About this episode

Today’s episode is a must-listen because you’ll learn exactly what to do (and not do) to take better care of your body. 

In this research-packed episode, one of the top gynecologists in the world is here to debunk 10 myths about women’s health. 

Mel is asking all the uncomfortable questions you want to ask but never have, and today you’re getting the answers.

Gone are the days of feeling small or out of control when it comes to your health. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to take their power back. 

Dr. Jen Gunter, MD, is joining Mel in this no-shame, straight-to-the-point conversation. Dr. Gunter is known as the internet’s best Ob/Gyn. She is a double-board certified, fellowship-trained medical doctor and a fierce advocate for women’s health. 

Dr. Gunter says you deserve science-backed solutions, not fairytales, and she is here to bust through all health myths and clear through the misinformation. This conversation is going to make you think differently about everything, from periods to pleasure—it’s all covered today.

And you’ll also want to listen all the way to the end for one of the most poignant, inspiring endings to any episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast.
