The Flow: A Podcast by TABOO TABOO Period Products

In this episode Eloise Hall and Dr Gabrielle Golding Discuss the ins and outs of paid menstrual leave in the workplace, why it's popular and also why it's contended. If you are curious about this policy as either an employee or an employer, this episode is for you! 

Dr Golding is the new Associate Dean of  Law at the University of Adelaide. Dr Goldings' specialty of research has recently focussed on the intersection of employment and contract law. Gabby holds a PhD in employment and contract law, a Master of Laws and a Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice from ANU. She also has a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) and Bachelor of Arts (Politics) from the University of Adelaide.

DISCLAIMER: Today's discussion includes topics of mental health including suicidal ideation and medical negligence

This episode, Eloise brings a very dear friend into the studio today, Ollie Patterson. Other than a generous friend, an animal lover and a talented musician, Ollie is a researcher with the University of Adelaide, deep diving into the queer and non-binary existences across cultures throughout history. The topics we will cover today include the importance of gender inclusive language of period care, menstruation, sex and contraceptive methods for non-binary folk and more! The start of this chat will be framed in a “You can’t ask that” style of conversation, inspired by the questions you submitted on TABOO’s instagram yesterday.  After we get through your questions, Ollie and I will be chatting about their journey as a Non-Binary person, navigating menstruation, sex and contraception, and more!

Let's get into the flow!

For today's episode, we are joined by the wonderful Nawal Church who gives us the lowdown on pelvic health and everything associated with it!

On today’s episode Izzy and I are chatting about Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS. PCOS is the most common health condition that affects between 8-13% of women of reproductive age.

Now today’s conversation isn’t going to focus on the pathology of PCOS. Instead we are joined by Obstetrician & Gynaecologist and Fertility Specialist, Dr Tim O’Dowd. Tim is passionate about spreading awareness on the effect of diet on reproductive health, especially for people with PCOS.
