Tired of suffering from \"death cramps\" with no diagnosis for 20 years, Kate Downey has to look for her own answers. She interviews top doctors and researchers, and delves into topics from Greek history to sitcoms to TikTok wellness scams, all to figure out why menstrual pain is so often dismissed and untreated. What she finds will change how you think about your own body and the medical system. Because having a microphone gets you more answers than having a uterus. Season 1 launches weekly episodes starting February 2025.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cramped-7088693"},"episode":{"title":"Diet, Exercise, and Period Pain: What You Might Be Missing","slug":"diet-exercise-and-period-pain-what-you-might-be-missing","published_at":"2026-01-27T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cramped-7088693/diet-exercise-and-period-pain-what-you-might-be-missing","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cramped-7088693","url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/ccf3e804-7831-4099-b4c8-c50e8f358953.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","audio_url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/ccf3e804-7831-4099-b4c8-c50e8f358953.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","summary":"Have you ever sought help for your period pain and been told \"just lose some weight\", or \"exercise more\", or \"just cut out [insert any food group here]\"? We know that diet and exercise is important, and when we're dealing with period pain (or any of the conditions that cause it), we try to \"eat healthy\" and \"move our bodies\". But is there something missing from this equation that's sabotaging our efforts? Kate brings on Allison Yamamoto (certified fitness &amp; nutrition coach specializing in menstrual disturbances) to answer her questions about about diet, exercise, and period pain.
