002. Let's Talk Periods

Hello, beautiful Friends! Welcome to officially the first full episode of Hormonal Human, where we delve into the all-too-relatable world of periods. Today, we're sharing our personal experiences, discussing the evolution of period products, and embracing the raw and real aspects of menstrual health. Get ready for some laughter, learning, and maybe a few "ah-ha!" moments.

Episode Summary:
  • Topic: Exploring the Start of Hormonal Health: Our Period Stories
  • Duration: 34ish minutes
Discussion Breakdown & Key Takeaways:
  1. Personal Period Stories: We reminisce about our first periods, the confusion, and the lack of preparedness many of us face during that significant life event.
  2. Evolution of Period Products: From bulky pads to tampons, and now to period panties and menstrual cups, we discuss how these products have changed our menstrual experiences.
  3. Health Concerns and Awareness: We touch on topics like endometriosis, PCOS, and the importance of understanding your body's signals.
Highlights:
  1. "God forbid somebody be like, 'Hey girlfriend, guess what? This might happen.' That could be what your period is gonna feel like." -
  2. "I think it's important for your sons to know... I don't want them to just think I'm being a bitch for no reason." - 001
Resources & Links: Questions we are left with:
  • When was birth control invented?
  • If you keep taking birth control will you not go through menopause?
  • How do you track your cycle on birthcontrol or an IUD?
  • What chemicals are in tampons? Are there chemicals in period panties or cups?

As always, we're here to share, support, and empower each other through all things hormonal. If you have a story to share, questions, or topics you want us to explore, reach out to us on Instagram [@HormonalHuman].

Until next time, stay empowered, and remember, it's okay to talk about your period!

With love, Stephanie + Elisa
