Do you wonder every month what is and isn't normal when it comes to period pain?

It's time to feel empowered to say “nope I’m not putting up with this sh*t anymore” as obstetrician/gynecologist Dr Mei Cheah joins Dr Preeya to bust all the societal expectations when it comes to period pain, PMS and all the rest.

Period pain 101 - it’s basically a biology lesson with 2 mates; when should you see your GP, what can you expect, does everyone need a referral to a gynecologist, is laparoscopy the only way to diagnose endometriosis? Plus plenty of practical tips on managing period pain even if there is no underlying cause found (yes, there are things you can do and no you do not need to put up with it).

The discussions in this podcast are general in nature and do not replace the need for you to see a qualified health professional for any concerns you may have.

Friends, it's time for a short break so that we can escape the winter before we get cracking on a bunch more episodes for the rest of the year.

I'll be back on 5 August to talk about evidenced based skin care with an actual dermatologist (because we are all about debunking the wonky info that's out there). And in the meantime enjoy our chat with Obstetrician/Gynaecologist Dr Mei Cheah all about period pain.

Trying to feed a fussy eater can make even the most confident parent feel like they're failing. But (and hopefully this comforts you) it’s actually very common. Some fussiness can be a normal part of child development.

Dr Preeya chats to Alex Fili, accredited practicing dietician (working with Karitane in NSW) and mother of fussy eaters (not dragons).

Preeya and Alex provide practical tips on preventing and managing fussy eating (if it happens to rear its head in your home) whilst also sharing their own tumultuous journeys with their kids and food. Lots of practical takeaways and reassurance - just what the fatigued soul dealing with fussy eating needs.
