaeus' Flower Clock How does the brain deal with cumulative stress? A review with focus on developmental stress, HPA axis function and hippocampal structure in humans Cumulative Stress and Health   Questions this episode was made for:   Q: Why do I crash mid-afternoon and feel like I can't focus no matter how hard I try? A: That's your ultradian rhythm doing exactly what it's designed to do. This episode explains the 60-to-90-minute focus window, why pushing through leads to a steeper crash, and what a 15-to-20-minute break actually does to restore your brain's capacity.   Q: Could my sleep or stress problems be connected to my hormones being out of rhythm? A: It's certainly possible. This episode walks through how cortisol fluctuates naturally across 24 hours, what happens when that pattern gets disrupted by chronic stress (including the classic 3 AM wake-up), and how protecting your sleep is the single most powerful thing you can do to help let your system rebalance itself.    Key moments: [00:00] Aimee's intro to the encore: this episode closes the month of Re-Creation by grounding rest in biology — rhythms aren't optional, they're built in [01:00] Welcome — the Element of Resilience, Roots of Resilience Series, third root: aligning with nature [01:30] Henry: bio-rhythms might be the most important and most easily ignored root of resilience [02:00] Natural world runs on cycles — plants and animals fall in line naturally; humans have the choice to ignore or fight them  [03:00] Inside the body: hormones, energy, focus, and mood are all directly shaped by these rhythms [03:30] Depression can be a problem with internal timing — getting out of sync with bio-rhythms; Chronobiology and body-clock research: a booming field; SAD as a familiar example of seasonal rhythm [04:30] Three rhythms to cover: ultradian (under 24 hours), circadian (24 hours), infradian (more than 24 hours) [05:00] Ultradian rhythms: most overlooked, most ignored in the typical workday; What we do instead: push through, reach for sugar or caffeine, experiment with nootropics — when the body is asking for a break [07:00] Henry: managing energy rather than time — noticing when you're fading and honoring it early before the crash [08:00] Dr. Anders Ericsson's violinist study: comparing professional soloists with good-but-not-great performers [10:00] The lesson: excellence came from tending to rhythms, not from fighting through them — more practice was possible because of better recovery [10:30] Transition to circadian rhythms — sleep is the big one here [11:30] Henry: sleep might be the best mood stabilizer available — the research is unambiguous; People with depression + sleep problems who improve their sleep double their chances of recovery [12:00] People without depression who develop sleep problems double their risk of becoming depressed [12:30] Cortisol fluctuates naturally over 24 hours — lowest during deep sleep, starts rising around 3–4 AM, peaks in morning, dips post-lunch, rises again mid-afternoon, declines through evening [13:30] The post-lunch cortisol dip: a natural signal for rest, a walk, or a nap [14:00] The HPA axis (hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal): when this gets out of sync, depression can follow [14:30] Aimee: the 3–4 AM cortisol surge — when under stress, that's exactly when people wake up and can't get back to sleep [15:30] Mood problems can arise or worsen from fighting these natural cycles — enormous friction and energy wasted [16:00] Ways to tap into circadian rhythm: notice the animals and nature around you — dogs, chickens, birds, flowers [17:30] Light exposure: get bright light in the first 1–2 hours after waking; dim lights significantly in the evening [18:00] In winter: dawn simulator or bright light device in the morning; 15-minute session around 5 PM to help set sleep timing [20:00] Adrenal fatigue: when stress goes on long enough, adrenal glands become overtaxed — a state of profound depletion, controversial but real [20:30] Possible connection to long COVID — a pattern Henry has seen clinically [21:30] Infradian rhythms: cycles longer than 24 hours — less obvious but powerful when you become aware of them [22:00] Two key infradian rhythms for mental health: menstruation and seasonal affective disorder [22:30] Menstruation: predictable changes in mood, energy, and sleep — part of a sophisticated, elegant cycle [24:30] Seasonal depression: root cause is the change in circadian rhythm — shorter days disrupt bio-rhythms [25:00] Henry's short course on SAD: convince your body it's not the middle of winter — bright light early and late, fresh light foods, keep moving [26:00] Closing wisdom from Lao-Tzu: "Nature does not hurry.

