Joined by one of Australia’s greats in the female-centered psychiatry space - Professor Jayashri Kulkarni - this episode takes a deep dive into the way a woman or AFAB’s brain goes through three critical brain changes across her life. These include puberty, pregnancy and menopause. And if those phases weren’t already challenging enough, we also explore debilitating female-specific conditions including PMDD and post-natal depression, and what the latest research shows us around their predispositions and best treatments.

As the Professor of the department of psychiatry for Monash University and the Director of the HER Centre Australia, Jayashri has dedicated her life’s work to changing the way we see and treat ill-mental health experienced by women.

Join us for a compelling episode featuring Patti Kendall (@patti_k on insta), a resilient woman who's navigated the challenging landscape of living with adenomyosis. Adenomyosis, often overshadowed by its more recognised counterpart endometriosis, affects millions worldwide, yet remains widely misunderstood and underdiagnosed.

Patti shares her personal journey, shedding light on the often-dismissed symptoms that began to surface. Despite multiple ultrasounds, adenomyosis remained elusive until a breakthrough moment finally brought clarity to her years-long struggle.

In this candid conversation, Patti delves into the complexities of intimacy, dating, and relationships while managing adenomyosis, confronting taboos and dispelling myths along the way. She offers invaluable insights into navigating the intricacies of managing adenomyosis, from lifestyle adjustments to medical interventions, empowering listeners with practical strategies for enhancing their quality of life.

In this episode, bestselling author Sarah Rusbatch of "Beyond Booze" joins us to delve into the nuances of grey area drinking and the subtle yet powerful impact of pink messaging on alcohol consumption among women.

With alcohol use disorder in women skyrocketing over 80% in the past 30 years, we compare its dangers to smoking, shedding light on lesser-known facts like its carcinogenic nature and links to cancer.

Sarah guides us through crucial first steps towards sobriety, explores the vicious cycle of alcohol dependency, and elucidates how aging, particularly menopause, affects alcohol metabolism and women's health. Tune in for insightful discussions on reclaiming wellness beyond booze.
