Summary
Are You Menstrual?
The first step we take with the women we work with to improve their hormones and overall health is unlearning. So many of us have been dieting from a young age and constantly hopping from one restrictive diet to the next. Leaving our bodies in a constant state of stress and depleting essential minerals that allow us to thrive. This leads to a slowing down of our metabolism. Most people hear the word metabolism and think of weight loss, but it’s actually so much more than that.
Our metabolism is the basic process our body goes through to convert food to energy. If this process slows down that means we have less energy, which means more hormone problems. In this episode, we walk you through the basics of our metabolism, how stress and dieting impact it, and signs that your metabolism needs support.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is Amanda, women's health dietitian. And I'm Emily, nutritional therapy practitioner. |
| 0:06.3 | And this is the RU menstrual podcast, where we help you navigate the confusing world of women's |
| 0:10.9 | hormones and teach you how to have healthy periods. Each week, we will be diving into a different |
| 0:15.6 | topic on women's health and sharing our perspective using nutrition, female physiology, and metabolic health. |
| 0:21.6 | Our goal is to help you wait through conflicting health information and empower you on your |
| 0:25.5 | healing journey. We hope you enjoy it. |
| 0:42.2 | Welcome to the first episode of the RU Menstrual podcast. |
| 0:47.6 | I just want to give you a quick intro on what to expect from our podcast and the episodes moving forward. |
| 0:48.9 | So we designed the podcast in a way that shares foundational information in the first like eight to |
| 0:56.0 | 12 episodes, and then we're going to definitely do some more interviews and have guests on and |
| 1:01.5 | things like that. The goal with the foundational and informational episodes is that we are going |
| 1:07.7 | to allow you to build a base knowledge of things like metabolism, certain nutrition principles that we are going to allow you to build a base knowledge of things like metabolism, |
| 1:13.0 | certain nutrition principles that we believe in and recommend, and then even things like |
| 1:18.1 | minerals. So in order for us to dive deeper into certain topics, we feel that you are going |
| 1:23.8 | to need a certain amount of base knowledge. And while the majority of our community is on Instagram, it's not super easy to search through |
| 1:32.7 | Instagram and find certain topics. |
| 1:36.1 | Sometimes we don't even, like it, it's like a graphic of a post, but you can't always |
| 1:39.8 | see exactly what it says when it's just a little small square on the profile. |
| 1:43.6 | So the goal of the podcast |
| 1:44.6 | is to make it so that there's a really easily searchable kind of bank of information for you to choose |
