She's also the proud mother of two future she-heros &amp; the wife of a feminist. <strong>&nbsp;</strong>Our host, Jillian Foster, speaks with Sophia about the experience of having a period, making periods optional, and the impact this has on your health. This episode digs into that and more as Sophia shares why we are menstruating more often than women in history, the implications of level 10 blood over time, how women "syncing up" it totally a thing, and the critical distinction between emergency contraception and medication abortion. Sophia's work and this conversation debunk the myth that a woman's body's "natural state" has regular, monthly periods. Call me, beep me, if you want to reach us... we'll be at our gynecologist's office.</p><br><p><strong>Connect with Sophia:</strong></p><br><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pandiahealth/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@pandiahealth</a></p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/pa
