The Men Who Really Do Menstruate...For Real
Listen now
Description
We’ve heard about endometriosis, but what about adenomyosis? It is common to see with an endometriosis diagnosis, but there is a difference between the two. Did you know there is a place where men desire to actually menstruate? It’s true! In Papua New Guinea, menstruation is thought to be so powerful that they have their own “menstruation” ritual. Next, as you age, your cycle could surely change. We talk about what that means and some things to look out for during the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s.   Feed your period with eggs! Yumminess that chock full of choline. We discuss what they can do for your energy and metabolism. In Oriental Food therapy, these are considered Blood builders.
