Welcome to Oh My Menses: A digital space dedicated to menstruality, periods, hormones + cycle-informed living. Join me, Karinda (BHSc Naturopath, Fertility Educator + Owner of Karinda Wholistix), as we explore these sacred feminine mysteries & nature's wisdom. From stories of menarche, birth control, and common period problems to menstrual shame, sex, fertility and the moon. If it's about the human female experience, I'll probably talk about it. This is a place of sharing, remembering, learning; unlearning; where we come together and reclaim our cyclical power.

Ep 12 • How to Smooth Out A Rough Luteal Phase | Practical & Spiritual Guidance for Premenstrual Tension

Tuesday, April 9, 2024 • Duration 01:17:50

A rambly albeit helpful exploration of (1) why the luteal phase can feel rough AF, and (2) practical AND a lil more woo-woo ways that we can support ourselves to have the a more smooth, manageable premenstrual phase.

I emphasise the importance of working with these 5 categories: Nutrition, Movement, Sleep, Light, Nervous System Regulation - because if there are any imbalances here, they're likely to impact your premenstrual vibe greatly. Work on these foundations first because seeking any "cure-all" or magic fixes for your PMS struggles.

The practical tips are after the 32-ish-minute mark, with lots of helpful hints & concepts woven throughout.

Things I mention in this ep:

The Nuance of Supplements - Julie & I on The Nuanced Naturopaths
Why Optimal Vitamin D Levels are Higher Than You're Told (this article uses different measure of Vitamin D than used in Australia, so for reference, as a naturopath, from a functional and preventative medicine perspective, I'd like to see most clients with Vitamin D [25-hydroxy-D] levels at least over 75, if not over 100 nmol/L

Ep 11 • Reacting to My Emotional (Menstrual) Breakdown • Emotional Release During Menstruation • Why You Should Scream Into A Pillow

Sunday, March 17, 2024 • Duration 40:05

Probably my most vulnerable episode so far, I take you behind the scenes of a raw emotional release from the start of my last menstrual cycle that I video-recorded.

I also cover:

The importance of physical & emotional release during your menstrual phase
My history of being a sensitive child who cried often, and some stories of my upbringing and how adults reacted to my emotions
Commentary on my nervous system & emotional state during an acute mental health flare-up
How screaming into a pillow can help you process deep emotional imprints, and allow for a thorough release, even if the emotions are subconscious
Going over the energetics of the menstrual phase & periods, and how we must first let go of what's holding us back, before calling forth what we desire in our lives.

May this episode be of benefit to you - above all else, I hope you feel a bit more normal and a little less alone in feeling big feelings of your own (whether you're menstruating or not!).

Your emotional expression is important & needed.

Ep 2 • Is Resistance to Rest Causing Your Period Problems?

Season 1 · Episode 2

Tuesday, February 21, 2023 • Duration 41:39

Today, I wanted to talk about something frequently on my mind, that I witness in myself, loved ones, and clients: resistance to rest. In our menstrual cycle, there are times when naturally, our bodies desire to slow down, go inward & contract. These times - usually in the luteal & menstrual phases - are so important for processing emotions, trauma, limiting beliefs and highlighting where in our lives we need to take action or make adjustments. What happens when we consistently 'push through' these default times for rest and resist slowing down? What are we communicating with our bodies? Personally, and from my clinical perspective, I see this as a huge underlying factor for period pain, pre-menstrual syndrome and other symptoms of hormonal imbalance. This easily adds up to a much bigger picture of 'unwellness', when we consider that each phase of our cycle influences the next, and each cycle influences the next, and so on. It's time to break these societal patterns & make friends with slowing down, stillness and rest. Our health & hormones depend on it.

Ep 1 • My Origin Story of Menstruality, the Pill, Puberty & *lots* more

Season 1 · Episode 1

Monday, February 6, 2023 • Duration 01:01:50

Welcome to Oh My Menses! I’m so grateful to have you here. As the first episode, I really just rolled with the flow. It felt good to share my story of going through puberty, hormonal experiences, being on the pill as a teen, navigating safe sex and discovering fertility awareness at 17 years old before fully discovering (remembering) Menstrual Cycle Awareness. I know & trust there is healing in the storytelling.
This episode really is a bit of journeying back in time with me, so I appreciate your digital company, holding space for my stories & history.

If anything I said resonated with you, or you have a question or something you’d love to hear me talk about, please drop me a line at hello@karindawholistix.com.au

I have online & in-person naturopathy sessions available where we holistically focus on your body, hormones, menstrual health (and more), and harness the healing power of nature to bring your body back to balance. You can explore working together here

Ep 8 • Inner Teen Confession: I Believed Taking "the Pill" at 14yo was a Rite of Passage

Wednesday, January 31, 2024 • Duration 10:09

A bit more of a personal share for this ep, about some "ouch" thoughts & feels that rose to the surface recently in regards to my relationship with the Pill (aka oral hormonal contraception).

In a world in which we're so disconnected from our Rites of Passage as females (birth, menarche, pregnancy, menopause, death), little teenage Karinda was looking for meaning & womanly "worthiness" in a pharmaceutical drug that shut off her menstrual cycles & hormone production. How ironic that in looking to feel like more of a woman, I was shutting off the precise biology that is the source of my feminine power.

In this share, I'm processing some of my grief for this past self & debunking the "logic" of putting a whole generation of girls onto synthetic hormones.

"Putting a teenager on hormonal birth control for irregular periods is like taking a sledgehammer to a tiny screw"
