The Rounded Way Podcast

This week we bring to you another Period Pal who shares her personal experience so generously. 
 
We go into the nitty gritty of her menstrual cycle, how she’s always led a quite active lifestyle, irregularities in her cycle, and how she is still learning about herself with each cycle that passes.
 
Trigger warning: We briefly discuss premature birth, so if this does not serve you to listen now, I understand and I look forward to having you back for the next ep.
 
My goal for 'The Period Files' is to share the many unique stories of menstruating people so we can learn from each other and spark curiosity within ourselves as to whether we need to support ourselves towards a healthier menstrual cycle.

The wonderful, knowledgeable Siobhan Lenihan from Leni Pelvic Health Physiotherapy is passionate about empowering you to take charge of your pelvic health.
 
I honestly did not know how much there is to the pelvic floor and today we talk through just one aspect of it that seems to be all too common - the overactive pelvic floor. 
 
Siobhan has completed extensive training including a postgraduate in Continence and Pelvic Health Training, finalising her Masters of CPH with a research proposal on Endometriosis, as well as WHTA Advanced Prolapse and Stress Urinary Incontinence Training, plus more.
 
In this episode we talk through:
What is the pelvic floor
What is an overactive pelvic floor
Signs and symptoms
Leakage
The link between mental health and the overactive pelvic floor
Impact on fertility, plus more!

Another solo ep this week! 
 
I made a post on Instagram last week and the poll from that was a resounding yes to me expanding my thoughts into a podcast ep... so here we are! 
 
In this episode I talk about the terminology of cycle syncing and awareness, how they differ, and how you may be able to incorporate them into your life. I've thrown in a bonus 3 practical steps to get started too!

A solo episode hitting your ears this week!
 
Firstly, I apologise... if it sounds like my voice is straining or I'm about to cough... it's because I am. These winter bugs have been vicious but I just had to still get something out to you guys!
 
This week I speak to my happy hormone checklist, which covers 7 of my top hacks to support your reproductive hormones and bring more harmony to your menstrual cycle.
 
It can be pretty overwhelming when you start going down this rabbit hole so as you listen, I invite you to pick one or two things to work on over the coming months and see how you change for the better.

This week we bring to you another Period Pal who shares her personal experience so generously. We go into the nitty gritty of her menstrual cycle, how her body responded when she came off hormonal contraception, and how she managed to balance her hormones years after a wild ride.
 
One wish from our Period Pal is that there is more education for teens surrounding the menstrual cycle and hormonal contraception so that young girls can make the most informed decision for their body's. Let's start making waves towards this!
 
My goal for 'The Period Files' is to share the many unique stories of menstruating people so we can learn from each other and spark curiosity within ourselves as to whether we need to support ourselves towards a healthier menstrual cycle.

Our resident nutritionist is back for this one! 
 
I had a great chat to Luke Elvish from Future Nutrition and Health all about his experience with various diets. If you can name any type of diet, it’s highly likely he’s tried it. He talks through pros and cons, the impact they have on the body, and we take a dive into the benefits of carbohydrates.
 
You can find Luke on Instagram @futurenutritionandhealth or contact him at futurenutritioncoaching@gmail.com for 1:1 nutrition coaching.

Bringing you a solo ep this week! 
 
When I started recording this one I thought it was going to be a quick ep, but it seems this gal can ramble. I focus on my signature framework to ‘Set the SCENE to Elevate Your Wellbeing’ where SCENE is the acronym for: 
- Sleep
- Connection
- Exercise
- Nutrition, and 
- Environment
 
It represents the foundational pillars of holistic health that influence and are influenced by your menstrual cycle, and it is the approach I use with women who want to take charge of their health no matter what season of life they are in.
 
If you are feeling out of whack with your hormones, if you want to conceive, if you have irregular or missed periods, or other health conditions like PCOS or thyroid issues, PMS and mood swings, fatigue, low energy, coming off hormonal contraception, difficulties managing weight… this episode is for you!
 
As you listen, I invite you to do a deep dive and review each of your fundamental pillars of wellness. Pick one or two things to work on over the coming months and see how you change for the better.
