In our latest episode, we are diving deep into the real talk about periods - why stigma around menstrual bleeding exists, where it comes from, and how we can challenge it together. We’re thrilled to be joined by Dr. Angela Weyand, pediatric hematologist, and associate professor at the University of Michigan medical school. For the past 9 years, she has co-directed a combined hematology/gynecology program that focuses on hemostatic and thrombotic disorders that impact women and girls and those with the potential to menstruate. She’s passionate about tackling iron deficiency, health equity, and on top of all that – she is a powerhouse on social media, educating and advocating under the handle “shematologist”. With years of experience at the intersection of blood disorders and reproductive health, Dr. Weyand breaks it all down and shares more about the history, the science, and the social impact of menstrual stigma and what we can do to shift the conversation. Whether you’re curious, or just ready to break the taboo, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
