  • Slice Three 🦴: Why Half of Women Over 50 Break a Bone: The Prevention We’re Missing

    In this episode of The Pink Pineapple Podcast, Claudia and Emma sit down with physiotherapist and health-tech founder Jenni Dowley to unpack one of the most overlooked parts of women’s health: our bones.

    Together, they explore why bone density drops with age, how GLP-1 weight-loss meds can accelerate bone loss, and why strength training, protein, calcium and vitamin D are non-negotiables for lifelong bone health. Jenni also shares the story behind her Building Bones app — designed to help women take control with personalised, science-backed programmes.

    A must-listen for anyone wanting to prevent osteoporosis, stay strong, and understand the real foundations of long-term health.

  • Slice Two 🫢: The Hidden Censorship Holding Back Women’s Health

    In this powerful second episode of The Pink Pineapple Podcast, Dr Claudia and Dr Emma sit down with Anna O’Sullivan - co-founder of CensHERship and founder of Future FemHealth to peel back the hidden layers of censorship in women’s health.

    Anna shares the story behind her advocacy work and reveals how women’s health content is routinely restricted, muted, or removed across major platforms - and why this disproportionately harms femtech founders, educators, and users seeking trustworthy information.

    Together, they explore:

    • the subtle and overt ways social platforms censor women’s health topics,

    • the financial and operational hurdles this creates for femtech businesses,

    • what happens when financial services block or limit women’s health companies, and

    • the systemic issues standing in the way of progress and the solutions that could change everything.

    Anna also dives into key findings from her recent censorship white paper (https://www.censhership.co.uk/white-paper), and spotlights the exciting innovations emerging in women’s health despite these barriers.

    If you’ve ever wondered why women’s health is still fighting to be heard online - or how femtech founders can navigate an unfair digital landscape - this episode is essential listening.
