Periods, Pain & Misinformation – The Truth About Menstrual Health

In this powerful first episode of our 3-part series, I’m joined once again by registered nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner, Rebecca Wakefield. This time, we’re diving deep into menstrual health – a topic that’s still wrapped in silence, stigma, and outdated advice.

Rebecca shares the personal story that inspired her to shift careers and become a champion for women’s health. We talk about the myths many of us grew up believing (hello, “eat less, move more”), the dangers of generic diet advice, and why so many women are still told their symptoms are “just normal.”

Spoiler alert: common doesn’t mean normal.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, confused, or unsupported when it comes to your period or hormones, this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for. It’s real, honest, and packed with insight.
