Women’s Health Special: The REAL Science...

OG Podcasts
About this episode

⚡ Women’s health issues have been ignored for so long - but science is finally catching up. The problem is, the message still hasn’t reached everyone. That’s why I’m doing a deep dive into the real science of hormone health, birth control, fertility and the menopause.

💬 In this episode of the podcast, I offer practical and actionable advice on each of these important areas of female health, featuring a range of expert voices from past interviews, including:

⭐ Fertility expert Ro Huntriss

⭐ OB/GYN and NYT Bestselling author Dr Jen Gunter

⭐ Female health dietician Cory Ruth

⭐ Endometriosis expert Dr Jill Ingenito

⭐ Head Nutritionist at ZOE, Dr Federica Amati

🎧 Stay tuned to find out:

➡ How hormones are MEANT to be dynamic and fluctuate

➡︎ How different types of birth control work and why you shouldn’t fear it

➡︎ What a “fertility diet” actually looks like (and the supplements that help)

➡︎  Why MEN are just as big a part of the fertility puzzle as women

➡︎ Why the menopause is the START of the journey, not the end
