"Period Poverty"... a Taboo Topic?

Unfortunately, there are some issues in healthcare that seem to get ignored, or simply don’t get discussed appropriately, and today’s topic is one of these challenging issues.   In many circles, menstruation is a topic that is difficult to discuss openly, which complicates the challenges of period poverty. Today we explore the challenges of period poverty and how that may contribute to the significant global problem of Iron deficiency in reproductive age women.

Our special guests today are Mindy Olivarez, Vice President of Innovation at The Kinetix Group, and Michela Bedard, the Executive Director at PERIOD, a nonprofit that aims to support individuals affected by challenging menstrual cycle issues.
