Kristen Bell on her period and her marriage to Dax Shepard

In a recent appearance on her husband Dax Shepard’s podcast, Chair expert, the Good place The star explained what it’s like to have her period every month.

While talking about the “debilitating” process women go through, Bell said she might not have ended up with Shepard if she hadn’t checked her emotions during PMS.

“We also need to self-regulate,” said Bell, “and if I acted the way I“ wanted ”every time I get my period, we wouldn’t be 100% married.”

“I self-regulate and women do it during their period,” she continued. “Some women lose control, 100%.”

Shepard noted that he has dated women in the past who have had different reactions to their periods.

But Bell explained that she never made anyone “bananas” because she was taught not to.

“The reason I don’t eat bananas during my period is because I was brought up with socialization that told me so,” she explained. “‘You will feel bananas a few days before your period.'”

“’Don’t yell at everyone, even if that’s what you want to do, you can’t do it. What happens to you is in your brain chemistry and your hormones. And you need to know that knowledge is power, ”added Bell.
