Jayton Miller:
Welcome back to the Thermo Diet podcast. I'm your host Jayton Miller. And today, I have on the podcast Miss Meg Langston. So today, we talk about the menstrual cycle. We talk about the different parts of the menstrual cycle, what makes a menstrual cycle difficult to deal with, how do you overcome some of those difficulties, what are some of the benefits of actually having a period, and why it may give women a hand up whenever it comes to health and telling them what's going on with their body and stuff like that.

Jayton Miller:

Meg Langston:
And I remember calling my dad one time and I was like, "Well, what are you eating?" And I'm like, "Well, Special K for breakfast," because this was when Special K was the end all, be all. Maybe it still is. But I definitely thought if it had dried strawberries in there, it was really healthy. "And then pasta for lunch and Jimmy John's dinner, turkey sandwich on white bread." And he'd be like, "Well, that's just all carbs." I'm like, "Don't I need carbs?" He was like, "You're not an athlete anymore."

Meg Langston:
So anyway, that was the first time I had ever identified food impacts your body and what are carbs. And I say this as a joke, but i
