In this episode of "Takin’ Care Of Lady Business®," host Jennifer Justice delves into the groundbreaking work of Chelsea Leyland, the innovative force behind Looni, a menstrual health supplement. Leyland's journey from DJ to advocate and entrepreneur in the health and wellness sphere illustrates the challenges and triumphs faced by women pioneering in sectors often overlooked by mainstream research. Despite the slow pace of medical research in women’s health, Chelsea has introduced Looni to the market, a company dedicated to transforming menstrual health through holistic, scientifically-backed products. Chelsea is at the forefront of change with her documentary "Sisters Interrupted," which focuses on her relationship with her sister, their joint struggle with epilepsy, and how cannabis allowed her to wean off her epilepsy medicine.

Key Takeaways  

Learn about how endometriosis affects 1 in 10 menstruators, a prevalence rate comparable to diabetes, yet diagnosis takes 10 years on average, driven by inadequate medical education and societal dismissal of symptoms, together with the stark funding disparity—receiving only $1 for every $200 allocated to diabetes research.

Explore Looni’s holistic approach to menstrual health, a supplement which uniquely combines adaptogens, vitamins, nootropics, and minerals to enhance hormonal balance, addressing symptoms like low mood and PM discomfort.

Chelsea discusses her transformative experience with medical cannabis, which enabled her to stop using traditional anticonvulsant medications. She also describes her efforts to secure this treatment for her sister in the UK, where, despite legal changes in 2018, only four patients have NHS access.

Discover how Chelsea leverages community support through Looni’s platforms and her own epilepsy journey, fostering a network where shared experiences and advice enhance understanding and support.