Viele Frauen kennen es: Während ihrer Periode leiden sie unter Bauch- oder Kopfschmerzen, Schlafmangel oder Konzentrationsproblemen. Im Job sprechen die wenigsten offen darüber, aus Scham oder Angst vor negativen Reaktionen. Dabei könnte ein offenerer Umgang mit dem Thema nicht nur betroffenen Frauen helfen, sondern auch zum Beispiel den Arbeitgebenden. Denn die verschiedenen Phasen des weiblichen Zyklus wirken sich auch auf Energie, Konzentration und Leistungsfähigkeit aus. Wie genau? In welcher Zyklusphase sind Frauen besonders leistungsfähig? Wann nicht? Wie ist das eigentlich bei Männern? Und was braucht es, damit offener über Menstruation gesprochen werden kann? Darüber spricht Kultur- und Lifestyleredaktorin Lisa Füllemann in einer neuen Folge des täglichen Podcasts «Apropos». Sie erklärt, wie sich die Menstruation auf den Arbeitsalltag auswirkt – und warum es sich lohnen könnte, den weiblichen Zyklus stärker mitzudenken.

From the WOMENdontDOthat vault, Stephanie Mitton revisits a deeply personal conversation about periods, parenting, and changing the stories girls inherit about their bodies. Growing up, Stephanie and her cousin had a code word for their periods. They called them “friends,” a small example of how early many girls learn to whisper about something completely normal. Years later, as her own daughter approached her first period, Stephanie decided she wanted to do things differently. This episode covers: Why so many of us grew up hiding or whispering about our periods Stephanie's own experiences with painful periods, endometriosis, and hormone-induced migraines How she prepared her daughter for her first period The simple tradition they created to make the milestone feel meaningful Why small rituals can help change the stories we pass on to the next generation Creating more open conversations about women's bodies Giving our daughters, and ourselves, permission to experience womanhood without shame This episode is not about pretending periods are easy. It is about making room for honesty, connection, and a little joy alongside the hard parts. Whether you're raising a daughter, mentoring a young woman, or reflecting on your own experience, this conversation is a reminder that we can change how the next generation experiences these milestones. Sometimes rewriting the story starts with an honest conversation and a piece of chocolate cake. ://www.patreon.com/womendontdothat Instagram - http://www.instagram.com/womendontdothat/ TikTok- http://www.tiktok.com/@womendontdothat Blog- https://www.womendontdothat.com/blog Podcast- https://www.womendontdothat.com/podcast Newsletter- https://www.beaconnorthstrategies.com/contactwww.womendontdothat.com YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/@WOMENdontDOthat How to find Stephanie Mitton: Twitter/X- https://twitter.com/StephanieMitton LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniemitton/ beaconnorthstrategies.com TikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@stephmitton Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/stephaniemitton/ Interested in sponsorship?

Pourquoi nous avons appris à ignorer nos rythmes ? Et comment les retrouver ?Dans cet épisode, je reçois de nouveau Céline-Marie Vidal, volcanologue, directrice de recherches au CNRS, professeure de yoga et accompagnante du féminin, formée à la Red School et auteur du livre "Le secret du Temple".Cette fois, Céline-Marie nous offre un échange profond autour de la sagesse cyclique des femmes et de notre relation au corps.Nous discutons notamment de ce moment où on réalise que l'on ne comprend plus son propre corps, parce que nous en sommes bien souvent déconnectées. Mais aussi de ces cycles qu'on ne nous a jamais appris à lire ou encore de cette déconnexion, souvent silencieuse, entre nous et notre nature.L'axe principal de notre conversation se situe alors autour du :cycle comme boussolesang comme langagecorps comme mémoireNous ne manquons pas de questionner la place des femmes dans une société construite sur des rythmes linéaires, où le repos et les fluctuations du vivant sont peu reconnus voire méconnus.Un épisode intime, politique et profondément humain.-> Retrouvez les épisodes, les ressources et le journal sur mamelles.fr.Hébergé par Ausha.

