Hey, this is Amanda, women's health dietitian. And I'm Emily, nutritional therapy practitioner.

And this is the RU menstrual podcast, where we help you navigate the confusing world of women's hormones and teach you how to have healthy periods.

Our goal is to help you wait through conflicting health information and empower you on your healing journey.

We hope you enjoy it.
