can we talk about how women from WEIRD (Western Educated Industrialised Rich Democratic) countries have way more periods than our ancient ancestors ever would have.
we get them younger
we are not goining into longe periods of infertility caused by lack of nutrition that would cause them to temporarily stop
we aren’t breast feeding as regularly or for as long when we do which would delay the return of periods after pregnancy
and when we are fertile we are having less kids/pregnancies
surely having 13 periods a year from 13 to 50 when some of our ancient ancestors would have had that many in a lifetime is having some unknown negative effects on our health