Today we're having a fascinating conversation with the woman who pioneered the role of intimacy co-ordinator in TV, film, opera and theatre. Ita O'Brien has worked on numerous high-profile productions including Sex Education on Netflix, and I May Destroy You on the BBC, and is the founder of the Intimacy on Set guidelines which have been widely adopted across the industry, advocating for safe, fair and dignified work.Ita recently took all of her learnings and experience, and she's shared them in her brilliant book, Intimacy: A field guide to finding connection and feeling your deep desires. Today we explore the vital role that an intimacy co-ordinator plays, and why safe, honouring and real-life depictions of sex on screen are so vital. We also draw on Ita's wisdom around listening to our bodies in order to create deeper intimacy with ourselves and others, the need for all of us to understand the cyclical anatomy of female arousal and why we need more women writers creating truthful intimate scenes for women and people who menstruate.We explore:Ita's experience of being an intimacy co-ordinator on trailblazing scenes involving period sex in Michaela Coel's I May Destroy You.The importance of true consent, and how to access the power of no in intimacy, so that we can find our true yes. The archetype of the enchantress and how she can support our intimacy explorations as we approach, move through and enter our third act post menopause.---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.

Genau vor 100 Jahren entdeckte der finnische Internist Erik von Willebrand die nach ihm benannte seltene Blutgerinnungsstörung. Martin und Daniel nehmen dieses Jubiläum zum Anlass, mit der renommierten Expertin, Frau Dr. Susan Halimeh vom Duisburger Gerinnungszentrum Rhein-Ruhr, über die Erkrankung zu sprechen. Eine Krankheit, die sich bei Mädchen und Frauen häufig durch massive und oft langandauernde Regelblutungen zeigt. Eine gravierende Leitsymptomatik, die allerdings auch heute noch viel zu oft als Tabu gilt und selbst von Ärztinnen und Ärzten bagatellisiert wird.

Although the inner summer of the menstrual cycle has a reputation for being easy-breezy, for some of us, this can be a real hotspot in the cycle month. So, this episode is for you if the ovulatory cycle phase is intense or overwhelming, or you feel a sense of pressure to show up and ‘get shit done' inside an already over-full life. It's also for you if inner summer brings a sense of being all dressed up for the party, with nowhere to go if you have lots of creative, sexual or social energy but you don't know where to direct it, or if ovulation brings disconnection and grief due to challenges with trying to conceive.Through our personal stories as well as generous shares from the Red School community, we explore the challenges of inner summer, and how to reframe them as meaningful limits that support us to access the power of the ovulatory phase. We also explore the cyclical self care practice which can support us to claim and show ourselves exactly as we are in inner summer. We explore:Sjanie's ongoing journey with visibility in inner summerWhat Alexandra has discovered about the libratory power of limits, as a post-menopausal women.How to grow the emotional muscles of allowing more and more of yourself to exist and be seen in the world, as you truely are. ---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.

"The fertile intelligence of all life begins in the dark. And our feminine bodies know this more than anything."In this episode, we explore the living terrain of the Dark — not as something to fear, fix, or illuminate, but as a place of deep feminine wisdom.Together we journey through the parallels between Winter, menstruation, the dark moon, and the unseen processes of becoming. We explore what becomes accessible when we slow down, soften our grip on constant doing, and allow ourselves to enter the fertile mystery that lives beneath the surface of modern life.This conversation is an invitation to reclaim the intelligence of darkness, deepen your relationship with Winter, and remember the ancient wisdom your body already knows.Inside this episode:• The deeper meaning of the Winter Solstice and why it has been honoured across cultures for thousands of years• Darkness as a realm of mystery, gestation, intuition, and creation• Why modern culture struggles with stillness, rest, uncertainty, and the unseen• The relationship between women, the feminine, and the wisdom of the dark• Menstruation as an initiation into our Inner Winter and cyclical descent• How truth, intuition, and deeper knowing often emerge during times of darkness• What circadian biology teaches us about our innate relationship with light and dark• Why Winter asks us to move differently, conserve energy, and cultivate deeper listening• The fertile void and the feminine capacity to trust what has not yet taken form• The forgotten nourishment that darkness offers the nervous system, psyche, and bodyEPISODE RESOURCES:148.

