Summary

Why are my periods irregular, why are they heavy, why do I get cramps, should I be on the pill and how will that impact my health, why do I feel low around the time of my period, why do I break out or get bloated? These are just a few of the common question we have about our periods, a topic that we can shy away from and that can often have quite a lot of stigma and embarrassment surrounding it, yet there is so much we can learn about our bodies, our health and our mental wellbeing from understanding our cycle, the fluctuations of our hormones and how we feel across the month. The episode, with women’s health expert Maisie Hill, breaks down the most common questions, outlines what’s happening at each point of the month and allows us to get to know ourselves so much better.

Before we get into today's episode, I wanted to introduce you to our sponsor.

0:05.2

A little note on sponsors, we only work with brands that I actually use and I truly love.

0:11.2

I and we will never promote anything that isn't totally authentic or something that we don't

0:16.5

believe in. For the next few months, our podcast sponsor is SimProve, a supplement that I've

been using to support my gut health for about five years now. I was actually buying it years

0:26.8

before he started working with them. I know gut health is such a prevalent topic right now

0:32.0

and something that's so many of you are interested in too. The gut microbiome is made up of trillions

0:37.8

of bacteria that support pretty much all aspects of our mental and physical health, from digestion,

0:43.8

to our immune system, energy production and mental health. Keeping the right balance of good bacteria

0:49.4

in our gut is so important. Our diet and our lifestyles have a huge impact on that, but adding

0:55.4

in live bacteria can really help too. The bacteria in SimProve, which is a water-based

1:00.6

supplement, can survive the very long journey from the mouth to the gut, whether they're

able to multiply and support your microbiome. I truly swear by it, my husband takes it too,

Hi everyone and welcome to the deliciously Ella podcast with me, Ella Mills.

1:43.8

So for today's episode, I have literally never, ever had more listener or read-a-questions.

1:49.1

I mean literally thousands and thousands and thousands of them. So I think today's topic is

1:54.6

something that we can all be a bit shy about, we're a bit awkward and embarrassed about talking

1:58.4

about it. Something we're actually quite uneducated on. Yet it's something that plays such a

fundamental impact in our lives, in our wellbeing, both physically and emotionally for all kinds
