My guest on today’s episode of Period Story is Dr Golnoush Golshirazi, a scientist and entrepreneur who advocates for women’s health and equality in the healthcare system. She is the co-founder of ScreenMe, a patient-centric at-home testing company that looks to empower all women with scientific insight and support around their sexual and reproductive health. 

In this episode, Golnoush shares: 

• How it took her £6,000 to find out she had endometriosis 
• The fluke that led to her diagnosis 
• What she did when her doctor that her that she had to do her own research to figure out a non-hormonal treatment strategy 
• How recurring UTIs led to her starting an at-home testing company 
• The importance of the vaginal microbiome and how it’s very different to the gut microbiome 
• What you can do to improve your vaginal microbiome
• And of course, the story of her first period

Golnoush says that learning about how your body works and getting insights into your unique needs will help you make changes that have a powerful impact on your health 

Thank you, Golnoush!