What happens when the womb is treated as separate from the rest of women's health? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Kemi Doll, double board-certified gynecologic oncologist, equity scientist, researcher, coach, and author of A Terrible Strength: The Hidden Crisis of the Black Womb and Your Survival Guide to Healing, for a powerful conversation about womb health, uterine cancer, fibroids, HRT, health equity, and why so many women are still being taught to normalize symptoms that deserve care.Together, they explore why womb health is not only about pregnancy, fertility, or menopause, but a lifelong part of women's physical, emotional, hormonal, and whole-body health. Dr. Doll shares how her grandmother's death in childbirth, her mother's near-death experience, and her own work as a gynecologic cancer surgeon shaped her mission to bring the uterus back into the center of women's health.Dr. Taz and Dr. Doll also discuss why uterine cancer is rising, why Black women are twice as likely to die after a uterine cancer diagnosis, and how gaps in research, screening, and diagnostic tools may leave women of color especially vulnerable. They unpack the role of ultrasound, endometrial thickness, post-menopausal bleeding, and why women need clearer conversations with their providers when something feels off.This conversation also takes a closer look at the explosion of hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, and the questions every woman with a uterus should be asking. Dr. Doll explains why estrogen without proper progesterone protection can increase uterine cancer risk, why some women may not understand the role progesterone plays, and why monitoring the uterus matters when using hormones.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

We've all been through puberty. It was sometimes traumatic, mostly awkward, it even had its endearing moments - and going through it shaped the way we think about ourselves and how we show up in the world. In this ep, you share your puberty war stories, and we investigate the mysterious phenomenon called ‘second puberty'. Because, jump scare, it might not be over. SHOW NOTES:What Happens When You Stop The Pill: https://www.webmd.com/sex/birth-control/stopping-pill-10-ways-body-changesSecond pubertyhttps://www.healthline.com/health/second-puberty#summaryDM us your thoughts, questions, topics, or to just vent at @triplejthehookup on IG or email us: thehookup@abc.net.auThe Hook Up is an ABC podcast, produced by triple j.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 5-21-2026: This is the second show featuring Mira Achilles, a UCSC graduate working on her masters in epidemiology. Dr. Dawn and Mira open with a Harvard study showing OpenAI's o1 reasoning model reached correct diagnoses 67% of the time versus 50-55% for physicians, and scored 89% versus 34% on treatment plans. The AI advantage shrinks when doctors get more data and time, suggesting its greatest value is in fast-moving triage. Dr. Dawn cautions that over-reliance on AI during residency could undermine the clinical reasoning neurologic pathways doctors must develop, and emphasizes the "zebra paradox"— rare diseases remain rare even when symptoms match the textbook. Dr. Dawn shares a personal case of a patient with throat shingles, leading her to use a medical AI (OpenEvidence) to investigate Shingrix risks. An Australian study found an elevenfold increase in shingles within 21 days of the first Shingrix dose in adults over 65, though dose two reduced overall risk by 73%. She explains this could be one of several things such as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), or that the AS01B vaccine adjuvant's strong activation may transiently reactivate latent virus, and recommends valacyclovir prophylaxis for high-risk patients for their first Shringrex shot.. Mira discusses AI in education, noting the shift from professors threatening plagiarism charges to teaching students how to critique AI output, emphasizing taking summaries "with a grain of salt." Dr. Dawn describes Chinese research scanning 1,154 children that identified a third ADHD subtype—severe emotional dysregulation—showing 45 abnormal brain regions versus 26 in the inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive types, with standard stimulants working poorly for this group. She connects this to traditional psychiatric personality disorder classifications and A discussion of vagus nerve stimulation's emerging applications for autoimmune conditions. Dr. Dawn and Mira discuss menstruation and bodily autonomy, then describe the Somedays period pain simulator that uses electrical impulses to let men experience menstrual cramps, highlighting differing pain thresholds. An emailer references a Radiolab episode about deliberate hookworm infection to treat asthma and allergies. Dr. Dawn explains parasites release immunosuppressants to survive, including anti-inflammatory protein-2 (AIP) now in drug development, which stimulates T-regulatory cells and IL-10 while "alarmins" inhibit lung inflammation—though this increases vulnerability to new infections. A caller with H. pylori and frequent viral infections asks whether S. boulardii and reuteri probiotics are safe given her low immunity. Dr. Dawn explains immunosuppression warnings target transplant-level drug suppression, not a tendency toward viruses like hers. Dr. Dawn thinks that her near-zero natural killer cells explain frequent infections, and suggests that the H. pylori test given her absence of symptoms, may be an incidental bystander rather than the cause of her low ferritin, which suggests bleeding. In medical news of the weird, Dr. Dawn describes Baby Cassian, diagnosed in utero with congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS), who was partially removed from the womb at 25 weeks for airway surgery, returned, and born again at 31 weeks—leading to a discussion of microsurgery and how specialties partition by the physical scale of the surgery rather the location or type of structure.

