Disclaimer from Podcaster Ella Dorfman (‘25): In today’s podcast I’ll be talking about periods and the menstrual cycle. I know everyone has different comfort levels with sexual health topics, so you might want to skip this one if it is not right for you, or give it a listen with a parent, guardian or trusted adult. I’m 17 and have served on Teen Source’s California Sexual Education Youth Advisory Board, am a leading ambassador with the YHES4Condoms Campaign, and work for the Sexual Education Company, TeenSource. I aim to provide listeners with information that comes from well-researched and informed data, but I’m not a doctor, and you should always consult a professional if you are seeking medical advice. This episode should not replace any conversation with a doctor.
