<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today I’m chatting with twin sisters Lauren Lee-Crane and Catherine Lee, co-founders of</span> <a href="https://www.semainehealth.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Semaine Health</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. Lauren and Catherine have made it their work’s mission to help improve women’s health through education about periods and period pain. Semaine, their period vitamin, is formulated with nine super-powered plant extracts and minerals that lower the inflammation in your body when you need it the most. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is Lauren and Catherine’s hope that Semaine can help give women healthier, happier periods.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>In their effort to normalize conversations about women’s bodies and periods, Lauren and Catherine touched on so many important topics, but here are some of my favorite takeaways from our chat:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The connection between inflammation and period pain is significant and should not be overlooked;</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The idea that women are supposed to experience pain during their period is wrong; just because period pain is common, does not mean it should remain that way;</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Women of color are at a significant disadvantage when it comes to pain and health issues;</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Healthy living means being connected to your body, how it feels, and what makes it feel good, and also not striving for perfection. </span></li> </ul> <p><br /> <span style="font-weight: 400;">If you want to learn more about the work Lauren and Catherine do, you can connect with them via</span> <a href="https://www.semainehealth.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Semaine Health</span></a> <