Viele Frauen merken erst nach Schwangerschaft und Geburt, wie stark ihr Zyklus ihren Alltag, ihre Gefühle und ihre Energie beeinflusst — das kann das Leben mit Kindern zusätzlich herausfordernd machen. Warum sprechen wir eigentlich so selten darüber? In dieser Folge spricht Julie mit Verena Ewald darüber, warum so viele Frauen erst als Mütter lernen, ihren Körper wirklich zu verstehen. Verena ist Logopädin, Systemische Beraterin und Zweifach-Mama. Sie findet, dass es entlastend sein kann, als Mutter Bedürfnisse offen anzusprechen — auch gegenüber den eigenen Kindern. Wichtig sei es für Mütter außerdem gerade in den anstrengenden Phasen des Zyklus, etwa während der Periode, nicht so streng zu sich zu sein und Selbstfürsorge vorzuleben. Vorstellen könne man sich den Zyklus als eine Art „Mini-Schwangerschaft“ mit einem „-Wochenbett“, die Frauen jeden Monat erneut erleben, wenn der Körper sich auf eine mögliche Schwangerschaft vorbereite. Dadurch entstehe ein neuer Blick auf PMS, Menstruation und hormonelle Veränderungen: nicht als Schwäche, sondern als körperliche Prozesse, die Aufmerksamkeit und Fürsorge verdienen. Warum Frauen offener über ihren Zyklus sprechen sollten, darüber sprechen Verena Ewald und Julie Tan in der neuen Folge von „MAMA.konkret!“, dem Podcast von Julie Tan und detektor.fm.

