Welcome to the final episode of the Best in Women's Health Season five.

This episode is like no other because it is an interview that I conducted live while on a recent trip to Australia, where I had the absolute pleasure of visiting a truly exquisite in integrative health practice - Vera Wellness.

I speak with founder gynecologist Dr. Peta Wright and her colleague, who is also a leading gynecologist, Dr. Thea Bola.

We debunk some of the overriding myths around endometriosis and chronic pain, and explore how they have seen as gynecologists a traditional approach of laparoscopies that is failing so many women with endometriosis and chronic pain.

We talk about the importance and the necessity of an in integrative approach to chronic pelvic pain and supporting women with a diagnosis of endometriosis, including the terminology and how diagnosis is delivered to women.

It's an incredibly powerful and unique episode because it's live, but also because these two women are absolute pioneers in changing the shape and our attitude to women's menstrual health in general.

In the penultimate episode of season 5 in my podcast, I speak to the brilliant Rachel Jessey. She talks to us about how she has over the years leveraged her extensive experience with long covid and post-viral conditions to explore and illuminate the complex interactions between the nervous, endocrine and immune systems.

We also talk in quite a lot of detail about quantum physics! But please don't be scared by that, you are going to be in love with it especially as she illuminates the concept of structured water.

This week’s podcast guest should be no stranger to most of you and is current in front position to feature on all of my podcast seasons to date - the spectacular Robyn Puglia.

Robyn is a functional nutritionist and a fully certified IFM practitioner who has a particular specialist interest, passion, and immense understanding of the immune system and the area of autoimmunity.

In this episode, we talk about this entirely complex system, but as you will learn, Robin has just such an innate understanding of her work that she's able to take really complex conversations and provide illumination to this subject matter. And we talk about one specific component that is really interesting - the very important difference between the term autoimmunity and autoimmune disease.

Calling all practitioners - you will not want to miss this episode and I guarantee it will leave you with so many moment you can relate you and will also give you elements for learning too.
