BECOME AN EXPERT IN YOUR OWN BODY // To round out season 3 of @periodstorypod, I’m really excited to share today’s episode with twin sisters Lauren Lee-Crane &Catherine Lee. They are the founders of @SemaineHealth, a health and wellness supplement for people with painful periods.
@holeyhearts @evilwolves Would love to hear how you felt on Semaine! We had the same experience trying to find something that worked ... so we really really hope that this makes a difference for you!
@jenniferagerson@bustle My twin sister and I have endometriosis, which is already not fun, but the pandemic has made our periods heavier and more intense. We also started our supplement company (for painful periods) right when Covid started 😁
Thanks for the shout out Jessie! Having an illness and trying to leverage your pain to make something meaningful is hard and we're so thankful for the supportive Endo community.
We've been giddy about this ever since we got to be interviewed, and we are so excited that we got to be on the @This_EndoLife podcast with Jess. As co-founders we talk about why we started Semaine and our stories with period pain and endometriosis.

We’ve been fans of @This_EndoLife life since she started her podcast. It is such an amazing resource for people with endometriosis but also for anyone trying to navigate a healthier (and very well-researched) lifestyle.
Our Indiegogo campaign starts next week on Tuesday, Oct 8! Be the first to get Semaine and some lovely swag. Join us in making the future of healthcare female.
Curious about what inflammation is supposed to do in our bodies, and what it frequently does instead? Or the differences between acute and chronic inflammation? Check out our Inflammation 101 primer https://t.co/3gDaI4YYi2
We're hyper-focused on combining rigorous period science with a deep understanding of how plant-based ingredients work on a molecular and cellular level. And we want you to understand it too so you can feel empowered about your health and your choices. https://t.co/xM5JkLytnz
Inflammation is higher the week of your period than any other time of your menstrual cycle. Extra inflammation leads to pain, stress, and slower healing. Semaine helps your body lower inflammation levels naturally through plant-based anti-inflammatory ingredients.
Even though we are identical twins, our endo stories are really different. Which just goes to show you that no one experiences endo or period pain the same way. Here's Cath's story https://t.co/t0TnbVC9sg ... what's yours? #endostory#periodpain#excisionsurgery#womenshealth
As women who live with a chronic illness (endometriosis), Cath and I relate to anyone who has been to a doctor and had them shrug as you talk about your pain (an intensely vulnerable moment). Read about my endo story https://t.co/2N6sZ646u3 #endometriosis#periodpain
We are building a future where women are believed, our pain is treated, and our diseases are studied. It astounds us that women’s bodies are dismissed as "too hormonal" and confusing to be taken seriously.
More than 50% of the world menstruates & there shouldn't be anything taboo or mysterious about our bodies because that leads to lack of research, or at it's most basic, lack of interest in our physical well being. #thefutureisfemale#normalizeperiods
Semaine is for the week of your period. That's seven days (even if your period is shorter or longer). We have seven arches in our Semaine rainbow/sunrise because we want your period to feel like a rainbow-y sunrise on Semaine. #antiinflammatory#stoppainfulperiods
