Tijdens de boeklancering van "Het Cyclus Kompas" in Bleyckhof vond de live opname plaats van de laatste aflevering van deze podcast. Het boek "Het Cyclus Kompas", geschreven door Morgane Leten tijdens haar negen maanden zwangerschap van haar dochtertje Lola, heeft als doel om jonge meisjes, vrouwen en eigenlijk iedereen te informeren over de menstruele cyclus. Als interviewer had ik het privilege om drie prachtige vrouwen te spreken: Eva Daeleman, Hilde De Baerdemaker en Natasha Cateleyn. Ze deelden uitgebreid hun verhaal over het leven in harmonie met hun cyclus. Hun vrouwelijke kracht is bijzonder inspirerend, en elk van hen schreef ook een persoonlijke getuigenis in het boek "Het Cyclus Kompas".
Veel luisterplezier en laat gerust weten wat je ervan vond!

In aflevering 5 van Het Cyclus Kompas, de podcast, praten we over veel voorkomende klachten bij vrouwen, zoals pijn tijdens de menstruatie, vrijen, plassen of stoelgang. Helaas blijkt dat maar liefst 90% van de vrouwen last heeft van deze klachten, maar er niet genoeg aandacht aan besteed wordt. In feite krijgt 31% van hen te horen dat deze klachten normaal zijn en dat ze ermee moeten leren leven. Is dit echt de norm voor vrouwen?
Om hierover meer te weten te komen, hebben we twee experts uitgenodigd: Uwe Porters, vroedvrouw en postpartum expert, en Colette Peeters, osteopaat en expert op het gebied van endometriose, onvruchtbaarheid en gynaecologische klachten.

In deze aflevering bespreken we hoe voeding en kruiden ons kunnen helpen bij een gezonde menstruatiecyclus. Onze darmen spelen hierbij een belangrijke rol, omdat ze onze spijsvertering en ons immuunsysteem reguleren en van invloed zijn op onze hormonen. Morgane, de auteur van Het Cyclus Kompas, benadrukt het belang van een gevarieerd dieet. We hebben twee gasten aan tafel: Lily Joan Roberts, een plant-based chef, voedingsdeskundige, ayurvedische welzijnscoach en herborist, en Lynn Van Royen, een actrice en herborist in opleiding.

In deze aflevering hebben we het over hormonale anticonceptie, een onderwerp dat veel vrouwen aangaat. Hoewel het nemen van hormonale anticonceptie voor velen van ons routine is geworden, realiseren we ons niet altijd wat de negatieve effecten kunnen zijn. De pil en andere vormen van hormonale anticonceptie worden tegenwoordig ook voor andere doeleinden voorgeschreven dan alleen voor het vermijden van een zwangerschap, zoals voor acnebehandeling. In deze aflevering bespreken we de keuze om te stoppen met de pil. Twee moedige vrouwen delen hun persoonlijke verhaal.
Trix Eden Breuls en Nouchka De Maeyer schuiven aan onze tafel aan.
Twijfel je om te stoppen met hormonale anticonceptie dan is deze podcast zeker iets voor jou!
