endometriosis. While endo is absolutely real and deserves air time, it's not the only reason periods can be painful. We explore what’s considered normal versus not normal when it comes to menstrual discomfort, and why a one-size-fits-all approach to managing it often falls short.

Nat dives into the importance of a multi-modality approach to finding relief—addressing everything from hormonal balance to the nervous system and pain pathways, and how these influence the intensity and persistence of pain. We also talk about why pain relief medication can be a powerful tool when used strategically, not shamefully.
