What if the most misunderstood force in the world was flowing through our bodies every month?

In this episode of Behind the Paddle, we explore the raw, untamed power of menstruation from ancient myths of death and fertility to cutting-edge research in medicine and longevity. Can periods repel natural disasters? Kill with a glance? Or are they simply nature’s most potent secret, dismissed for centuries?

Join us as we unravel the duality of the menstrual cycle its role in both creation and destruction and investigate how this sacred, stigmatised force could revolutionise science, technology, and how we view feminine power itself.
