    The menstrual cycle: What you really need to know

    What actually is the menstrual cycle—and why does it matter? In this episode of The Vulvalution, we’re joined by endocrinologist Dr. Jerilynn Prior to break down hormones, ovulation, and the menstrual cycle from a whole-body health perspective. We bust common myths, explain why estrogen and progesterone work as a team, and walk through a full cycle—covering cramps, PMS, ovulation, and why your cycle is about much more than reproduction. If you’ve ever been told “it’s just your hormones,” this episode is for you. 📚Episode Resources:  Documenting Ovulation with Quantitative Basal Temperature: https://cemcor.ubc.ca/resources/documenting-ovulation-quantitative-basal-temperature-qbt/   Interested in participating in research? https://www.reachbc.ca/ or https://whri.org/

    The History of Women's Health

    In this episode, we dive into the history of women’s health, from ancient myths to modern research gaps. We are joined by Dr. Tamil Kendall, Director of the Partnership for Women’s Health Research Canada, who walks us through how women, trans, and non-binary people have been excluded from clinical research, the evolution of contraception, the impact of abortion legalization, and why understanding this history is essential for shaping a healthier, more equitable future. Join us for an eye-opening conversation that connects the past to the urgent issues in women’s health today.