Today we're exploring how to bring cycle awareness to psychotherapy and mental healthcare. Our guest is MaryClaire Decker (known as MC) who is a Registered Psychologist. MC created Mindful Cycles after seeing a gap in mental health care, and after her own struggles with chronic menstrual migraines reinforced the need for an approach that works with our cycles, not against them. At Mindful Cycles, she combines evidence-based therapy with an understanding of cyclical health to help women and people with menstrual cycles navigate their mental well-being with greater self-awareness and resilience.We talk about how menstrual health symptoms change across the cycle, the neurological and hormonal shifts that cause mental health symptoms to worsen in the second half of the cycle, how to adapt therapeutic approaches based on the phases of the menstrual cycle, and the incredible impact of cycle-informed trauma therapy.We explore:Three reasons why mental health care hasn't been cycle-informed so far; menstrual stigma, the patriarchal, colonial historical context of psychotherapy and the huge gap in research when it comes to women and people with menstrual cycles.Why we risk pathologising people's experiences, or even misdiagnosing them when we don't take the fluctuations of the menstrual cycle into account, for example; 25% of people who eventually get diagnosed with PMDD are misdiagnosed with bi-polar disorder first. The beneficial impact of cycle-informed therapy for anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma, addictions and other mental health challenges. ---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.

Philadelphia has some not-entirely-scientific notions about how women of her time best handle their “bloody time”. Gage and Jessica are quick to question (and dismiss) Philadelphia's “cures”.

1 in 2 girls in the U.S. say they feel embarrassed or ashamed about their period and only 22% of U.S parents feel “very comfortable” talking to their kids about puberty. We need to rewrite this script, and our guest today, menstrual educator Amy Wilding, has written a book to do just that. Amy has supported hundreds of families through her Period of Change programs, helping them reclaim menarche as a sacred and empowered transition. She's also a queer and inclusive author, and today we're chatting about her latest book, Period Of Change: Welcoming Your Daughter's Period with Care and Confidence. As Amy says, this is not just a practical guide to puberty and periods. It is a call to reclaim what is our birthright: an understanding of our bodies and the framework for seeing the power and wisdom of our cyclical nature. Our chat today is full of practical guidance and tips to support the teens and tweens in your life through their menarche and beyond - my favourite were the conversation starters, especially when Amy shared the most important thing to say (and not say) to your child when they get their period for the first time. We explore:How to throw a Red Party for your child, and all kinds of ideas for how to celebrate together in big and small ways. The importance of how we speak about our bodies in front of our kids, and affirmations to help your daughter move through generations of cultural shame, silence and discomfort, and model how to honour our bodies and cycles. Amy's journey supporting her trans kid and guidance for how to show up as a supportive parent and maintain a connection of trust with trans kids when they're starting their periods.---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.

Dr Tanyel Zubarioglu discusses the case of a young woman with years of severe abdominal pain, neurological symptoms, anxiety, and repeated hospital visits, initially thought to represent familial Mediterranean fever.

Today we're sharing a replay of one of our most listened to podcasts ever - and it's all about how getting to know your cycle can be a vital foundation for mental and emotional health.Alexandra and Sjanie, the co-founders of Red School are both retired therapists, and today they share their learnings from their own personal cycle awareness practice (as well as working with thousands of students over several decades) about how mental and emotional health rests on us knowing ourselves, feeling our value and worth, and understanding the nature of cyclicity. All of which are skills we learn from connecting to our cycles. We also explore how the root of much of our collective menstrual and emotional turmoil as women and people who have, or have had cycles is the cultural denial, shutting down, ignoring, belittling, and suppression of our cyclical nature.We explore:Alexandra's personal journey with dissolving the shame of her early years and claiming her worth through cycle awareness and menopause, so that now she is emotionally resilient to the extent that she is immune to toxic shame.The two stable poles of the menstrual cycle, and the two transitional phases and how to work with them all to understand ourselves better and create emotional and psychological wellbeing.How following the call to stop and rest at menstruation is medicinal for us emotionally and psychologically. ---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.

