Did you know that your nervous system can have an impact on your experience of menstruation? I get into all of this and more on today’s episode of Period Story with Amy Gaston, the president of OhmBody, a drug-free wearable device designed to work with the body’s nervous system to naturally support lighter, shorter, more comfortable periods.

In this episode, Amy shares: 

• The impact of growing up in a conservative Christian household and being a late bloomer on her understanding of her body
• Why perimenopause has led her to ask better questions about her health 
• Her thoughts on innovation in women’s health 
• The issues that disproportionately affect women and why we have to talk about women’s health, not just health
• Why menstruation is a whole body experience 
• What OhmBody is and why it’s a helpful drug-free way of managing period pain, premenstrual pain, and ovulation pain 
• How stimulating the vagus and trigeminal nerves can increase the body’s clotting process, and help reduce heavy menstrual bleeding
• And of course, the story of her first period 

Amy says that painful periods are not normal and that if your period disrupts your everyday life in any way, there is a better solution than normalising this narrative. 

Thank you, Amy!
