The Periodical Pod

This week on The Periodical Pod, Michelle is delving into the main event of the menstrual cycle: ovulation! From identifying symptoms to mastering tracking techniques, we'll explore the intricate roles of estrogen and progesterone in the body, and much more. As always, we are not holding anything back and Alex is on deck, making sure all of our burning questions are being answered.


Registered acupuncturist, registered Chinese herbal medicine practitioner and women's health advocate Michelle Smith and producer, writer, and mum of three Alex Whittington have partnered to make a women’s health podcast that’s packed full of the topics we all should have been taught but never were.


We’re your, big sisters, for periods, and we’re diving deep into until-now taboo topics such as periods, hormones, mental health, fertility, sex, menopause, and the entire spectrum of women’s health.


In this podcast there’s no such thing as too much information, we’re not holding anything back and covering the topics you might be too embarrassed to ask about. Expect epic guests including experts in women’s health and people with lived experience.


We want to empower women with education and create an opportunity to share real-life stories that will make you laugh and cry.
