Is it possible to predict which teenagers will get very bad period pains years before they start menstruating? In a moment, we'll have some fascinating research on a complaint that can often get minimized.

And to help me for the whole show today, I have Professor Rebecca Katz, who's director of the Center for Global Health Science and Security at Georgetown University Medical Center in the US.

Welcome to Health Check, Rebecca.

Hello.

You know? Like, it's something that we all tell ourselves, and I think we've gotten into this situation where we all think everybody [laughs] else is managing, but really, so many people are having such a hard time, and they don't feel comfortable to speak up about it.

Dr. Melissa Lennert.

Now, Rebecca Katz is still with me, and you're just back from Portugal, where you were at the ninth World One Health Congress in Lisbon.

Now, we talked a bit about the concept of One Health on Health Check before over the years, but can you remind us, what does One Health mean, in case people haven't heard of it?
