Contraceptives, UTIs and Everything You're Too Embarrassed To Ask Your Doctor

from What the Health?!

This week we're covering the topics that don't get nearly enough airtime.First up, we're joined by Dr Amber and Dr Becca, the doctors behind the Taboo Topics podcast. There's a mass exodus happening right now of women coming off hormonal contraception - but why? We dig into what's actually driving it, break down every contraceptive method from best to worst, and answer the questions most people are too awkward to ask outright. Vaginal rings, copper coils, fertility apps, the pill and breast cancer risk. Plus, is PCOS genuinely on the rise, why are kids hitting puberty earlier, and why can't you get a smear test before you turn 25?Then we're joined by Beverley Sarstedt, nutritional therapist and one of the UK's leading specialists in chronic UTI. Beverley has brought cutting-edge Microgen urine testing to the UK after working with one of the world's leading UTI specialists in the US, and she's here to explain why thousands of people are walking around with a chronic condition that conventional medicine keeps missing. We also get into genomics testing, the link between food and mental health, the supplements worth actually taking, and the health beliefs she wishes people would just let go of.https://www.instagram.com/tabootopicpodhttps://www.instagram.com/drbeccasalmon/https://www.instagram.com/doc.ambs/
