Podcast Women's Health Project

Join Women’s Agenda and a huge number of expert guests for The Women’s Health Project. This is a special podcast series examining how and where women’s health has been sidelined and overlooked, while also exploring the innovation, advocacy and research that’s being done to significantly change the story.  It’s a massive project. But it’s one we hope to make a solid start on during this series, to understand where and how women’s health has been dismissed, and ensure different areas like -- heart disease, mental health, reproductive health, physical health -- get a gendered spotlight to help improve outcomes for all of us. And to position women’s health as pivotal to the pandemic recovery.  This series is independently created by Women’s Agenda and Agenda Media, and made possible thanks to the support of Organon, the recently launched pharmaceutical company dedicated to a better and healthier every day for every woman.  Let’s change the story.

    Just squeeze? The pelvic floor mystery

    Pelvic floor! How does this all-important group of muscles remain such a mystery to women and girls, despite the role it serves in supporting everything from exercising to enjoying pleasurable sex, preventing bladder leaks and prolapse? Today, we're talking about it. With the help of some pelvic physios, women who've dedicated their lives and careers to learning everything possible about this aspect of our anatomy and supporting women and girls and anyone experiencing pelvic dysfunction or pain due to injury, childbirth, endometriosis or something else. We look at what women receive internationally to support pelvic health -- including up to 20 free pelvic physio sessions post birth in France. And we ask HOW is it that strengthening these muscles continues to go ignored, despite so many other fitness and exercise pressures placed on women. Particularly when it comes to social and media expectations of the "post baby body". This is the latest installment of The Women's Health Project, examining the areas of women's health that have been sidelined, ignored and underfunded for too long. Alongside the positive developments occurring that are addressing these health issues, and will ultimately support a better story and future for everyone. The Women's Health Project is hosted by Angela Priestley, produced by Allison Ho and published by Agenda Media, also the publisher of Women's Agenda. It's made possible thanks to the support of Organon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    The hushed but not-so secret world of menopause

    How did something that 51% of the population have or will experience become a “secret world”?  On this episode, we’re talking about Menopause. And of course, it’s not a secret world. It’s actually THE world.   But for some reason, it’s not so frequently discussed.  Our goal is to ask why, and to play a part in changing all of that: so that those experiencing menopause can get the support they need from their families, their employers and the wider community. Because while this is an area of women's health that doesn't necessarily lack treatment options, it can lack sensitivity. Sensitivity that sees women again feeling sidelined, dismissed and ignored. The Women's Health Project is a special podcast series created by Women’s Agenda and supported by Organon, the recently launched pharmaceutical company dedicated to a better and healthier every day for every woman.  We're exploring a number of different women's health areas throughout the course of this project, investing how and where women's health has been overlooked as well as some of the innovations, research and advocacy occurring that we can feel optimistic about. Thank you to our special guests today, including Professor Jayashri Kulkarni, Katie Harris and Dr Julia Menzies. The Women's Health Project is hosted by Angela Priestley, produced by Allison Ho and the wider team at Agenda Media, the publisher of Women's Agenda. The project is editorially independent but made possible thanks to Organon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
