[2] Period sh!ts

About this episode

The episode discusses the often-ignored topics surrounding women's health, particularly focusing on periods and related issues.

The topic that started it all - period shits. It was over a glass of much needed Friday wine that we realised how many basic things about being a woman go under-discussed - periods, hormones, iron deficiencies, stress. Things our bodies do all the time, that influence and control us daily, yet we need to dig through forums, blogs and inter-generational myths to discover. Or by having a chat with your gals. So we made the chat public. If you want to learn more, visit our website https://thisiswhy-podcast.co.uk
