The NHS didn't see you if you didn't have Cancer! Dr Mayoni on The house of Hormones

Dr. Mayoni Gooneratne: Trauma, Gut Cycles & The Future of Integrated Women’s HealthThis week on The House of Hormones, we’re diving deep into the beautifully complex world of integrated, evidence-led women’s health with the extraordinary Dr. Mayoni Gooneratne — surgeon, women’s health specialist, and founder of Human Health by The Clinic.With a career rooted in surgical excellence and an approach grounded in compassion, curiosity, and whole-body understanding, Dr. Mayoni is redefining what modern women’s health should look like. She blends medical training with functional, trauma-informed, and lifestyle-based care to help women navigate everything from hormonal chaos and gut dysfunction to burnout, PMDD, sexual wellbeing, perimenopause, and those “mystery symptoms” mainstream medicine often overlooks.After leaving the NHS to create a space where women feel seen, heard, and treated as individuals—not checklists—Dr. Mayoni has become a leading voice for healthcare that actually listens. She’s here to help women connect the dots, understand their bodies, and reclaim the power they’ve always had.If you’ve ever wondered whether your period is “bad,” why burnout hits so hard, how gut health ties into hormones, or how past trauma might be shaping your present symptoms — this conversation is about to hit home in a big way.💫 Honest. Transformative. Taboo-breaking. This episode gets to the root of what women are really experiencing.⏱️ Episode Breakdown00:00 — Intro00:01 — Who is Dr. Mayoni?00:03 — Why doctors aren’t trained in everything (and how they teach themselves to solve problems)00:05 — Leaving the NHS to truly help people00:11 — Why women’s health support hasn’t progressed00:17 — Women don’t recognise symptoms because we aren’t educated00:25 — How to know if your period is actually “bad”00:30 — Hormones & gut health00:35 — Why diet and nutrition matter more than we think00:41 — Trauma and its lasting effects00:45 — Many people simply need help understanding their trauma00:56 — What your gut cycle really means01:05:00 — Earlier menopause & the role of toxicity01:08:00 — Dr. Mayoni’s one final piece of adviceDon’t just listen, let’s talk about it!