In this deeply honest and theologically rich episode, Heather Creekmore welcomes Jen Oshman—author, missionary, and mom of four daughters—to tackle a question many women silently struggle with: Is it good that I was born a woman? Together, they candidly explore how issues of body image, shame, and the cultural pressures of womanhood can lead to deep-seated doubts and frustration. Drawing from global and biblical perspectives, Jen Oshman shares insights gathered from years of cross-cultural ministry and studying God’s word. She addresses the vulnerabilities women face, both physically and socially, and how Western and global cultures shape our understanding of femininity. Jen Oshman unpacks what the Bible says about being female, highlighting the unique and powerful stories of women in Scripture that often get overlooked, and discusses why God’s design for women is not only intentional but also very good. Key Topics Covered Why the question, “Is it good that I was born a woman?” is more common than we realize The impact of shame, fear, and the lived realities of being female in our culture How body image struggles can be rooted in deeper frustrations about being a woman A biblical look at femininity—separating culture’s checklist from God’s truth The meaning of “helper” (Ezer) in Genesis and its empowering implications Why diversity among women in Scripture matters—and what we can learn from their stories Studying tough Old Testament laws (like menstruation) in context and seeing God’s heart of care for women Practical encouragement for women who wrestle with their purpose and God’s plan for their gender How to dig deeper into biblical womanhood with Jen’s new Lifeway Bible study, “Very Good” Connect with Jen here: https://www.jenoshman.com Grab a copy of Jen's new Bible study: "Very Good" on Amazon here.** Amazon affiliate link.

Consider the spiritual and physical significance of women's cycles, menstruation, and womb healing through personal stories and spiritual insights. Both Lacey and Meg share their transformative journeys and the divine power and healing that can be found within womanhood. They discuss the archetype of the tree as the Great Mother and as women in general, exploring how the tree reaches deep into the earth or the "underworld" of death, while also reaching high into the heavens, soaking in light and giving off life-giving essence. They emphasize the importance of holding both ends of the spectrum, and invite the listener to lean into her own cycle and pronounce death on the things that ought to be done away.

Today it's our great pleasure to be joined by Chloé Zhao. Chloé is an academy award winning filmmaker, and amongst many accolades, Chloé is the first Woman of Colour to have won an academy award for best director for her film Nomadland.In this conversation, Chloé chats with Alexandra and Sjanie about how menstrual cycle awareness has shaped her creative process, including how she worked with the wisdom of her menstrual cycle to create and direct her most recent film, Hamnet, which received eight Oscar nominations.When Chloé turned thirty seven years old, she started to get menstrual cramps for the first time. Although it wasn't comfortable, she felt something important was coming to life within her. This coincided with what she lovingly calls a ‘midlife crisis' that ultimately led her to discover the practice of menstrual cycle awareness, which she says helped her to learn a language that her body had forgotten to speak. We explore:Intuition as our greatest currency, and how becoming more aware of our menstrual cycles prepares the body to be a vessel to receive deep intuitive knowing. The cyclical advice that Chloe has for all young filmmakers about the importance of wintering, and the power of seemingly non-productive work of rest, tending to your inner soil, and composting (even in the middle of a film set!).How the premenstrual and menstrual phases of the cycle have taught Chloe to embody creative death and rebirth, and how this played out in the creation of Hamnet. ---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.

Juhu wir haben Geburtstag – und wollen das feiern und Danke sagen an Euch, liebe Hörerinnen! Aber wir wollen auch reden, über ein Phänomen, das auf jeden Fortschritt folgt: die Gegenbewegung. Im Fall der Meno-Welle ist das eine gewisse Gereiztheit in der Medienlandschaft beim Thema Wechseljahre. Haben wir also genug geredet über die Wechseljahre? Pathologisieren wir Frauen, zu ihrem Nachteil? Und haben Männer auch Wechseljahre? Dreimal nein, finden wir. Warum, das erfahrt Ihr in diesem Gespräch – und dabei geht es um folgende Aspekte:– gesundheitliche Folgen und Nebenwirkungen von Hormonschwankungen bzw. sinkendem Östrogenspiegel– Aufklärung in der Frauenarztpraxis – was dort geleistet werden kann und was nicht– Wechseljahre am ArbeitsplatzAußerdem:– Welche Vorsorgeuntersuchungen haben Diana und Julia selber gemacht und warum?– Wie Ihr Euch mit Themenvorschlägen einbringen könnt.Die Masterclass Finanzen Premium der BRIGITTE Academy startet bald!

