Sometimes it seems like a satisfied sweet tooth is the only thing that can cure a case of PMS, and one company is turning that association into a reality. Devon Loftus joins Cheddar to discuss the mission behind her company, Moon Cycle Bakery. She says she's out to encourage women to redefine their "time of the month" through her hormone-supported treats.
She reveals why she's teaming up with nutritionists and acupuncturists to create her recipes. The recipes are designed to empower women to meet their cravings without the guilt. Loftus says she hopes other industries will begin implementing products that promote women's health.
She explains how she created the first hormone-supportive natural sweet treats company. We learn that she got the idea during her bachelorette party. The founder also gives a look at what's to come for the quickly-growing brand.
Brazilian actress and writer Suzana Pires spoke with Cheddar News about her nonprofit for women, how Sharon Stone wrote a foreword in her new book and what it's like being a telenovela star in Latin America.
Melissa Marra-Alvarez, curator of education and research, and Elizabeth Way, associate curator of costume, both with the Museum at The Fashion Institute of Technology, joined Cheddar News to discuss how food and food culture impact fashion.
