What's even worse is that women have been excluded from research because of our menstrual cycles.And what's even worser is that because of this bias, many girls and women get misdiagnosed, undiagnosed, and gaslit. In this episode I'll debunk some myths, share some useful information, and hopefully give you a starting point to do your own research.Disclaimer: I am not a medical, dental, or mental health professional and this video is not medical advice, dental, or mental health advice.Timestamps:0:00 Intro3:14 Gender bias in ADHD diagnoses7:31 Oral hygiene16:16 Needing 6-8 hrs of sleep19:39 Cold plunges/cold showers25:01 Intermittent fastingIf you get ads at the beginning of this episode, add ~3 minutes to the timestampsSources:Comparing gingival inflammation and salivary acidity to hormonal variation during menstruationDaily sauna time might help prevent menopause-related weight gainEffects of cold environment exposure on female reproductive health and its regulatory mechanismsFemales with ADHD: An expert consensus statement taking a lifespan approach providing guidance for the identification and treatment of attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder in girls and womenHow Intermittent Fasting Affects Women: Metabolism, Perimenopause & Hormones | Dr. Stacy Sims Inattentive ADHD in Women Intermittent Fasting vs Time-Restricted Eating: What Actually Works for Women 40+?Oral HealthPeriod Power by Maisie Hill The Menstrual Cycle’s Influence on Sleep Duration and Cardiovascular Health: A Comprehensive ReviewWhy Women Require a Different Oral Cleaning Routine Than Men__________🎙️ About the podcast: The patriarchy is starting to crumble, but sadly it probably won't be fully dismantled in our lifetime. In this podcast, I help women exploit the system's loopholes while finding the hidden ways the patriarchy conditions us to leak our power. Because guess what? Power isn't given, it's either taken or created. And it's time to take back the power the patriarchy stole from us.👸 About Neeki: I earned my Bachelor’s in Public Policy with High Distinction and went on to complete my Master’s in Political Science, both at the University of Toronto.