We dive into the often-overlooked topic of amenorrhea: the absence of menstruation. Biomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Dr. Jeannette Loram unpack the science with a focus on Functional Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (FHA) linked to energy deficiency in athletes. They explore how intense training and and sport pressures around leanness or weight can disrupt regular hormonal signals, affecting long-term bone density, cardiovascular health, and performance. They also discuss the original concept of the Female Athlete Triad (low energy availability, menstrual dysfunction, and low bone mineral density) and its evolution into RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport), a more holistic model encompassing many aspects of health and wellbeing.The conversation expands into evolutionary perspectives, comparing Western menstrual experiences—from menarche to menopause—with those of hunter-gatherer populations like the Hadza, and questioning what “normal” really means. Ultimately, this episode reframes intense athletics as a nuanced practice that must be supported by adequate nutrition and recovery.Enhanced Show Notes and Full Transcript00:00 – Intro & Sponsors02:45 – What Is Amenorrhea?05:40 – Primary vs Secondary Amenorrhea09:00 – Functional Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (FHA): Energy deficiency and hormonal suppression11:10 – Female Athlete Triad → RED-S: Evolution of understanding in sports science21:30 – The Hadza perspective: menarche to menopause25:25 – Negative consequences of amenorrhea: Bone Health  29:15 – IUD induced amenorrhea 37:00 – Historical and modern timelines for menarche compared to the Hadza 50:45 – Closing thoughts on ancient humans Links & Research Mentioned:Substack article that prompted this episode Dr Jen Gunter's article on the hormonal IUD and bone health Foraging & Menstruation in the Hadza of Tanzania Comparison between The Female Athlete Triad & RED-SConnect, Move & Learn:Join Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesFollow Katy on SubstackTry Katy's Virtual Studio Free for 7 days!Made Possible By Our Wonderful Sponsors:Ikaria Design: The Soul Seat® offers height-adjustable, multi-position sitting—get 10% off new chairs and desks with code DNA10.Smart Playrooms: Beautiful playroom design and movement-rich equipment—save 10% on monkey bars and rock-wall items with code DNA10.Peluva: Five-toe minimalist shoes that move like you do—take 10% off with code NUTRITIOUSMOVEMENTMovemate: Active standing boards with smoothly articulating wooden slats.

In this episode of the Healthy, Wealthy and Smart podcast, Dr. Karen Litzy speaks with Arielle Loupos, founder of Flower Girl, about the often-stigmatized topic of menstrual care and period products. They discuss harmful ingredients in traditional menstrual products, the importance of sustainable, non-toxic alternatives, and cycle syncing as a tool for self-awareness and empowerment. Arielle shares her journey creating Flower Girl and emphasizes the need for open conversations about menstruation to break the stigma and promote women's health. Takeaways  Menstrual care is often surrounded by misinformation and stigma. Traditional period products may contain harmful chemicals and toxins. Organic labeling on menstrual products can be misleading. Sustainable and non-toxic alternatives are essential for women's health. Cycle syncing can enhance self-awareness and optimize daily life. Women should honor their menstrual cycles and allow for rest. Understanding menstrual health is crucial for overall well-being. Open conversations about menstruation can empower women. Education about menstruation should start at a young age. Women's health research needs to be prioritized and expanded.  Chapters 00:00 Breaking the Silence on Menstrual Care 02:55 The Hidden Dangers in Period Products 06:10 Creating a Sustainable Solution: Flower Girl Underwear 08:55 Understanding Menstrual Health and Cycle Syncing 11:55 Empowering Women Through Menstrual Awareness 14:46 The Emotional and Societal Impact of Menstruation 18:02 The Future of Women's Health Conversations More About Arielle: Arielle Loupos is the founder of Flower Girl, a new sustainable and non-toxic period underwear brand designed to help women feel safe, confident, and in flow with their bodies.
