Today's episode features the incredibly insightful and wonderful teacher and women's health educator, Demi Spaccavento from Bright Girl Health.
Demi is at the absolute forefront of advocating and actually enacting period, cycle and hormonal health education for students in Australia and worldwide and we absolutely LOVE what she is doing for the future of women's health.
Demi goes to schools in person and now also offers online presentations to educate students on everything we wish we had been taught about in school - from cervical fluid to hormones to cycle length and cups.
In today's episode we cover a lot of ground including:
- period myths/misconceptions
- common gaps in menstrual knowledge
- Demi's personal history of period and hormone health
- Issues with the education system and ways we can empower people going forward
- hormone health
- starting a business
