So many women know the frustration of feeling unheard when they raise concerns about their health. From period pain to fatigue, the response can often be “it’s normal” or “it’s just part of being a woman”, leaving us to struggle without answers.

In this episode of The Finally Found Podcast, Sophie Richards speaks with Dr Nitu Bajekal - Consultant Gynaecologist, Women’s Health GP, Lifestyle Medicine Doctor and author with over 35 years’ experience in women’s health – about why so many women feel unheard when it comes to their health, and how things can change.

Dr Nitu unpacks conditions like endometriosis, PCOS and painful periods, while also exploring the role of lifestyle medicine, plant-based nutrition and self-advocacy in supporting women’s health. She offers practical insight into how women can navigate the system, access the care they need, and feel empowered with evidence-based tools that truly make a difference.

This is an episode full of clarity and compassion for anyone who’s ever felt dismissed, confused, or left searching for answers.
