Welcome to the first episode of Her Health, Our Women's Wellness Series.

Also, just a quick note.

From now on, on the series, we're going to be talking about women or females a lot,

but these issues don't just affect women.

They affect anybody who menstruates, anybody who goes through menopause, so we are going

to be using those words for a shorthand, but you guys know, they don't just affect women.

So the episodes in this series are meant to address some of the most asked about questions

that we've gotten.

We're going to be talking about menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause, and I am so glad

that we're finally covering these topics.

Well, Eddie, the first topic is so incredibly important, but it's something that a lot of

us, including myself, might feel kind of embarrassed to talk about.

So today, we're talking about on flow, shark week, the red wave.

Excuse me.

Shark week, wasn't that like a television thing a few weeks ago?

Shark week is another way of saying we are talking about periods.

So I mean, this affects basically half of the people on this planet.

Actually, speaking for the guys, I think it affects all of us, and growing up with

two sisters, having a wife, having two daughters, I think that everyone should be knowledgeable

about this.
