A conversation with journalist and author Gabrielle Jackson about her new book Pain and Prejudice: A Call To Arms for Women and their Bodies
 
Having suffered from the chronic pain condition, endometriosis for 14 years, Gabrielle started to wonder why we – and her doctors – still knew so little about it. This lead her into an in-depth investigation into the topic which concluded that medicine systematically ignores or sidelines women – who are by far the most common sufferers of chronic pain conditions, and the worrying realisation that “almost everything we know about human biology comes from the study of men”.
 
On the podcast, Gabrielle talks about her own experience and discoveries – and why she is calling women to arms. If you want to read her article check out the February 2020 edition of Healthy magazine which you can pick up in your local Holland & Barrett store, and on selected newstands across the country.

Getting and staying fit for life is the dream, and in this episode we are joined by Eastnine personal trainer Ania Gabb, who talks honestly and shares her insights and experience of nearly two decades in the business with us. Ania talks to us about how to find what works for you and the all-important but often forgotten role of fitness nutrition.

EP20 - Get fit for life with Ania Gabb

Did you know there are 34 possible menopause symptoms? Or that at any one time 13 million women in the UK are going through menopause? In this special episode of the Healthy podcast, brought to you in association with Holland & Barrett, Ellie is joined by Meg Mathews, who has long moved on from her rock chick days to become something of an ambassador for how to have a positive menopause. Menopause hit Meg hard, and more than that, it took her a long time to work out that the various different symptoms she was suffering from were caused by menopause. Inspired by her own experiences, she now has a website, a product range and a new book, The New Hot: Navigating the Menopause with Attitude and Style, helping other women to be more empowered when it comes to their own menopause. In this honest and open podcast, she will help you take on the menopause, make the right choices for you and keep your sense of self, style and humour intact.
