- Wish this pod existed in my youth!
I spent my teenage years dealing with death cramps and running into the same non-answers from medial professionals. Eventually, they became manageable when I went on birth control, and now that I’m 40 and I’ve had two children they are squarely in the normal range. I would have loved to have had this resource and camaraderie in my teenage years. Kate is so talented and warm, and I’m grateful she has taken on this work to help women who are suffering.

What a great podcast! I just listened to your episode on UTIs, and you should look into interstitial cystitis. You’ll love this one: some (mostly make) doctors don’t believe it’s real.
Apple Podcasts5OreadicUnited States4 months ago - Studying the Female Body?!
Finally someone who did a (relatively) thorough review of the data and research we currently have on menstruation and its associated pain. I don’t have a cycle anymore (thx menopause!) but it was so validating to hear what Kate found out in her time (& HARD WORK) making this podcast. So Kate, next stop- menopause, right?! One can dream that she will focus her studies on that next. You must listen to this podcast if you are a female or just know a female. 😁
