This week’s guest is London-based Medical Herbalist and Director of Forage Botanicals, Natasha Richardson. Natasha has also published the Your Period Handbook and advises women on holistic health for their menstrual cycles. I was actually really excited to have Natasha on because not only is she an expert on periods, she has also conducted a major amount of study on how race and gynaecology are intertwined throughout history.
In this episode I wanted to find out how Natasha’s own experience of debilitating periods led to her studying it in depth, her advice for both young women and pre-menopausal women on what to look out for in their periods and if we can be too tolerant of pain. We talk about everything in between, including Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and poo and I think this is a brilliant learning episode for women and men everywhere.
