female health 101 & myth-busting ft GYNTK


Listen Later

let's be honest... what do we actually know about our own cycles and periods?? for me the answer is, shockingly little which is why i was so excited to record this episode!!

this (VIDEO!!) episode we're joined by the amazing siera and clara co-founders of 'girl you need to know this', an amazing women's health community with the purpose of making women's health actually UNDERSTANDABLE and easily accessible (i know it's great right??).

we talk about our personal experiences with understanding our own bodies/periods/contraception, as well as answer (aka i ask, they answer) lots of your questions around:

  • understanding hormones
  • periods
  • PMDD
  • menopause
  • contraception & what options are out there
  • how to educate yourself & be respected when you're at a doctor's office
  • grab yourself a hot drink of your choice & hope you enjoy listening!! (p.s. as you'll be able to tell this episode was filmed back some months ago - when cara was still on podcast break, leo was still living in london etc. so don't be confused about the apparent jump back in time tehe)
