Energized with Dr. Mariza

As women, most of us remember exactly the moment we got our first period. It may have been a moment of embarrassment, shame, or humiliation. But it really shouldn’t be this way. Our bodies are amazing, and we need to appreciate all that they do for us. So many young girls first learn about menstruation with such a negative connotation. Rather, they should be encouraged to understand the incredible health component of their menstrual cycles. That’s why I have Holly here today, to guide us as mothers and grandmothers of young girls starting their periods. So we can help them feel empowered and knowledgeable about their bodies. Holly has developed a new app– TEENA, that’s designed for young girls to help track their cycles in a very positive way. All while educating them about how their cycles function from a health standpoint as a vital sign. The app TEENA can be paired with the TEENA device, which is a basal body temperature-based device. This is the first time there's ever been a device designed for tweens and teens to track their basal body temperature as a sign of which cycle phase they are in. This not only encourages health education and body positivity, but it also helps young girls gain agency over their bodies. It gives them the tools to set them up for success as they navigate junior high and high school, and even into college. Empowerment comes from knowing and owning their bodies at every stage.If you have a daughter or granddaughter at home coming up on her tween years, you’ll benefit so much from learning all of Holly’s tips about helping these young girls navigate what can be such a stressful time. In this podcast, Holly shares more about how we can have the hard conversations, and how we can put reproductive health in a positive light. You won’t want to miss all the details Holly shares about the importance of demystifying periods and how we can best help young girls. The resources she offers can lead to reduced anxiety and increased self-awareness, helping girls navigate their teen years with confidence. So join us in this enlightening discussion and discover how menstrual cycle education can be one of the best things to happen to the young girls in your life. Help support your daughters, children, or anyone in their journey to becoming their most confident and empowered selves!HOLLY GRIGG-SPALLHolly is the author of “Sweetening the Pill”, the inspiration for the documentary “The Business of Birth Control”-- on which she is a producer. Her book was released in 2013, celebrating its 10th anniversary later this year. Holly recently launched TEENA, a free education-forward app supporting health and menstrual cycle awareness for tweens and teens. She’s on a mission for teenage girls to feel empowered about their cycles so they feel more harmony with their bodies and reproductive systems. IN THIS EPISODE Holly’s story on menstrual health education for teens  The importance of educating teen girls on menstruation  Existing misconceptions and negative views on menstruation The impact of nutrition on the menstrual cycle  How our cycle affects our energy levels and mood  The connection between the brain and the ovaries  Empowerment through body positivity and self-esteem  Menstruation as a fifth vital sign of health  How tracking menstrual cycles can identify underlying issues early on TEENA– the basal body temperature tracking app  RESOURCES MENTIONEDMyTEENA.com*Use Discount code: ESSENTIALLY for an additional discountDownload the TEENA app  | WearTEENA Instagram | WearTEENA TikTokRELATED EPISODES #203: Why Your Menstrual Cycle Is A Key Indicator Of Your Health#244: How To Eat And Train According To Your Menstrual Cycle With Dr. Stephanie Estima#146: How To Own Each Phase Of Your Menstrual Cycle#220: Master Your Menstrual Cycle And Optimize Your Fertility With Lisa Hedrickson-Jack#286: What You Need To Know About The Relationship Between Blood Sugar Levels And Your Menstrual Cycle

Something we all relate to is wanting to feel more energized. Between working, providing for our families, and all the other hats we wear, it’s so common to feel burnt out and totally drained from day to day. Besides being a mama, I help women feel their best by optimizing their hormones and metabolism.
