To wrap up this series, Dr Zoe chose a topic which is a talking point across media, news, and even conversations with our friends - where do we start with our gut health?!

Joining this week is actress and former Strictly star Catherine Tyldesley to talk us through her journey to discovering more about her gut health. Plus, expert Naimh Hennessy joins to give her brilliant, achievable advice.

A guest that Zoe had in mind since before even recording this series, Zoe is thrilled to be sitting down with Christine McGuinness to discuss her experience of both ADHD and Autism.

Today is the first time Zoe features another Doctor on The Doctor Will Hear You Now, but this week's guest is here to talk about their own personal, not professional, experience.

This week, Zoe takes on the topic of mental health, specifically through the lens of being a Mother.

Plus, Zoe is delighted to welcome back Dr Petra Simić, Medical Director for Bupa Health Clinics, who we met in the Bowel Cancer episode with Charlene White.

This is the only episode of The Doctor Will Hear You Now that features the big "C" word. 

Joining Zoe this week is the incredible Charlene White to discuss her experience of bowel cancer, including the diagnosis and sad passing of her mother. Together they discuss the stigma, prevention, how we find it hard to talk about death, and so much more.

Plus, joining this week is Dr Petra Simić, Medical Director for Bupa Health Clinics, to bring her own expertise to this subject matter.

When Zoe sat down to plan this series which focuses on health conditions full of misconceptions and misinformation, endometriosis had to be top of the list.

It's as common as asthma, and yet an incredibly huge number of people haven't heard of the condition. Dr. Zoe is joined by TV broadcaster Michelle Ackerley to hear her journey to diagnosis and beyond. Later on in the episode, we welcome back Dr Sam Wild (who you met in the Menopause episode) to share her own lived and professional experience.

On this week's episode of The Doctor Will Hear You Now, Dr. Zoe is joined by world-renowned athlete, Adelle Tracey. Adelle's life has been significantly shaped by dementia as her Grandmother Patricia was diagnosed with it, and sadly passed away a couple of years later. 

Also joining Adelle is Fran Vandelli from Bupa who has worked in dementia care for many years. Fran will share her professional and personal perspectives on this emotive topic.

Together, they discuss the stigma, separate the truth from the myths, and give real advice for anyone listening who may need it. 

Dr Zoe is delighted to be joined by broadcaster, and now author, Lisa Snowdon to unpack menopause. Lisa takes Zoe through her experience of symptoms, diagnosis, and journey to reaching peace with her menopause.

Also joining the pair is expert Dr Sam Wild to bring both her expertise and personal experience with surgical menopause following her hysterectomy.

Whether you are currently experiencing menopause, want to better prepare for it in your future or even if you’re someone who will never experience menopause, this episode is for us all.
