How much period pain is normal? Does my weight impact my cycle? And why oh why do we get period poos?!

In Mamamia’s brand new podcast Well, co-hosts Claire Murphy and Dr Mariam discuss everything you need to know about periods and bust a few myths along the way. Plus you’ll learn about the existence of a sperm graveyard and whether there is a ‘right’ way for your vagina to smell.

Well is a podcast about the taboo, the annoying, the embarrassing and the scary. We cover the concerns you’re probably considering seeing a doctor about, from insomnia to weird periods to how to prevent dementia. The full body health check for the Australian woman - dropping every Thursday - wherever you get your podcasts. 
Coming up - we delve into endo, PCOS, depression, ADHD and burnout.

’I’ve lost track of how many times I use algebra each week. What a lifesaver!’… said no adult ever.

We learned a lot of things in school that we’ve never actually needed to know in real life. Most of us have never been asked to quote Shakespeare, or recite Pythagoras’ theorem or… square dance. Meanwhile, important things like how to nail a job interview, how to do taxes, and whether buying or renting is a better financial option were conveniently left off the curriculum.

That’s where we come in. Comedian Bec Melrose and Mamamia’s Emily Vernem are here to walk you through the lessons you’re too embarrassed to admit you still don’t know. So sit back and relax, school is in session.
